Wetland Powers Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "This Wetland Powers print examines the repercussions of a Supreme Court largely in the pockets of big oil. The government is supposed to create the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Still, the conservative justices in the current Supreme Court have put the agendas of big oil and wealthy property owners ahead of safe and clean water for the citizenry. The concept of "common assets"… no one owns resources like air and water and needs to be protected for the benefit of all, seems lost on many people in business and government. It is up to us as voters to elect representatives who put the needs of the citizens first. The Supreme Court makeup is always important to consider when voting for our president since the sitting president selects appointees for Supreme Court justices." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Shepard Fairey's "Wetland Powers": A Statement in Street Pop Art In street pop art, Shepard Fairey stands as a figure of monumental influence; his work is often intertwined with solid socio-political messages. The "Wetland Powers" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey, also known as OBEY, is a striking example of his commitment to merging art with activism. Released in 2023, this limited edition piece, hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, is more than a visually arresting image; it's a conduit for a critical conversation about environmental justice and governance. Dissecting "Wetland Powers" by Shepard Fairey The artwork, sized at 18x24 inches, is part of a limited edition of 550 signed and numbered prints. In typical Fairey fashion, the piece combines a bold aesthetic with a message that challenges viewers to consider the impact of political decisions on the environment. The imagery features a female figure with elements that suggest a connection to nature and its defense. Fairey's work is known for its layered visual language; every element serves a symbolic purpose, and "Wetland Powers" is no exception. Environmental Advocacy through Art In "Wetland Powers," Fairey addresses the contentious issue of land rights versus environmental protection, particularly highlighting the Supreme Court's role in shaping the fate of U.S. wetlands. The print serves as a commentary on the court's decisions that Fairey perceives as favoring corporate interests over public environmental health. Through this piece, Fairey expresses his belief in safeguarding common assets — air, water, and land — for the collective good. The Cultural Resonance of Fairey's Work Shepard Fairey's art has always resonated with a broad audience, and his Obey campaign has become a cultural phenomenon. With "Wetland Powers," Fairey continues to tap into the collective consciousness, using his art as a platform to advocate for ecological and social responsibility. The work underscores the power of street pop art to transcend the canvas and become a vehicle for change, urging citizens to reflect on their role as voters and to elect leaders who prioritize the welfare of all. "Wetland Powers" is a testament to Shepard Fairey's enduring role as an artist at the forefront of street pop and graffiti artwork. His ability to address pressing global issues through compelling imagery cements his status as an artist dedicated to the intersection of art and advocacy.

Sub-Standard Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 12x24 Silkscreen Print "This print, “Sub-Standard,” is a comment on the relationship between corporate greed, fossil fuels, and the warming of the planet and collapsing ecosystems. Standard operating, pushed by players like Standard Oil and its many offshoots, should be redefined as sub-standard. If we want to maintain the standard of health our planet needs to avoid catastrophe, we can’t allow big oil to put profits before the planet and profits before people (as well as many other threatened species). Keep in mind that big oil, which is already very profitable, is subsidized by you, the taxpayer, for up to $50 billion per year. In contrast, renewable energy sources are subsidized for only a quarter of that amount. We need to push for change. A portion of proceeds from this print goes to Greenpeace USA‘s efforts to fight for a healthy planet.⁠" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The silkscreen print titled "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey, part of his OBEY series, is a compelling piece of contemporary art that casts a critical eye on the pressing issue of environmental degradation as it relates to corporate influence and fossil fuel dependency. Limited to a release of 550 signed and numbered editions, the artwork is a bold statement in both form and substance, pulling together the aesthetics of pop, street, and graffiti art onto a cream speckletone fine art paper. Measuring 12x24 inches, each hand-pulled 5-color print stands as a testament to Fairey's technical skill and his commitment to social commentary. Shepard Fairey, a prominent figure in the world of pop culture and street art, uses his medium to challenge the status quo and incite thought about pressing global issues. "Sub-Standard" specifically targets the consequences of the fossil fuel industry's actions on climate change and ecological destruction. Fairey's reference to Standard Oil and its successors points to a legacy of environmental policy that prioritizes profit over the planet's health, indicating a dire need for change in corporate practices. The artwork employs powerful symbolism, with the juxtaposition of an industrial motif against a backdrop that signifies the natural world in distress, reflecting Fairey's narrative about the conflict between economic interests and environmental stewardship. A significant aspect of this artwork is its activism component. A portion of the proceeds from "Sub-Standard" is directed towards Greenpeace USA, funding the organization's efforts to combat environmental harm and promote sustainability. This financial support aligns with the artwork's message, creating a direct link between art, activism, and tangible support for ecological well-being. Fairey's choice to highlight the discrepancy between subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy sources in his statement further amplifies the print's call to action, advocating for a reevaluation of where public funds are invested in the context of long-term planetary health. In the landscape of modern art, "Sub-Standard" by Shepard Fairey stands out as a piece that not only captures the aesthetic edge of the OBEY art movement but also embodies a deep social and environmental consciousness, driving the conversation forward in the realm of art activism.

Rise Above Bird Letterpress Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Cotton Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Pop Culture Artist. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 13x10 Letterpress Print of Bird with Flower Flying & Words Rise Above "The Rise Above Bird " is a simple twist on the white peace dove with an olive branch, but good guys don't always wear white! The "rise above" is a call to take the high road with a nod to one of my favorite Black Flag songs. Peace is radical punk!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Shepard Fairey's "Rise Above Bird" letterpress print emerges as a striking piece of visual commentary in street and pop art. The artwork, a limited edition hand-pulled print on cream cotton fine art paper, showcases Fairey's adeptness at blending strong messages with iconic imagery. Limited to a series of 450, each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, reflecting its exclusivity and collectible nature. The print, measuring 13x10 inches, features a bird in mid-flight, carrying a flower—a symbol that deviates from the traditional white peace dove. The image is set against a backdrop of stylistic elements and the words "Rise Above," which serve as an encouraging motto and a tribute to the artist's favorite song by the band Black Flag. This piece symbolizes Fairey's larger body of work, which often intersects with the themes of rebellion and peace, a juxtaposition at the heart of much street pop and graffiti artwork. The term' rise above' does not merely suggest an elevation in position or status; it is an ideological summons, urging viewers to surpass the ordinary, to overcome adversity, and to reject complacency. Fairey's artistry here is not just in the piece's visual appeal but also in its capability to provoke thought and inspire action. Shepard Fairey's influence in modern street pop and graffiti artwork is undeniable. His works are infused with political and social undertones, calling for a challenge to the status quo and advocating for a radical form of peace that aligns with the punk ethos. The "Rise Above Bird" is a testament to Fairey's consistent vision, which has solidified his place as a pivotal figure in contemporary art. It stands as a bold statement in the ongoing dialogue about the power of art to enact change and the artist's role in a society that often needs to be reminded to look beyond the surface.

Cost of Oil AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. The "Cost of Oil" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a provocative piece that cuts to the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork's capacity to confront and question socio-political issues. Released in 2008 as an artist proof (AP), this limited edition artwork is a visual exploration of the themes of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the geopolitical ramifications implicit in the pursuit of oil. Signed and marked as an AP by Fairey, the piece measures 18x24 inches and is printed on cream speckletone fine art paper. Known for his intelligent and critical approach to cultural commentary, Fairey's "Cost of Oil" embodies the essence of his street pop art practice. The artwork is anchored by the bold, declarative question, "What is the cost of oil?" which resonates against the backdrop of a commanding visual narrative. The image features a solitary figure, clad in a shirt emblazoned with "USA," filling up a Hummer's gas tank—a potent symbol of American consumption and the military-industrial complex. The radiant sunburst behind the figure and the dripping blood-red bottom underscores the dichotomy of light and darkness in the discourse around freedom and its costs. This 2-color hand-pulled print is a quintessential example of Fairey's work, aligning itself with the 'OBEY' campaign's goal to stimulate discussion and reflect on the pervasive propaganda in public spaces. The 'OBEY' motif has always sought to challenge observers to question the mechanisms and messages in their environment, and "Cost of Oil" extends this challenge to the global issue of oil dependency and its vast implications. As a piece of street pop art, the "Cost of Oil" is a catalyst for dialogue, pushing the boundaries of what art can communicate and how it can influence public thought. It's a stark reminder of the power of visual art as a means of activism and advocacy and of Fairey's enduring role in using his art to spotlight crucial issues. The print remains a relevant and stirring piece within the oeuvre of Fairey's work and the larger conversation about energy, environmentalism, and the actual price of consumption.

Icarus Democracy 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x36 "Liberty and equality are principles most people value, but the challenge is to find the proper equilibrium between the two. Democracy is the mechanism our nation has used to balance the freedom and desires of the individual with policies that are fair and beneficial for the collective of society. Democracy requires dedicated maintenance. With the culture of the previous administration and many politicians undermining democracy itself, the folly of over-confidence about the guaranteed endurance of democracy will lead to potential disaster. The threat of fascism is very real. If you value democracy use your voice and your vote. I’d recommend reading Timothy Snyders “On Tyranny” to anyone who does not see the threats to democracy (and the principles it protects) as concerning. This print, “Icarus Democracy,” will also be available in person at Dallas Contemporary." -Shepard Fairey The Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print is a piece of art created by Shepard Fairey, an American contemporary street artist, graphic designer, and activist. In the Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print, Fairey uses the myth of Icarus to convey a message about democracy. In Greek mythology, Icarus is a figure who, along with his father Daedalus, escapes imprisonment using wings fashioned from feathers and wax. Despite being warned by his father, Icarus flies too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt and sending him plummeting into the sea. The story of Icarus is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about hubris and the perils of overconfidence or overreaching. Fairey's print likely uses the Icarus story to comment on the state of democracy, suggesting that democracies can also fall victim to hubris and overconfidence, resulting in negative consequences. Or maybe it's just fearmongering? The piece serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in preserving and protecting democratic values and institutions both ironically and literally. The artwork, like many of Fairey's pieces, is created using the silkscreen printing technique. This process involves using a screen to apply ink onto a surface, creating bold, vibrant images. The Icarus Democracy Silkscreen Print showcases Fairey's signature style, characterized by strong lines, bold colors, and iconic imagery, featuring portraiture & symbols that can be easily recognized and interpreted by a wide audience.

Styles Change Style Endures- Magenta 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 14.5 inches by 19 inches Edition of 115 June 18, 2020 Skateboarding saved my life! As both an activity and culture, skateboarding blew the doors open for me to see how creativity, fearlessness, independence, and style could let me paint my own story. To paraphrase Charles Bukowski, everything, worth saying or doing, dull or dangerous, is better with style. I learned the importance of style from skateboarding but I apply style to my art and pretty much anything else I can. My friend Blaize Blouin, the only pro skater from Charleston, S.C., where I grew up, used to say “trendy tricks come and go, but the need for style is constant”. When I picked up Hugh Holland’s Silver Skate 70’s book I was enthralled by all of the photos, but especially gripped by the shot of an unknown kid doing a stylish backside carve at the Kenter Canyon School banks in 1976. -Shepard Fairey

Revolution in our Time Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "Oct 1 is the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China and the Chinese government is planning an extravaganza of choreographed contentment in the mainland while the people of Hong Kong will hit the streets in an effort to secure their rights. I’ve long believed that protests in the streets are an essential tool for meaningful change because the passion, courage, and visceral force of the participants in a mass protest send a powerful message that they are fully committed to their cause! Ed Nachtrieb photographed many incredible moments of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. I’m honored to collaborate with Ed on a set of two images based on his documentation 30 years ago, especially because pro-democracy and human-rights protesters are in the streets of Hong Kong right now! This image “Long Live The People” will be released as a print soon… more details to come. Check out Ed Nachtrieb’s thoughts on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY "After the People’s Liberation Army was sent in to suppress what is now called the “pro-democracy movement” on June 4, 1989, there was a liberalization of economic rules and policies. China then experienced a remarkable economic transformation. The idea: if people could get rich, they wouldn’t care so much about their freedoms. I think that’s a miscalculation. In Hong Kong today, ideas championed in 1989 have reappeared in a “Revolution of Our Time” in spite of the campaign to erase such “counter-revolutionary” thoughts from history. My images used in these prints are from energetic and optimistic moments of the pro-democracy movement. Victory was in the air. Progress seemed inevitable to those with arms outstretched and smiles beaming from their faces. Shepard’s work reflects their hopes and aspirations. The same ones that fortified those protesters in 1989 are now fuel for the passionate idealists on the streets today." -Edward Nachtrieb Shepard Fairey's "Revolution in Our Time" silkscreen print is a compelling narrative connecting past and present struggles for democracy and human rights. This piece, released in 2020, commemorates the 70th anniversary of Communist Party rule in China, juxtaposing the state's celebrations with the unyielding spirit of protest in Hong Kong. Fairey's collaboration with photographer Ed Nachtrieb is particularly significant, as it draws on images captured during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, thereby linking historical acts of resistance to contemporary movements. The artwork is a hand-pulled, 5-color print on cream speckletone fine art paper. With its size of 18x24 inches, the piece commands attention, demanding consideration not just as a visual expression but as a statement of solidarity. The edition is limited to 550 signed and numbered prints, making each a tangible artifact of political artistry. Fairey's design is charged with symbols of peace and resilience, as evidenced by the dove and the raised hand, iconic gestures of defiance and hope. Fairey is known for his stance that street protests are a crucial mechanism for social change, and this belief is visually encoded in the print. His art is not passive; it is an active participant in the dialogue around civil liberties and the collective voice of the people. "Revolution in Our Time" does more than commemorate an event; it propels the message of protest into the future, encouraging a reflection on the nature of authority and the power of the people's will. This limited edition print captures the essence of Shepard Fairey's approach to art as a form of rebellion and communication. It speaks to a universal yearning for freedom and justice, transcending borders and historical moments to unite viewers in a common cause. The work stands as a beacon to civic engagement's enduring relevance and visual art's impact in mobilizing and inspiring change within societies.

Unsinkable Consumption AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed & Marked AP Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Sinking Titanic Style Cruise Liner Ship Sinking Cause of "Oil." Shepard Fairey's "Unsinkable Consumption AP" is a thought-provoking silkscreen print that resonates with contemporary environmental and socio-political issues. This artist proof, created in 2015, is part of a limited edition, hand-pulled with five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, a testament to Fairey’s commitment to high-quality craftsmanship in his work. At 18x24 inches, the artwork captures the viewer's attention with its stark imagery and powerful message. The print portrays a sinking ship reminiscent of the Titanic, a vessel historically synonymous with human arrogance and the disastrous consequences of overestimating human engineering over nature’s forces. In Fairey’s rendition, the liner is juxtaposed with an oil rig symbol within a red warning circle, stark against the cream background. The word "CONSUME" looms above, a bold indictment of society's relentless exploitation of natural resources. This image resonates deeply with themes of ecological disaster and unsustainable practices, encapsulating the idea that, like the "unsinkable" Titanic, our consumption habits may lead to our downfall. Fairey's work often encompasses a blend of street art's accessibility and pop art's use of recognizable imagery to engage with the audience on critical issues. The sinking ship is a metaphor for the potential catastrophe of unchecked consumption, while the oil rig emblem represents the specific threat of fossil fuels. Signed and marked as an artist-proof, this piece holds a special place in Fairey's oeuvre, signaling its status as a significant work directly from the artist's hands. As a prominent figure in pop, street, and graffiti art, Fairey has continually used his platform to advocate for political and environmental awareness. "Unsinkable Consumption AP" exemplifies his approach to art as a means of provocation and dialogue. This piece not only stands out for its aesthetic appeal but also for its capacity to engage the public in critical reflection on urgent global issues. Through this print, Fairey underscores the vital role of art in sparking conversation and potentially inspiring action.

This Land Is Your Land AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Neil Young Music Inspired Man Mountains Barbed Wire & The Phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" "This Land Is Your Land AP" is a captivating silkscreen print, hand-pulled by the renowned artist Shepard Fairey, commonly known as OBEY. Crafted in 2012 and marked as an Artist Proof (AP), this piece stands out as a limited edition artwork, underscoring the artist's reputation for producing iconic street and pop art. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is meticulously executed on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, enhancing its visual appeal and ensuring its longevity. Shepard Fairey's inspiration for this artwork emanates from Neil Young's rendition of Woody Guthrie's song, "This Land Is Your Land." At its core, the artwork delves deep into the subjects of immigration policy reform, societal attitudes towards immigrants, and the inherent promise of America. Fairey, a known advocate for immigration policy reform, captures a thought-provoking message, highlighting a lost verse from Guthrie's song. This particular verse poignantly juxtaposes a "No Trespassing" sign with its blank reverse, suggesting that the land is truly meant for everyone, irrespective of societal divisions. The imagery — a man, mountains, barbed wire, and the stark phrase "No Trespassing This Land Is My Land" — is a potent blend of aesthetics and ideology. Woody Guthrie, who wrote the original song, was revered for addressing societal issues such as class inequality and the abuse of power. While some labeled Guthrie as "socialist," Fairey's interpretation celebrates him as a compassionate figure who championed the rights of the marginalized. In embracing this theme, Shepard Fairey's artwork becomes not just a visual delight but a profound commentary on contemporary issues, making it an invaluable piece in the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art.

Factory Stacks- Earth First 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 350. "These “Factory Stacks” images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits?

Open Minds 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed & Numbered Screen Print OPEN MINDS 36 inches by 24 inches Edition of 675 February 3, 2022 Handling Creases to Bottom Left & Right Margins. This “Open Minds” print references the language used by the powerful fuel industry lobby to soften political and public resistance to fracking. Fracking is a form of gas extraction which beyond the carbon impact of the gas itself, contaminates groundwater, pollutes the air, and creates strains on water resources because of the high volume of water required for the fracking process. Open-mindedness about any of those detrimental impacts of fracking and other fossil fuel extraction is absurd if one cares about the environment, air and water quality, and global warming. Powerful corporations and their lobbyists spend exorbitant sums to distract from and discredit the science-based conversation about the environment. I’m all for open minds and open eyes when it comes to putting science and the welfare of the planet before corporate profits. A portion of the proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace to support its work to enhance environmental protections and combat climate change. – Shepard

The Guns of Brixton- Paul Simonon Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Art Paper by Pop Graffiti Artist Shepard Fairey- Obey x Kate Simon Rare Street Art Limited Edition Artwork. 2011 Signed by Shepard Fairey/Kate Simon & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 18x24 Small bump crease to upper edge. Shepard Fairey X Kate Simon The Guns of Brixton (Paul Simonon), 2011 Screenprint in colors on speckled cream paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 450 Signed, numbered and dated in pencil along the lower edge Published by Obey Giant, Los Angeles. "The Guns of Brixton" is a song by the British punk rock band The Clash, written by their bassist Paul Simonon. It was featured on their 1979 album, "London Calling." Paul Simonon's artwork has become iconic in its own right, as he has pursued a successful career as an artist since the dissolution of The Clash. Shepard Fairey is a well-known American street artist, graphic designer, and activist, best known for his "OBEY Giant" campaign and the iconic "Hope" poster created for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Combining his own artistic style with the legacy of punk rock, Fairey has created numerous works inspired by musicians and bands. Shepard Fairey created a silkscreen print inspired by "The Guns of Brixton" and featuring Paul Simonon. In this hypothetical artwork, Fairey would likely incorporate elements of his own signature style, such as bold colors, strong lines, and thought-provoking imagery, while paying tribute to the influence of The Clash and their music. The artwork might include references to the song's lyrics or imagery from the London Calling album cover, which features a photograph of Simonon smashing his bass guitar on stage based on photo by Kate Simon.

The Lonesome Crowded West Tower Modest Mouse Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 825 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’m really happy that Modest Mouse asked me to create some limited edition posters for their tour commemorating the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album The Lonesome Crowded West. I first heard Modest Mouse in 1998. I borrowed a friend’s copy of the album The Lonesome Crowded West, which had come out the year before, and it grew on me quickly to become a favorite. The whole album is great, very multi-dimensional ranging from aggressive and dissonant on songs like “Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine” to folky, jangly, and intimate on “Trailer Trash.” My two favorite songs on The Lonesome Crowded West are “Doin’ the Cockroach,” which builds steadily into an exhilarating staccato guitar frenzy, and the song that follows it, “Cowboy Dan,” which is full of tension, struggle, anger, and beauty. Lyrically, the band’s singer and primary songwriter, Isaac Brock, comes across as an empathetic world-weary sage. I rarely call someone a poet, but Isaac wrote with such depth for someone only 23 years old that I think poet is the only title that properly conveys his elevated craft as a lyricist. I got to do Modest Mouse’s 2000 Black Glass tour poster, which was a huge deal for me." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Marking the 25th anniversary of Modest Mouse's influential album "The Lonesome Crowded West," celebrated street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, crafted a striking limited edition silkscreen print. This 2022 piece, meticulously hand-pulled and comprising five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, mirrors the layered complexity of the album it honors. The work measures 18x24 inches, a testament to the album's monumental impact on the alternative rock scene and Fairey's own artistic journey. Each of the 825 signed and numbered prints encapsulates Fairey's personal connection with the album, having first encountered its raw and eclectic sound in 1998, a year after its release. He describes the album as "multi-dimensional," resonating through its varied tones from the "aggressive and dissonant" to the "folky, jangly, and intimate." His favorite tracks, "Doin’ the Cockroach" and "Cowboy Dan," evoke contrasting emotions of exhilaration and introspective tension, revealing the dexterity of Modest Mouse's music and the profound lyrical skill of frontman Isaac Brock. In this piece, Fairey channels the essence of the album's themes, depicting an isolated tower amidst a vast, red-streaked landscape, symbolizing the album's exploration of urban isolation and the Western American experience. The contrast between the solitary building and the surrounding expanse eloquently captures the album's title, "The Lonesome Crowded West." This visual representation goes beyond mere album art; it is an intersection of Fairey's iconic style and Modest Mouse's sonic influence, bridging visual and auditory art forms. Fairey's engagement with Modest Mouse extends back to their 2000 "Black Glass" tour, for which he also created a poster. This long-standing relationship emphasizes the mutual respect between the artist and the band, illustrating how music and visual art can coalesce to form powerful cultural statements. His artistic expression is not only a tribute to the music but also an homage to Brock's poetic lyrics, which left an indelible impression on Fairey, prompting him to label Brock a true poet. As an influential figure in street art and pop culture, Fairey’s creation for Modest Mouse cements his position at the forefront of contemporary art. It serves as a visual anchor for the album’s legacy, ensuring that its cultural resonance extends into the visual realm. Collectors and fans of both the band and Fairey find in this print a confluence of two forms of rebellion and expression, solidified on paper but echoing far beyond.

These phrases echo the cultural undertones and provocations Fairey is renowned for. The design itself is heavily informed by a medley of inspirations, including Constructivism and Art Deco, interspersed with a nod to the band Black Flag. Fairey's dedication to weaving positive symbols into his artwork, hoping they ignite positive actions in society, is evident. The blue lotus, traditionally symbolizing enlightenment and rebirth, coupled with the rallying call to "Rise Above," challenges viewers to transcend the divisive narratives that often plague society. As Fairey himself articulates, there is an overwhelming number of voices promoting fear and division, making the message of this artwork not just timely, but timeless.

The 'Occupy Protester' features a figure wrapped in a scarf, with only the eyes visible, set against a backdrop of bold red and black stripes. This image is striking and filled with emotion, reflecting the intensity and urgency of the Occupy movement. The number "99%" prominently displayed in the artwork resonates with the movement's message, which protested against economic inequality and the disproportionate power of the wealthiest 1% of the population. Fairey's choice of speckle-tone paper adds an organic feel to the work, suggesting the grassroots nature of the protests. Cultural and Political Impact of Fairey's Work Shepard Fairey has long been an artist who uses his work to comment on social and political issues.

AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Neil Young Music Influenced Woman Floating In Water Shepard Fairey's distinct style has become a hallmark in the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. One of his most remarkable works is the "Clementine AP" Silkscreen Print, an artist proof created in 2012. This piece exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship and creative ingenuity that Fairey consistently demonstrates. It's a hand-pulled screen print on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, underscoring his dedication to producing high-quality artwork that has a tangible and unique texture. The art piece's design showcases an image of a woman, evidently influenced by the music of Neil Young, floating serenely in water. This serenity is contrasted by the inclusion of the iconic "Hello My Name is" name tag, a staple of street culture that often accompanies graffiti. Such juxtaposition between calm and urban grittiness encapsulates Fairey's ability to combine different elements from varied inspirations into one cohesive and captivating piece. Moreover, the print is adorned with graffiti elements, which are not only a nod to the artist's roots but also add a layer of depth and texture to the narrative of the artwork. Another essential aspect to note about the "Clementine AP" Silkscreen Print is its exclusivity. Being an Artist Proof (AP), it indicates that this piece was part of the initial run of prints the artist created before finalizing the edition. Such proofs are treasured by art collectors for their rarity and unique details. Signed by Fairey himself and marked with the "AP" designation, this artwork stands as a testament to the artist's profound influence in the contemporary art world. Its size, 18x24 inches, makes it an ideal piece for display, offering viewers an immersive experience into the mind and creative vision of Shepard Fairey.

While Supplies Last Hand-Pulled 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Artist Shepard Fairey Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 24x12 “The “While Supplies Last” print is a combination of several approaches to image making that I enjoy, and also find versatile and impactful. I have worked in modular ways utilizing repetition for both practical and conceptual reasons. I like the soothing repetition of patterns while I also see them as a pleasing decorative device to balance the more confrontational nature of some of my messages. Flowers have been consistent motifs in my work as symbols of positive growth and harmony. Humor is also a way I deliver challenging statements. “While Supplies Last” employs all of those approaches to basically convey the idea that things like flowers that we mostly take for granted will be sorely missed when the scorched planet will no longer grow them. Of course, the concept extends much further than just flowers, but flowers are a pretty universally relatable symbol. Whatever you treasure from nature, protect it so their supply is renewable. A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace USA to support its efforts to combat climate change and environmental recklessness.” -Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's work is highly political and social, not only because he is incorporating politicians and slogans in it but more importantly because the artist is primarily interested in approaching as many people as possible, exhibiting his work in the covers of the books, which we read, in the music albums, to which we listen, and on the walls of the streets, where we walk. “If I put art in a daring spot, it’s more moving to the viewer and demonstrates my conviction.”, he says. After all, Fairey, in many cases, directly expresses his views on politics and society, whenever he is given the chance. For example, in the aftermath of the “Hope” poster, he commented the following: “Obama has had a really tough time, but there have been a lot of things that he's compromised on that I never would have expected. I mean, drones and domestic spying are the last things I would have thought [he'd support]”. The political aspect of his work can, also, be seen under the spectrum of Fairey’s activism and humanitarian activity. Many of his works have been created as part of activism campaigns or were sold to support causes relevant to the Arts, animal rights, poverty, medical research, the environment, etc. The artist, however, doesn’t identify himself as an activist: “People ask me if I’m an activist, and my answer is no. I’m an artist with a point of view, but I want to do my part to supplement activist causes I believe in. I feel fortunate to connect with people who find my imagery useful and help spread it.”

American Expression Limited Edition 6-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 300gsm French Speckletone Fine Art Paper by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. n 2000 he adopted the moniker ‘DENIAL’ as a means of poking fun at advertising, politics, and media messages that contemporary society is often ‘in denial’ about. Since then he has maintained an ongoing global street-campaign of over 500, 000 stickers, placards, and murals, using the alpha-numeric characters ‘D3N!@L’. Intended as a conceptual means of marketing absurdism, DENIAL also challenges traditional notions of graffiti and public art through his bold and often satirical visual subversions. Denial is a Canadian artist who experiments with aerosol and stencil art, while his main fields of interest are consumerism, politics and the human condition in today’s society. Since the culture of graffiti was gaining more and more popularity in the US and Europe, the taggers had to be increasingly original in order to stand out. The signatures became bigger, more stylized and more colorful.

This hand-pulled screen print, meticulously crafted on Speckletone Fine Art Paper, belongs to a series of artist proofs from 2013. Characteristic of Fairey's dedication to detail and passion for unique designs, artist proofs are initial impressions made by the artist during the creative process, ensuring the final product's fidelity to their vision. These proofs, while seldom made available for public purchase, are deeply personal and often reserved for those closest to the artist. Such is the case with the "Flower Power Red AP," given as a treasured Christmas gift to friends and family. The artwork itself stands as a juxtaposition of vibrant aesthetics and profound symbolism. Dominated by the hues of fiery red, it features a lotus flower—a traditional symbol of purity and rebirth—surrounded by the iconic star from the OBEY campaign and the unmistakable Andre the Giant logo. While street art often blends subversive elements with the contemporary, Fairey's choice of symbols is a testament to his penchant for evoking thought and discourse.

Green Power Factory Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 18x24 "Green Power is a concept I’ve promoted in several pieces of my art. We need to transition to renewable sources of energy for the health of the planet. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that promote green power and put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change.

He is known for his thought-provoking and socially-conscious artwork, often combining powerful imagery with provocative messages. The "Green Power Factory Red Silkscreen Print" was created by Shepard Fairey and features his signature style and color scheme.

This method allows for producing multiple prints with a high level of detail and vivid colors. In the case of Fairey's work, the technique is particularly well-suited to his bold, graphic style.

The Dirty South Dance print may feature Fairey's signature style, including bold colors, striking design elements, and a mix of typography and imagery. The piece may focus on the "Dirty South" music scene, which refers to a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in the southern United States, particularly in cities like Atlanta, Houston, and New Orleans. The artwork may attempt to capture the spirit of the music, its artists, and the culture surrounding it while also incorporating Fairey's sociopolitical messages.

This process allows for the production of multiple copies, each considered an original print, and is a popular method for creating street art and posters. Collectors and fans of Shepard Fairey's work may be interested in acquiring the Dirty South Dance Silkscreen Print for its unique design and strong cultural commentary.

Terry Hall Tribute Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 1-Color on Pure White Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 325 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "Terry Hall, singer of the Specials, one of my favorite bands, died of pancreatic cancer a little less than a year ago. This past Saturday, Musack did an amazing tribute to Terry with a bonkers lineup, including Horace Panter and Lynval Golding of the Specials, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s, Fishbone, No Doubt (except Gwen), Tom Morello, Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy, Donita Sparks of L7, and others! I fell in love with the Specials in the summer of 1989, around the time I started listening to Operation Ivy and Fishbone, so to have members of all those bands celebrating Terry was incredible! I was also able to do the poster for the event based on a beautiful photo by Chalkie Davies. There are two versions of the print, one with the event lineup included and another that is a simpler tribute to Terry. The black and white print are editions of 325, but the show lineup print is a smaller quantity (edition of 300) because many were sold at the event, and all proceeds from those benefit Musack, an excellent music charity for kids. On a personal note, Terry came by my studio a couple of times, and we talked for hours. He was kind, thoughtful, and very open about life’s ups and downs. We talked about kids, mental health, insecurity, relationships, the therapeutic benefits of creativity, and many other heavy topics. He was a kindred spirit who I thought I’d be friends with for many years. This print was done with love… thanks for the tunes Terry!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The realm of street art, pop culture, and graffiti has witnessed countless legendary figures whose artistry has both challenged and changed perceptions. One such luminary is Shepard Fairey, the renowned artist behind the OBEY campaign, who has consistently melded activism and artistry in his works. A notable tribute by Fairey is the silkscreen print dedicated to Terry Hall, the iconic lead singer of the Specials. Terry Hall's influence in the world of music was significant, and his tragic passing due to pancreatic cancer was a tremendous loss to the music community. This sentiment was palpable when Musack hosted an astounding tribute to Hall, graced by stalwarts like Horace Panter, Lynval Golding, Jane Wiedlin, Fishbone, members of No Doubt, and numerous other eminent artists. This tribute not only celebrated Hall's legacy but also underscored the bond shared by these artists, many of whom were influenced by the Specials during their formative years. The silkscreen print crafted by Fairey serves as a testament to Hall's enduring impact on him and the broader music fraternity. The artwork, pulled by hand on fine art paper, epitomizes the meticulousness synonymous with Fairey's creations. Limited to an edition of 325, the monochromatic rendition of Hall draws inspiration from a poignant photograph by Chalkie Davies. An alternative version features the event lineup, limited to an edition of 300, with a significant portion having been sold during the event. The proceeds from this version were dedicated to Musack, a laudable charity aimed at empowering kids through music. Fairey's connection with Hall went beyond mere admiration. Their conversations, which delved deep into topics like mental health, creativity, and life's intricacies, highlighted the profound respect and mutual understanding they shared. The artist's tribute to Hall is more than just a print; it's a heartfelt homage to a kindred spirit. Through this artwork, Fairey offers the world a glimpse into their shared moments, while simultaneously emphasizing Terry Hall's undying influence in the realms of music and culture.
