Shepard Fairey - Paint It Black

Available Tuesday, January 14th @ 10AM PDT Shepard Fairey’s new print “Paint It Black’ via his website. A portion of proceeds will go to NRDC.

Link - store.obeygiant.com/collections/prints.

Print Details -

Letterpress on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges.

14.5 x 19 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 450. Price - $80.

Paint it Black, in addition to referencing a great Rolling Stones song, is about oil dictating too much of our energy policy and our foreign policy. Imagine if all the money spent on wars and strategic interests in the Middle East had been spent on developing green energy alternatives? Instead, our government subsidizes the highly profitable oil and gas industries for $40 billion a year, because no politician wants a rise in the price of gas to be blamed on them. Newsflash: we are still paying more for gas whether it’s at the pump or through our taxes. The need for gas will remain, but we need to invest in sustainable energy alternatives as we transition off of the finite supply of fossil fuels that are also terrible for CO2 emissions. Proceeds from this print will go to NRDC to support their efforts to shape responsible environmental policy. Thanks for caring.

“Downward Trajectory”

This Tuesday, January 7th Shepard Fairey will be releasing “Downward Trajectory” via his website at 10am pdt. A portion of proceeds will go to @nrdc_org.

Link - https://store.obeygiant.com/collections/prints?fbclid=IwAR193myuOCyJEcvRxI0fE74KmpOXWoZo--3F3p_CR1AxcwIkMJlQh5UJtAI

Print Details -

Screenprint on cream Speckle Tone Paper. 24 x 24 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 500. $80.

"Downward Trajectory” is visually a tribute to the elegant compositions and angles of Bauhaus design and Ed Ruscha, but conceptually it is a warning about the hazards of continued fossil fuel reliance, especially as the science on climate change becomes even more uncontested and alarming. Our planet is on a downward trajectory unless we transition to sustainable fuel sources. A portion of the funds from this print will benefit the NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council @nrdc_org) in their efforts to shape environmentally responsible policies. Thanks for caring!⁠ -Shepard⁠ Fairey
