The prints are available by application until November 25th at 20:00 GMT via this link. Each print is from an edition of 250 (+ 50 APs). In ‘Fairey/Hirst: The Hope Paintings’, Hirst’s iconic ‘Spin Paintings’ aesthetic merges with Fairey’s intricate graphic style to create four dynamic works.

Fall of Freedom matters right now because so many of our freedoms are under threat. #FallofFreedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. As part of Fall of Freedom, I am teaming up with BEYOND THE STREETS to feature my show “Out of Print,” which opened this past Saturday.

"Uplift Justice” is based on a mural I painted in Philadelphia in the Fall. I wanted to create an image in Philly, a city often considered the birthplace of American democracy, that connects the ideals of the past with the questions we face today. Nearly 250 years after the founding of this country, we have an opportunity to ask ourselves what the next 250 years should look like—a continuation of where we’re headed, or maybe a reset.

I’ve been a fan of Tom Petty since I first heard “Refugee” and “Don’t Do Me Like That” on the radio as a nine-year-old kid. I was lucky enough to work with Tom on several projects before he passed. I created the original art for The Live Anthology box set back in 2009 and was happy to revisit this for the latest edition.

I saw one of Alfredo Gonzalez’s art pieces online and did a deep dive into his exquisitely rendered body of work. I then contacted him to commission an art piece, which led to us becoming friends and to further art acquisitions, and eventually to this Make Art Not War(Painting) print project. Alfredo, being of a kind and generous character, made a small painting inspired by my Make Art Not War print and gave it to me as a gift.

Punk rock changed my life as a teen and its ethos still fuels me today, so I’m honored to show along side punk artist heroes of mine Jamie Reid and Winston Smith as well as Invader and NoNÅME. Check it out if you are in Munich. -Shepard Under the title Copy + Paste, the AMUSEUM of Contemporary Art presents original works by the visual creators of punk – 

BEYOND THE STREETS is proud to present SHEPARD FAIREY: OUT OF PRINT, a landmark exhibition devoted to the artist’s lifelong dialogue with printmaking. Bringing together more than 400 original screen prints alongside new and re‑mixed works that combine screen printing and stenciling, the exhibition surveys Fairey’s enduring commitment to the image, the multiple, and the power of mass communication. “I’m a product of the era of mass production, and the mass culture printing has created.

“ICE Too Cold To Thaw” is a new song by DAVID J & the RESISTANCE through No Devotion Records. It is a direct affront to the horrors and traumas experienced by non-citizens (and those perceived to be immigrants) by ICE, which has been targeting undocumented immigrants across the country. Shepard Fairey and Tomo77 came together to create the front and back artwork for the album as well as an accompanying limited edition signed screenprint of the album art. 

HENI is delighted to release "Obey Invader," four limited-edition silkscreen prints by Obey Giant and Space Invader. The prints are based on new works currently on view at the 'Triple Trouble' exhibition at Newport Street Gallery in London. The works are available by application until October 23rd via this link. Each print is from an edition of 250 (+ 50 APs).

It has been a long time since Obey Giant and Lodown Magazine collided and left their mark on popular culture. Almost thirty years ago, the paths of Shepard Fairey and Thomas “Marok” Marecki crossed in San Diego, USA. Lodown Magazine was still in its infancy, and Fairey’s artistic evolution was only beginning. Both shared the same urge: to stir things up, to inject activism into culture, and to build something of their own.

Get ready to celebrate art, rebellion, and fearless creativity on October 16th at the opening party of “Photo Synthesis” by Shepard Fairey, one of the world’s most iconic street artists. Here’s what’s happening:Artist Talk: Shepard Fairey in conversation with Sven Fortmann, editor-in-chief at Lodown Magazine, on the past, present, and future of street art. From city walls to global galleries, discover how street art shapes culture, challenges authority, and inspires communities.

ATTENTION: Triple Trouble, my collaborative show with Damien Hirst and Space Invader is not exclusively an indoor gallery experience, we also painted a mural including imagery from all three of us in Shoreditch, London. This, I was told, is the only mural including Damien Hirst’s work in London and definitely the only mural including all three of us anywhere in the world, so I think it’s pretty special.

Newport Street Gallery, in association with HENI, presents Triple Trouble, an exhibition uniting three disruptive artists: Shepard Fairey, Damien Hirst, and Invader. This unprecedented show, curated by Connor Hirst, opens this week on October 10th and will feature a dynamic mix of individual works alongside bold new collaborations, many of which will be revealed to the public for the very first time.

I was honored to create this tribute print of Clem Burke, the powerhouse drummer of Blondie, based on a couple of photos by Bobby Grossman. Blondie is part of my musical DNA. Clem, Chris, Debbie, the core members of Blondie —are all heroes of mine, but we’re talking about Clem right now. My first almost encounter with Clem was in Los Angeles when our studio was in the Wiltern Theater building.

I've always believed that one of the most essential parts of my practice is accessibility, so I'm excited to officially announce that 25 artworks of mine are now available on the Samsung Art Store. Visual communication and the spread of ideas is empowering in a lot of different ways. The Samsung Art Store gives me the opportunity to share my artwork with a new audience outside of traditional galleries or city walls.

Why would I want to collaborate on an exhibition with Invader and Damien Hirst? I’ve long respected both artists because they are intelligent, conceptual, and relentless in their singular creative visions. “Obsessive” might be too mild a description to convey their drive, focus, and prodigious output. I can relate to them. I also admire risk-takers and troublemakers who can withstand condescending, impolite jabs from supposedly polite society. 

If you didn't get a chance to get a print at the Circle Jerks' show last week, there will be a limited number of prints available at the Obey Giant Store on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 10AM PT! I’m a big fan of the Circle Jerks and in fact, the Circle Jerks were one of the first hardcore bands I saw when they came to my home of Charleston, S.C.

With this new mural, “Uplift Justice," I wanted to create something that connects the ideals of the past with the questions we face today. Nearly 250 years after the founding of this country, we have an opportunity to ask ourselves what the next 250 years should look like—a continuation of where we’re headed, or maybe a reset. I chose a woman as the central figure because I see women as natural peacemakers, builders of family and community—the qualities we need most right now.

35 years ago, while attending the Rhode Island School of Design, I wrote a paper I initially called “A Social and Psychological Explanation of Andre the Giant Has a Posse” for a great class examining human factors and environmental controls in architecture. I was an illustration major, so I looked for relevant material in my medium, so it made sense for me to write about my sticker project.
