20 Year Retro Series Set
This large format print series was created to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of OBEY. The series was first released in Feb but only to a selected few for the opening of Shepard’s 20 year Retrospective at the ICA Boston. Shepard chose to revisit these images, from the 98 – 2000 era, due to their popularity but adding a more refined look to them with the replace of the OBEY Orange for a Metallic Gold. This fine art print series will go sale on 4/2/09 at noon. The series will initially go on sale only as a set with a few individual prints sold separately later in the day.

Love Unites… Again
You remember this image from a couple of months ago. It was made to raise awareness and for the movement to overturn Prop. 8. Well, the fight is still on… Now, we are working with F.A.I.R on getting message out. Check out the online store for stuff with the Defend Equality graphic.

Earth Hour
Check it out. We just designed a PSA for EARTH HOUR which was actually this past Saturday… bold strategy to post about it once it has passed huh? Well, the concept is relevant any hour of any day, so don’t give me lip punk! Global warming is no joke and everyone can do their small part to make a difference. Turn your lights off when you are not using them, and switch over to compact fluorescents. Fluorescents are more money up front, but they last way longer so it works out financially and ecologically. Thanks for caring.

Bad Brains Collaboration Print
Bad Brains are one of my favorite punk/hardcore groups of all time. If you don’t have their self titled debut, “Rock For Light”, “I Agaist I”, or “Quickness”, they are all essential. I first heard Bad Brains at the beginning of 1984 when my friend lent me the brilliantly curated and titled Alternative Tentacles compilation “Let Then Eat Jellybeans”(A Reagan dessert favorite update to the Marie Antoinette slogan “Let them eat cake”). The Bad Brains song “Pay to Cum” from their first album was on the comp along with songs by Black Flag, The Dead Kennedys, The Circle Jerks, Flipper, etc.. I then went out to find full length records by all those bands. I soon discovered Minor Threat as well, and learned that Bad Brains had influenced their vocalist Ian MacKaye and Black flag vocalist Henry Rollins who were from Washington DC where Bad Brains had started as well. The Bad Brains were also a huge influence for the Beastie Boys. This collaboration ties into almost all of the bands I mentioned because they were almost all iconically shot at various times by photographer Glen E. Friedman. Glen shot a lot of great photos of Bad Brains and a few different shots were spliced together as the reference for this poster illustration. If you don’t know Glen’s work, and you should… go to burningflags.com. This poster is signed by Glen, me, and all the original members of Bad Brains. Keep that PMA.
