KCRW Exclusive: Z-Trip Soundtrack for Shepard Fairey’s Sound + Vision Exhibit
For all of you who missed my SOUND & VISION opening in London, you’ll have a chance to see Z-Trip at my 50 Shades of Black opening in LA this Wed! Z-Trip is my favorite DJ and he made an amazing mix for SOUND & VISION that riffed off of the musicians I referenced in my art. You can listen at the link below. I hope he’ll play some of this material Wed., but with Z-Trip, you know whatever he plays will make you shake your rump and pump your fist! Check out the mix! -Shepard

Music on my mind
Just got back from Coachella and with the 50 Shades of Black music-themed show, I’ve got a lot of music on my mind. Sorting through the art is easy, sorting through my record collection to decide which ones make the top-tier is hard. You can dig through the crates yourself at the show. Hope to see you there!

Shepard Fairey Inc. Artist/Professional/Vandal
Jim Daichendt, an arts professor at Azusa Pacific University, just released a new book about me titled “Shepard Fairey Inc. Artist/Professional/Vandal.” I was not involved in the creation of this book other then being interviewed but I do think it is a thoughtful and fair analysis of my ART AND business practices. His book covers much of my career with a critical eye and it’s cool that people are interested in learning more.

Worldwide Wave of Action Begins April 4 at Former Occupy Sites
As many of you know, I was a passionate supporter of the Occupy movement for its ideas and members’ courage to take a stand in person. My friend David DeGraw, one of the minds behind the 99% movement, has been working on a new activist movement called the WORLDWIDE WAVE OF ACTION. Please check it out and consider the importance of taking action for justice and equality, also known as basic fairness, in our society. The scales are tipping in the wrong direction, but your voice helps to reverse that!
