SHEPARD FAIREY X MICHAEL JORDAN POSTER SERIES
Shepard Fairey FTW. The founder of Obey has created a series of commemorative posters to highlight MJ’s induction into the Hall of Fame. I definitely need to check out the rest of the series and grab on of these. Dope!
DOING IT FOR DILLA + L.A. SUITE FOR MA DUKES
I was running around and forgot to put this up yesterday. Shepard Fairey of Obey/Obama Poster fame and artist B+ collaborated to create this special print of Dilla Dog in efforts to raise money for Ma Dukes. The print, of which only 400 were made, releases today and is going for $55. It’s 18 in x 24 in and can be picked up at Obey’s site. In conjunction with the poster, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Carlos Nino are hosting “A Suite For Ma Dukes” with special guests House Shoes & J Rocc in L.A. on Sunday. Details for that event are also on the Obey site. As a preview they released footage of a jam session in preparation:
SHEPARD FAIREY ARRESTED IN BOSTON
Shepard Fairey was arrested last night in Boston, on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art for a kickoff event for his first solo exhibition, called “Supply and Demand.†Two warrants were issued for Fairey on Jan. 24 after police determined he’d tagged property in two locations with graffiti based on the Andre the Giant street art campaign from his early career, police Officer James Kenneally said Saturday. Ouch! That’s harsh. On his way to his opening? Was that necessary?
Fairey has spent the last two weeks in the Boston area installing the ICA exhibit and creating outdoor art, including a 20-by-50 foot banner on the side of City Hall, according to a statement issued Saturday by the museum. The museum said Fairey was released a few hours after his arrest, but authorities did not immediately confirm that.

Once again, the world is “safe” because they caught a street artist. Sheesh.

SHEPARD FAIREY
If You live in either San Fran, the mean streets of Boston or Washington then You will have a chance to peep some of the illest pieces in an art exhibition since Takashi Murakami. Shepard Fairey, for those that don’t know, is the mastermind behind Obey & is doing some really fresh things in a hood near you!
