There is the s/n 18x24 screen prints out of 450, but there is also the signed but unnumbered 24x36 offsets.. Big difference in value, collectability, print quality.. Just make sure you know what you're after and what you're getting to pay accordingly. Cheers. Thanks. Was thinking one of the editioned screen prints really. I ordered a set of the unsigned lithos but wouldn't mind a signed edition too  You know if they're much nicer and what a fair price for one would be?

You'd be lucky to pay under 1k US for the 18"x24" signed and numbered print. (I don't own one if you are wondering.) Price may go down eventually, but that image has been everywhere lately. |

Shephard Fairey Prints for Amplifier Foundation, by Hairbland on Feb 5, 2017 13:21:08 GMT 1, I'm surprised that there hasn't been more discussion about these prints on this forum. Does that indicate that the forum is more UK-centric and these images appeal more to Americans, especially the flag one? I'm curious about what the point of view is from non-US members. The D-face flag didn't appeal to me at all. I wonder if being inundated with our nation's flag since childhood, imprints it into our minds and brainwashes us into seeing it as something beautiful. Most prints with the US flag appeal to me, like Faile's version of it. How well was the Faile flag received on this forum? You bring up some really good points here.... I don't know if I count as I live in the USA at the moment but I am struggling with a couple of the images being representative of the cause.... I also feel that this is a try to be different as in - fund and then share but, as seen on this forum its actually shared to all without funding. Images are not super strong in my opinion and I don't think that there is anything in that comment that is because I'm from the UK.ย Lets not forget there are a lot of people that follow him - many many more US based and so I think it was a pretty sure thing that the funding was going to be big.... the real question is did it work? I don't have an answer to that but if you look at the remit - then it probably has not done what he wanted it to do ..... YET! Yorkie
It is all part of something much larger, something that is not just American but worldwide. I am a native NYC'er, marched in last Sunday's 10,000 strong anti-immigration ban and I saw quite a few of these being held in addition to homemade signs - part of the message and quite striking.

Shephard Fairey Prints for Amplifier Foundation, by nighthawk on Feb 5, 2017 15:25:20 GMT 1, This forum is not huge on Shep's works, hence why these flew under the radar here. I don't know if he has a crystal ball, but IMO "greater than fear" will be (already is) as iconic as a Fairey print can get!
I didn't love it at first either, but wow; talk about nailing it!

I know plenty of arab women and muslim women who don't feel the need to wear a hijab.

We all know that Shepard is all political, so I think this speaks nicely to to the simple issue that the USA has a firm First Amendment protection of freedom of speech from government interference, that explicitly includes clothing items, such as the hijab.
Obviously it speaks more to the Islamophobic presidency that is now in power. Hard to really argue with any of it, considering what's transpiring right now
