GIANT 4 SALE

EARLY OBEY GIANT PRINTS by Shepard Fairey

Here we have some early prints from our Obey collection. "Nixon" part of a series of black over-prints on red design collages that Shepard was experimenting with. Others in this series include Mao and Lenin. This first attempt at over-printing led to another series of money inspired portraits with the same three Nixon, Lenin ad Mao. It was just at this time that the named switched from Giant or Obey Giant to just "Obey" as everyone knows it now. Early print get it here for sale $375.00!

About the same period Shepard got into Chinese style propaganda. He produced three of these banner style red and paper prints. We have two of three, and the last one is hard to find these days. Earlier in the Giant days, Shepard was influenced by Soviet style propaganda which in turn led to these Chinese inspired prints.

Another outstanding period in Shepard's career. This is entitled "Playboy" and features some earlier collage work as well as the rip & tear style that preceded all the punk influenced prints of the Sex pistols and Sid Vicious. Great style, get it here!
