Obey Giant - Red Japanese Fabric Pattern Print Set by Shepard Fairey

As you may or may not have heard, Mr. Fairey was recently arrested for “an old graffiti charge from 2000 as the artist was on his way to the Institute of Contemporary Art in South Boston” for the opening night of his newest exhibit, Supply and Demand. (link) Fairey was released later that evening, and thankfully everything seems back to normal already. He’s even found time to produce a new OBEY Giant print! On Friday, February 13, 2009 OBEY will be releasing an all new red Japanese Fabric Pattern four print set.

Obey Giant - Japanese Fabric Pattern Print Set (Red) by Shepard Fairey
I think Fairey’s pattern print sets are always really stunning and well crafted, and this latest release is no exception. The Japanese Fabric Pattern Set (Red) is limited to a production run of just 100 sets and includes all four prints seen here (each print measures 18” x 18”). Each set of four prints will be $120 and sold on the OBEY Giant website. While the exact time this print set will go on sale is a mystery, for those persistent few Friday will be a very exciting day.
