This week OBEY Giant will be releasing two beautiful new Shepard Fairey screen prints, “AK-47 Lotus” and “AR-15 Lily”. As Shepard explained, “These images are inspired by Vietnam War protesters who would put flowers in the gun barrels of the National Guard who were brought in to suppress their protests for peace.”
“I’m a pacifist, whether that means finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid war internationally or finding diplomatic solutions to prevent and avoid gun violence at home. I’m not anti-Second Amendment, so trolls can calm down… I’m not interested in macho blathering, I just want fewer people to die unnecessarily. Brady United is doing good work preventing gun violence so they will receive a portion of proceeds from these two prints. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard Fairey
“AK-47 Lotus” & “AR-15 Lily” by Shepard Fairey are 18”x24” signed and numbered OBEY Giant screen prints on thick cream Speckletone paper. Each poster is limited to 550 pieces and will retail for $55. They will go on sale at 10am PDT on Thursday, January 7th, at store.obeygiant.com/collections/prints.
