Obey Giant "Hello My Name Is" 142 of 450 LE SOLD OUT 2019 ** Ships Now **

Description: Obey Giant "Hello My Name Is" Limited Print 142/450 MadeInsta Sold Out / In Hand / Ships NowBrand New / Factory Sealed. Been sitting on this since the May 9th 2019 drop. In light of everything going on I'm opting to not items. *All Photos Are Stock* ** There's a 142 written on the top of the cylinder. There's also tape over it so I know it was written before shipped. So Obey wrote it & it's not just currier markings. It's safe to think this is 142 of the 450. I've bought several Obey art pieces before & the number on the out side is the numbered edition. ** Hello My Name Is. Screenprint on cream Speckletone Paper. 18 x 24 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 450. EXTRA DEETS:"I have been looking back through art & photos from my 30 year history as I work on the art for my 'Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent' show and I was inspired to make a painting & print inspired by a photo I took of a 'Hello My Name Is' paste-up I did in SOHO NYC back in early 1996. At that time I was still living in Providence R.I. running my screen printing studio, barely scraping by financially. I was desperately trying to survive but also kept putting my imagery up in the streets. I had recently fallen in love with Russian Constructivist design, which along with Barbara Kruger's art & much of American advertising, used primarily red, black & white, so I began designing in those colors to keep my art cost-effective & visually cohesive. I was screen printing posters in red & black ink on white paper, but I was ecstatic when a friend and zine maker Ben Woodward taught me how to rig the copiers at Kinko's (now known as FedEx Office) with a paperclip to yield free copies. The Kinko's near my apartment in Providence had copiers with a red toner cartridge AND a black toner cartridge, meaning that I could make 11x17 inch red and black mini-posters free if I was stealth about it. The 'Hello My Name Is' paste-up in this print is one of those 11x17 copies & was inspired by the pervasive use of 'Hello My Name Is' stickers with tags on them by graffiti writers. I loved all the graffiti and stickers in NYC, so this paste-up was a tribute to that world and one of my last images using the O.G. Giant face as I was transitioning to the Icon Face and Star as my main iconography. I threw a couple of other early images of mine in for extra texture & flavor." - Shepard Shipping:Ships Same Day As Cleared Payment!
