So Shepard Fairey’s art is featured in the latest issue of Arkitip, No. 0051 which drops today and I have to say; bravo, homie. It’s a numbered, limited edition, hand packaged masterpiece that includes a signed Shepard Fairey 7.5 x 10 silk screen print and a laminated copy of his mug shot. Just kidding. But you kind of wanted to buy it after I mentioned that, didn’t you? Maybe next time. Keep hope alive. Get it? HOPE! If not, you should probably go google Shepard Fairey because I have a feeling you think he’s a Dr. Seuss character that deals with livestock.

I had to include a video of Shepard beasting through one of his pieces because it’s pretty impressive. And I suggest you try it at home and send me a copy so that I can laugh at admire your work. You have to give it up for Shepard Fairey. How can you not respect a street artist who gets arrested for tagging up the city, minutes before opening his first ever solo exhibition? In Boston. Get it. Also, I walked by one of the pieces the other day and it’s fantastical. And mad out in the open. Across from the Garden is not exactly stealth, my boy. I’d stick to my day job if I were you. Well, I guess you were, huh? Congratulations? Now I’m confused…too much spray paint. Just watch the video.
