PHARRELL x SHEPARD FAIREY in PAPER MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2010

A pretty good read of a meeting of two artistic minds that have definitely put a stamp on our contemporary culture, hip hop and outside of it.  Peep the article here.

SHEPARD FAIREY - ALI PRINT

A dope print by Fairey who by now you should all be familiar with...if not, Google him.  These drop May 13th for $70, only 450 of them printed and Fairey signed them all.  More info is here.

KEITH HARING FOUNDATION x AIDS WALK x SHEPARD FAIREY & OBEY

In memorial of the 20th Anniversary of Keith Haring's death, Shepard Fairey has created this shirt as a fundraiser for Haring's foundation.

“If you donate $50 or more AND you walk on May 16, you will receive a unique, limited edition T-shirt featuring artwork by Shepard Fairey based on a portrait of Keith by Patrick McMullan, shirts donated by OBEY Clothing.”

SHEPARD FAIREY - GRAMMY ARTWORK

So he brought you the iconic artwork for the Obama Presidential campaign...now he's doing artwork for the Grammys.  I thought I recognized his style in the background of various Grammy footage.  It's interesting to see random spray paintings on the walls and light poles across LA turn into the momentum for iconic artwork for the President and prestigious music awards as the promotional visuals.  Shepard Fairey is that guy.

DRAKE NOMINATED at 52nd GRAMMY AWARDS (VIDEO)

If he wins a grammy off of a mixtape that was free, and even though it was re-released as an EP it barely sold...so therefore this will be historical if Drake pulls this off.  And if he pulls this off my predictions of the music industry will be correct.  Pay attention aspiring artists...PAY ATTENTION to your so-called industry.  And did Shepard Fairey design the Grammy artwork???  Looks like his work...
