Obey Giant aka Shepard Fairey is set to release a new screen print edition next week through his website.
“Bob Marley” is an edition of 450, it measures 18 x 24 inches and comes signed and numbered by the popular American street artist and photographer Dennis Morris. The limited edition print will be sold for $80 each.

“I bought Bob Marley’s Rastaman Vibrations shortly after I started skateboarding in 1984, purely because the only good skateboard ramp where I lived was called “The Rasta Ramp.” I had mostly been listening to punk rock, but I was excited to discover reggae, which even more boldly embodied many of the same elements of social protest as punk but in a way that was much more palatable to my parents. I think my parents bought me Bob Marley and the Wailers records for every Christmas or birthday until I had accumulated their entire catalog; my very conservative grandmother even bought me a Bob Marley shirt from Jamaica. I leaned more towards punk, but some punk bands, most notably Bad Brains, embraced both punk and reggae. Bob Marley’s music always cheered me up during my high-school years of personal struggle. I’m always inspired by how steadfast and positive Bob was.” (quote from Shepard’s 20th Year Supply & Demand)

The print is set to drop on April 1st at a random time between 9am and 10am PST at the Obey Giant online store.
