This highly collectible hand-signed and numbered screen print by US street art legend Shepard Fairey was produced in an edition of only 300, exclusively for The Vinyl Factory.
Recently named one of Time magazine's 'men of the year', Fairey's 'Hope' artwork for the Obama presidential campaign was one of 2008's most iconic images. Fairey’s dizzying transition from street art legend to national art hero was underscored earlier this month with a landmark career retrospective at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Arts.
Having grown up inspired by punk rock, Fairey often references his musical heroes and has created incredible artwork for such era-defining acts as Public Enemy, Led Zeppelin, DJ Shadow and Interpol. Titled ‘Freedom At 33 1/3’, this exclusive print pays tribute to legendary US rapper Slick Rick by casting him as revolutionary icon Che Guevara.
New Fairey print editions sell out within hours, with his past work rapidly increasing in value, often trading on eBay for thousands of pounds.
Be quick, these won't last long!

"What sets Fairey apart from other graffiti fanatics is the scale of his Giant campaign. The Andre image predates most other street-poster graffiti artists and Giant heads have been plastered up in Japan, Russia, Italy and Paris, as well as numerous sites throughout the UK and the US. Even British stencil artist, Banksy, cites Fairey as an influence." The Guardian (2007)
"Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support." Barack Obama (2008)
