For it is a freaking joyous day! Straight from the team-mates mouth, codename TheOmethod, we’ve got super new super early photo pics of this Shepard Fairey / Smokey Robinson poster collaboration. There’s a gold/black version and a “color” version of each of the two poster prints, with Fairey and Smokey signatures on em all. There’s a series going right now in the OBEY world called American Pioneers, dealing in the fields of art, music, and a slightly general category called “culture.” Smokey’s still hot!
The amazing Smokey Robinson was in the studio yesterday. He was such a kind and warm person and was a pleasure to talk with. He was signing the new Smokey prints with Shepard. They look amazing! Both images will come in the three color and the gold. – The Omethod
For more info on the Obey Giant art camp from those right up on in the inside, head on over to The Giant and get in on the Ministry of Information.
Also, if you’ll look low in the gallery, you’ll see the poster also on the way in this series made with for by and with photographer Glen E Friedman to make a lovely print of Cornel West.
Today Glen E Friedman and Shepard signed their latest collaboration print of Cornel West. The release date is unknown at this time. Here is a quick biography of Cornel West from wikipedia. – The Omethod
Of course this all leads up to the biggest show ever, of all time, ever, that being Shepard Fairey’s May 1st 2010 fine art show with Deitch Projects. This show marks a gigantic move for SF, both because it’s his first show with Deitch (also the host of such artists in the past as Keith Haring, Barry McGee, SWOON, and Yoko Ono) and because it’s the very last show Jeffrey Deitch will be doing with Deitch Projects before he moves on to be the head at Los Angeles MOCA. Big news, very big news!
