PAINT IT BLACK - LETTERPRESS

Post by rlbchef »

Image

PAINT IT BLACK AVAILABLE TUESDAY, JANUARY 14TH!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀
Here's a new Paint it Black piece that I'm releasing as a larger-sized letterpress print next Tuesday. I’ve made a few Paint it Black themed images, but unfortunately, the topic remains in need of urgent address and action!⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀
Paint it Black, in addition to referencing a great Rolling Stones song, is about oil dictating too much of our energy policy and our foreign policy. Imagine if all the money spent on wars and strategic interests in the Middle East had been spent on developing green energy alternatives? Instead, our government subsidizes the highly profitable oil and gas industries for $40 billion a year, because no politician wants a rise in the price of gas to be blamed on them. Newsflash: we are still paying more for gas whether it’s at the pump or through our taxes. The need for gas will remain, but we need to invest in sustainable energy alternatives as we transition off of the finite supply of fossil fuels that are also terrible for CO2 emissions. Proceeds from this print will go to @nrdc_org to support their efforts to shape responsible environmental policy. Thanks for caring.
-Shepard⁠⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠⠀
Paint it Black Letterpress on cream cotton paper with hand-deckled edges. 14.5 x 19 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 450. $80. A portion of proceeds will go to @nrdc_org. Obey publishing chop in lower left corner. Available Tuesday, January 14th @ 10AM PDT at store.obeygiant.com/collections/prints. Max order: 1 per customer/household. *Orders are not guaranteed as demand is high and inventory is limited.* Multiple orders will be refunded. International customers are responsible for import fees due upon delivery.⁣ ALL SALES FINAL.

From the everyone is a critic point of view, the paint brush bristle lines are a little short.

Or it’s the paint applied from paint brush, then reflection of light on bristles. Looks fine to me from my vantage point. Kinda like calligraphy stroke style.

The globe is way small too. No way there are paint brushes bigger than the planet.
