New Peace Dove Rays / AK 47 Canvas Piece

Post by A.I.M. »

We received a very large, very special package today. The piece includes old FBI COINTELPRO declassified documents still with sections blackened out, old magazine articles about our organization, the FBI most wanted poster for our AIM brother and political prisoner Leonard Peltier, along with imagery of our fellow revolutionary brothers and sisters from the Zapatistas to the Black Panthers. We thought we would share this special piece with all those who follow and appreciate Shep's work. Although we recognize his amazing artistic talents, we honor him and see him first for what he has done and continues to do as a humanitarian, activist and brother in the struggle for all oppressed peoples of the world. We are so thankful to all our friends and family from Shep and Amanda, to all those at OBEY / SNO.

The Peace Dove Rays / AK-47 mash-up piece is a unique, 1 of 1, large stencil collage on canvas, 44" x 60". The photos do not do the piece justice, it is very intricately collaged throughout the canvas with very subtle gold painted stencil designs.

Why doubt it? Very few fine art pieces don't become prints. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Molotov Hips.

Where is the thread with that story? So, he'll change Giant to Obey. Still pretty much the same basic print. I realize for the people who have been aware of Shep for much longer have a different perspective on what that means, so please educate all the newbies on why he can't use Giant anymore.
