jhulud Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 OMGPosters: Shepard Fairey has teamed up with photographer Glen E. Friedman and the legendary punk rock band Bad Brains for a new print release. This one is an 18" x 24" screenprint, has an edition of 425, and will be $120. The print is signed by Fairey, Friedman, and all of the original members of Bad Brains. It will drop sometime during the day on Thursday, March 26th. I don't know about you, but I will definitely be after one of these, what an awesome collaboration. Visit ObeyGiant.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smccown13 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yeah...I might get someone to cover my shift at work. I don't have a real apartment yet, but I am more than pumped for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smccown13 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 How do you guys have all this money to buy all these expensive posters? I have my tax return. I'm saving for a new car, but I can make one more frivolous purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 thats pretty expensive... 120 for a print out of 425 I guess they have pay a cut to Friedman and the guys in bad Brains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz725 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I dont understand how anyone ever gets a print on his site. Everytime I try to get one, the site just dies for a while and then a SOLD OUT sign is up once i refresh and the site actually works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtw88 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Maybe the band wants to put some of the proceeds towards Gay Marriage ban groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 thats pretty expensive... 120 for a print out of 425 after last year do you honestly expect to see a cheap Fairey print ever again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 ^^ Exactly. I am not a fan of his work...to me, it all seems pretty much the same in all the pieces he does. I remember when back in the day all he had done were those Andre The Giant pieces...but yeah, ever since his exposure to the mainstream thanks to the Obama pieces, people are snapping up anything and everything of his.

That homophobic shit probably happened before you were born. And Skrewdriver's racist shit happened before I was born. Should I forgive them?

rtw88 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Lot's of shit happened before I was born. It doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have opinions about it. As far as I can tell, only one of the members of Bad Brains has openly come out and said he's no longer a homophobe. Until they apologize for calling everyone faggots, this band can go fuck themselves for all I care, and anyone who still supports them is, IMO, supporting bigotry. Just because they may be smart enough now to keep their stupid opinions to themselves doesn't make them any less bigoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing Bad Brains to Skrewdriver is astounding. Clearly both bands are very similar. I'm not talking about style of music, or even type of hatred for that matter, I'm talking about your ridiculous argument that it happened a long time ago and therefore it doesn't matter.
