This large format print series was created to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of OBEY. The series was first released in Feb but only to a selected few for the opening of Shepard’s 20 year Retrospective at the ICA Boston. Shepard chose to revisit these images, from the 98 - 2000 era, due to their popularity but adding a more refined look to them with the replace of the OBEY Orange for a Metallic Gold. This fine art print series will go sale on 4/2/09 at noon. The series will initially go on sale only as a set with a few individual prints sold separately later in the day.

About 'Interaction #1: Gypsy Eye' Jermaine says:
"Arguably the greatest concert poster of all time is Rick Griffin's 'Eyeball,' Bill Graham number 105, done for a 1968 concert headlined by Jimi Hendrix. The immortal imagery is perfect in every way, showcasing the 'all-seeing' eyeball: according to sources, Rick called it 'the eye of god'. There it hovers, bearing a skull in it's clawed hand...a reminder that we are all mortal and passing beings. Enhancing this striking artwork is the knowledge that it was done to promote a show by the legend that is Hendrix. I can imagine Jimi moving through cosmos and alternate realities...slipping in and out of dimensions, accompanied by his ethereal companion, his cosmic guide: The Eye. These 2 legendary figures are forever entwined in the history of rock and roll...one real and one imagined. And yet the power of the one has accentuated the beauty of the other. BG 105 is a shrine of modern art, a seamless example of what happens when music and visuals combine to create a tremor on the richter scale of how we measure culture and our place in it. This is my humble tribute: Rick Griffin, we are not even worthy."
This 8-color screenprint measures approx. 20 x 30 inches and is printed on gallery stock. It features a mixture of brilliant tone inks, including a metallic and a striking color-fade. This print is from a very limited signed and numbered edition of only 150 pieces.About 'Interaction #1: Gypsy Eye' Jermaine says:

Here is the first photo we have seen of Mark Ryden’s first ever toy - YHWH. The figure is titled after one of his paintings (seen after the jump) and also cleverly posed with a little girl as in the painting, the figure is 16" tall. Not sure what it is meant to be but one definition of YHWH is the God of the Old Testament as transliterated from Hebrew consonants. Perhaps it’s Ryden’s vision of the Almighty, at least in the world of his paintings.
The figure will come in a special box and will be released by famed collector Long Gone John’s Necessaries Toy Foundation. There will also be two other colorways - black and white - more rare no doubt. Look for this to drop mid-summer 09Here is the first photo we have seen of Mark Ryden’s first ever toy - YHWH.
