“LL COOL J RED Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 250” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
LL Cool J (Red) is a 2003 screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 250, measuring 18 x 24 inches. It was issued in two color variants, Red and Blue. Depicting the hip-hop artist LL Cool J, the print extends Fairey's portrait-poster treatment of music figures into rap and hip-hop subject matter. Rendered in his high-contrast graphic style, it sits among his music-themed releases of the early 2000s. The source confirms the year, medium, dimensions, edition size, and the existence of Red and Blue colorways; no further detail is provided.
