About This Print
Bobby Seale (Large Format) is a 2004 screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 50, measuring 36 x 48 inches. Per the source, it is one of four large-format prints in a series dubbed 'Hero Stamp,' alongside Bobby Seale, Joe Strummer, and Noam Chomsky. The work portrays Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale in Fairey's graphic poster style at a commanding scale. The large format and small edition of 50 mark it as a more ambitious release than his standard portrait runs.
