Artist Statement
“BIGGIE BLUE Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 300” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Biggie (Blue) is a 2004 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in an edition of 300, measuring 18 x 24 inches. Part of a two-color release available in Blue and Red, this Blue variant depicts the late hip-hop artist The Notorious B.I.G. using Fairey's flat, high-contrast portrait treatment. The print sits within Fairey's recurring series of music-figure portraits, rendering a major rap icon in the same graphic, poster-influenced vocabulary he applied across his mid-2000s Obey Giant editions. As a standard 18-by-24 screen print in an edition of 300, it reflects the accessible, widely distributed format of the period.
