Artist Statement
“After Shepard did some work for the Rollins Show on IFC, the Rollins camp asked if he would be interested in doing a poster for their upcoming tour. The tour features the original line up of X and definitely is something you don't want to miss! Check out the design that Shepard came up with to pay tribute to two great bands.” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print

Shepard Fairey created the design as a tour poster after doing work for the Rollins Show on IFC, when the Rollins camp asked him to make a poster for an upcoming tour featuring the original lineup of the band X.
