About This Print
Tools Of The Trade is a 2007 screen print, 18 x 24 inches, in an edition of 350 published by Obey Giant. The print was designed and photographed by Studio Number One designer Jason Filipow, with Fairey contributing input, and it kicked off a series of promotional prints by studio designers. Per the source, it is double-signed, once by Filipow and once by Fairey. The work celebrates the shared craft of design and printmaking, foregrounding the implements and process behind the studio's output rather than an overt political message.
