About This Print
SSI / Mea Culpa (Red / Black) is a 2008 screen print published by Serigraphic Systems Inc, released April 11, 2008, in a signed edition of 300. Measuring 24 by 18 inches, it was designed as a poster for SSI (Sonic Solutions Incorporated), the electronic music project of John Goff and his brother Will. In Fairey's own note, the design repays a long favor to Goff, a San Diego friend who helped him screen print in 1997 and shared his love of electronic music. The OBEY-style imagery folds money and corporate motifs into a personal music-friendship tribute.
