Artist Statement
“‘I first got into the Ramones in 1984 and they quickly became one of my favorite groups of all time. I saw them live in 1988 and 1989 and the shows were non-stop blistering action. I was recently honored to be asked to do the logo for johnnyramonearmy.com. I was very pleased with the logo and asked if I could make a fine art piece of the illustration. This poster was created from the fine art piece. There are two color ways. A black and gold color way is available through Obey Giant, and a black and red version is available through Johnny Ramone’s Official Store Here. Check them both out. I s
About This Print
Johnny Ramone (Black & Gold) is a 2008 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in an edition of 300 at an original price of $50. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, it derives from a fine-art piece Fairey created after designing the logo for johnnyramonearmy.com. The print was issued in two colorways: a black and gold version through Obey Giant and a black and red version through Johnny Ramone's official store. Per Fairey's note, the image celebrates his long admiration for the Ramones, a band he discovered in 1984 and saw live in the late 1980s.
