Jason Jessee X Obey Clothing
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Jason Jessee X Obey Clothing is a 2010 Shepard Fairey screen print, 18 x 24 inches, a first edition of 200 published by Obey Clothing. Released February 9, 2010 on OBEYCLOTHING.com at an original price of $50, it accompanied the OBEY 4 Jason Jessee collection for Spring 2010, a collaboration with longtime friend and skateboarding figure Jason Jessee. The source describes a shared do-it-yourself ethos, with Jessee's hand-tooled leather, metal sculptures, and wood slabs sitting alongside skateboards and bikes. The print is an illustration by Shepard, numbered and signed by both Jessee and Shepard, tying the OBEY brand to Jessee's handmade, found-object aesthetic.

Historical Context
In the artist's words / from the release record:
“Long time friend and man of iconic style, Jason Jessee invited us in to his realm to work together on a collection that we are proud to introduce for Spring 2010. The common thread that ties Jason and OBEY together is the underlying drive to do it yourself. Seeing Jason's surroundings opened up an understanding of his ability to take everything from found objects to blank pieces of paper and somehow make them intriguing and unique. Jason pulls from a wealth of knowledge from times past where you hand made objects. Seeing hand tooled leather, metal sculptures and giant wood slabs sitting right
