About This Print
Henry Rollins Frequent Flyer Tour is an 18 x 24 inch screen print published by Obey Giant in 2010, a signed and numbered first edition of 225 released February 19, 2010 at $45. Designed by Shepard Fairey as a tour poster for Henry Rollins, the print applies Fairey's bold graphic poster vocabulary to a music-and-spoken-word figure. It functions as a promotional tour poster translated into a collectible fine-art screen print. As a music collaboration piece, it reflects Fairey's long engagement with punk and counterculture figures, packaging a working tour graphic into a limited, signed edition for collectors.
