About This Print
Bad Brains Punk Showcase (Rasta) is a 2016 five-color screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant in a numbered edition of 350 and signed by Fairey. It measures 18 by 24 inches and exists in two variants, this Rasta version and a Rock For Light version. The print celebrates the hardcore punk band Bad Brains, drawing on the band's Rastafarian-inflected identity through its color palette. As a music-themed screen print, it sits firmly within Fairey's counterculture and music collaboration lineage, rendered in his bold, graphic style.
