Artist Statement
“This image is loosely a sequel to the Peace Guard from 2008 and serves as a reminder that pushing for peace, ironically, requires a militant vigilance itself. I love the juxtaposition of seemingly contradictory symbols. Peace is victory without war. It's a good day when you don't have to use your A.K.! – Shepard Peace Guard 2. 18 x 24 inches. Screen Print. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Ed. 450. $45.” — Shepard Fairey
