Artist Statement
“I've been a Blondie fan since I was nine-years-old and I've always admired their courage to play music in styles ranging from punk to reggae, to hip-hop, to pop. I've collaborated with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein on a couple of projects, but I was incredibly honored to be asked to design the newest Blondie album package for their album Pollinator, which by the way, is excellent. As an additional art component to the actual album package, I also did the tour posters for a few legs of their tour in support of the album. I have 150 of each print signed and numbered for sale on my website ObeyGi
