Artist Statement
“I was very honored when Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade, BYO Records, and Punk Rock Bowling asked me to create the Punk Rock Bowling 20th anniversary poster and book cover. I've been a Youth Brigade fan since I heard their song "Did You Wanna Die" used in the first Bones Brigade video. The Youth Brigade album "Sound and Fury" is a hardcore classic. Shawn and Mark Stern of Youth Brigade also put out amazing music from 7 Seconds and SNFU through their label BYO. I'll, unfortunately, be in Vienna for an art show while Punk Rock Bowling is going, but attend the festival or at least pick up a print…
About This Print
Punk Rock Bowling is a 2018 Shepard Fairey screenprint, 18 x 24 inches on cream Speckle Tone paper, published by Obey Giant. It is signed and numbered in an edition of 500, released at $50. Fairey created the image as the Punk Rock Bowling 20th anniversary poster and book cover at the request of Shawn Stern of Youth Brigade and BYO Records. The work celebrates the festival's two decades of punk culture and reflects Fairey's long-standing fandom of Youth Brigade and the broader hardcore scene. It applies his graphic poster style to a music-and-counterculture subject.
