Artist Statement
“I made this print to be available for those who download the #DamagedApp. I think it’s an amazing experience to be able to immerse yourself in the largest solo fine art exhibition I’ve done thus far and feel like you’re inside of the show. This is a cool way to get the app AND get a print that won’t be for sale. Thanks for the support! Thanks to VRT Ventures and Juxtapoz Mag we are allowing 450 fans who get the app to get a print as well.” — Shepard Fairey
