About This Print
Black On Black is a 1996 screen print published by Obey Giant, measuring 25 by 19 inches, with no edition size listed in the source. It is sometimes known as "Giant Red and Navy" and is significant as the first print Shepard Fairey produced after relocating from Providence to San Diego. The source provides only this brief context, so details about its specific imagery and message are limited. Its importance rests largely on this biographical marker: it documents the start of Fairey's San Diego chapter within his early OBEY work. The entry is written cautiously given the sparse source description.
