About This Print
Protect The Blue Planet (First Edition) is a 2022 two-color screen print by Shepard Fairey, published with PangeaSeed. The regular edition measures 18 x 24 inches on thick cream speckle tone paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 450 (250 print only and 200 paired with the Sea Change book). A larger variant edition of 75 was produced as a 30 x 41 inch serigraph on Coventry Rag cotton archival paper with hand-deckled edges. The print extends Fairey's OBEY iconography toward an ocean-conservation message tied to PangeaSeed's marine-focused mission. It was released at $90 for the regular edition.
