“SLAYER EAGLE Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 350” — Shepard Fairey
About This Print
Slayer Eagle is a 2002 Shepard Fairey screen print published by Obey Giant in a first edition of 350, measuring 18 x 24 inches. The work centers on an eagle motif tied to the band Slayer, merging heavy-metal music iconography with Fairey's propaganda-poster aesthetic of flat color, bold symmetry, and emblematic framing. The eagle, a recurring symbol in Fairey's vocabulary, is rendered as a powerful heraldic emblem. It is a mid-size early-period screen print from Fairey's Obey Giant studio, with one of the larger edition sizes in this group at 350.
