Last summer, the OBEY team wheatpasted this on the side of Ace Hotel New York in celebration of Shepard Fairey’s installation at Deitch Gallery.
Our longtime friend, Shepard Fairey, wheatpasting in very hot weather at Ace Hotel Seattle before it opened in 1999.
Obey held a preview of their new line last week at Ace Hotel New York, including a limited tee with artwork by Shepard Fairey. The shirt benefits the Surfrider Foundation, founded in 1984 by a handful of visionary surfers to protect the world’s oceans, beaches, and killer waves.
Shepard also painted a room at the original Ace in Seattle. Hi, Shepard. This T-shirt looks awesome.
