From Obeygiant.com:

If you havent had an opportunity to see the Printed Matters show, this Saturday, 10/09, is the last day to get your money's worth! In addition to the closing, Subliminal Projects is offering up a limited quantity pre-release of the Mandala Ornament 2 Print as well as the Cornel West Print collaboration with Glen E Friedman, signed by Dr. West, GEF, and Shepard. T-shirts, books, sticker packs, and the John and Yoko print will also be available. For more information on the print pre-release please visit SubliminalProjects.com.


Glen E. Friedman and I collaborated on an image of scholar and political philosopher Cornel West. I'm a big fan of Dr. West as a thinker and humanitarian, but my admiration is even greater after spending time with him when he came to sign the prints. We hung out and talked politics, media, education etc... I don't think I've ever met a nicer person. The experience was very inspiring. Check out some of Cornel West's writings. Glen has photos and commentary on his website. The print drops Thurs. It is signed by me, Glen, and Dr. West. A portion of the proceeds will go to The City Kids charity.
