From Obeygiant.com:

Subliminal Projects and Paul Stolper are pleased to announce a print edition collaboration between Jamie Reid and Shepard Fairey. The editions were created to commemorate Reid's Ragged Kingdom exhibition, March 16 to April 14, 2012. Limited Quantity available.

Jamie has been one of my biggest influences and I'm honored that we worked on some collaborative images for the show. The new images deal with mutual interests of Jamie and I, addressing the timeless problems of corruption and wealth inequality, but tie into the very current themes of Occupy Wall Street and the dead end of fossil fuel consumption. – Shepard Fairey, 2012
