Asbury Park Recap
A week later we are still catching up from our quick hitting trip to Asbury Park, NJ. We knocked out some ambitious installations and Shepard threw down a couple of mind blowing DJ sets but most of all it was a real pleasure being introduced to a place that still has its community in the right mind set. We especially wanted to Thank, Jonathan LeVine, Juicy Jenn, and all the locals that showed up and gave their support. Below are some links to a few videos and pics of the work we did. Enjoy.

Superheavy X Shepard Fairey Limited edition poster
I am a big fan of The Eurythmics & The Rolling Stones, so I was excited when I heard that Dave Stewart and Mick Jagger wanted me to work on the art direction for their new band; Super Heavy, which also includes the musical talents of Joss Stone, Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman. The project is an epic line up that blends a lot of music styles and perspectives. Check out the new album and their limited edition poster, signed by Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart and me. – Shepard

Occupy Your City
People young and old are taking the streets to let our government and corporations know that we are a democracy that’s not for sale.
The Occupy Wall Street protest is a full bore international indictment against corporate greed and dysfunctional government.
The time is now. Protests are growing more each day, with some observers estimating the Occupy movement could swell to 250,000 online activists in the coming days.
Watch this video, then add your voice to the protest near you.
Democracy requires the wisdom of crowds.
“Opposing Instincts” at The Outsiders in London
Sage Vaughn: a contemporary painter honed in street art noted for his colourful portrayals of wildlife. Michael Muller: a Hollywood photographer with top-flight production values and a personal penchant for underwater photography, especially of sharks. They surf together, and now they make art together. It’s a symbiotic relationship with absolutely spectacular results.
Sage paints in his signature style over Muller’s magnificent photos, creating a whole that’s greater even than the sum of these particular parts.
7th – 29th October 2011
