Shepard Fairey: Duality Of Humanity II

A dope new print by Shepard "Duality of Humanity II" has been announced to drop soon at the Obey online shop. As the name suggests this is the second print in a series inspired (in my opinion) by the Vietman war film "Full Metal Jacket" by Stanley Kubrick. The main character "Joker" upon being asked why he had a "peace" badge on his body armour and "Born to Kill" written on his helmet responded "I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir." Fortunately this is a stylistic and thematic return for Fairey to what he does best, and that is kick-ass anti-war propaganga!
