“Beto For All Of Us” Screen Print by Shepard Fairey (OBEY Giant) x Beto O’Rourke

The Blot was fascinated to learn that Shepard Fairey of OBEY Giant fame had dipped his toe back into the world of election campaigns with a new poster for Beto O’Rourke, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Texas. As you probably remember, Fairey’s similar poster for President Barack Obama’s original presidential campaign became synonymous with the candidate.

As Shepard explained, “I created this artwork for Beto O’Rourke after our mutual friend, John Doe from X, put us in touch. I don’t believe that Texas voters are a monolith and I don’t believe that Greg Abbott represents all of his constituents, including the Uvalde community, properly. Beto O’Rourke represents many values that I strongly endorse and I’m happy to lend my support and my art to Beto For Texas.”

“Beto For All Of Us” Print by Shepard Fairey is an 18”x24” hand numbered screen print. Beto O’Rourke’s gubernatorial campaign released 200 prints at store.betoorourke.com for $60. The prints are now sold out.

Where has the time gone!?! Thankfully Joshua has decided to revisit the lead singer of Pearl Jam by dropping this new portrait of the musical living legend!

Eddie (2022) by Joshua Budich is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print. It is available in three colorways: Fire (red), Calm (blue) and Shine (gold foil).

The numbered edition of the gold foil Shine Edition sold out at pre-sale, but Budich has released a few AP copies for $75. All three Pearl Jam portraits can be purchased now at JoshuaBudich.com/store.

Rumor has it that the Ghost Boner was born when cartoonist Frank Parsons murdered his prankster-roommate, Bryce, and pounded his remains into ink and paper to hide his crimes. Some say it was with a hammer while others say the grisly act was committed with a questionable sex toy. Either way, it unleased… the GHOST BONER! Just as Cain who slew Abel, Frank is forever doomed to draw his victim and former friend, as the lovable and naughty ghost with a boner.
