Featured Found a signed limited edition Shepard Fairey poster + one I don't know?

I found this cool poster along with a signed & numbered Shepard Fairey at my local thriftstore!
I thought it was a Shepard Fairey too but the signature was different. And doing an image search turned up nothing.
Can anyone tell me who did this poster? Is it a fan of Fairey who was a weekend artist or is it by someone know?
Thank you for any help!



The Shepard Fairey I found with it

 

you done well i reckon i like em both

punk loosely based on sid vicious ?

 

nope darby crash from the germs

 

the skull ones not gonna be an easy google search, as theres about a gazillion skull with flower pics. might be worth getting a decent straight on pic and try again

even going old school with search terms had about a gazillion pink skulls with flowers in them

worth persevering though i think

if theres anyone who can find the skull one its

 

Heyyyy I have Shepard print above my couch. He tries to keep his art accessible to anyone who wants it and keeps signed open editions running at low prices ($30-45). Part of the street-artist mentality. He does a lot of charity work as well. His closed editions do sell for more much though, so this was a nice find.

The other...best I can interpret is "Annie J. Nadisu" and nothing comes up for that. Screenprint with a short run...it could be a student or a local artist. It's a nice piece though. You'd be better off asking a group of urban art collectors I think.

 

LOL yeah, Shepard isn't known for doing loosely-based anything. From his first street art he was copying directly from photos of famous figures. See: The Obey Logo / Andre the Giant.

 

yeah that was based on before knowing who the artist was, but darby crash is loosely based on sid vicious, by the iron cross and padlock pendant

reckon both pieces were from the same collector

 

jesus was he really 7 ft 4 ?

 

thats one big wrestling dude

 

Hahaaa time to watch The Princess Bride again, eh? Here's a short video of the Frenchman next to a regular size guy, comparing the size of his hand and his jacket. That kind of genetic condition is really rough on the body though.

 

i knew there was a cult classic film he was in, seen it before ish, but never really 'got' it
perhaps another viewing is required

 

jesus wept, thats some big hands, i wonder how big his....... feet were

 

journeymagazine, turn the skull lithograph upside down and tap it on the ground to shift it within the frame to expose the bottom part of the signature. Or remove it from the frame. Your call.

 

Ok will do.
PS - I found another Shepard Fairey today but it's an open edition (it's with another open edition I found a while ago but never tried to sell - now I have 3!
Thank you everyone!

 

I found the one on the left yesterday.

 

I have the open edition screenprint of the one on the right. It's signed by him, is a brighter white, and doesn't have that fine print on the bottom. Like this one.

It looks like yours might be the poster that was made by the Syracuse Cultural Workers. I can't see what it might say on yours though.

The Global Warming print might need a little more inspection. I don't know of an open edition on that one. It was limited to 450 in 2009 so they are worth quite a bit. If it's from him directly, it would not be a digital print, but a screenprint. He signs his open editions, as well as his limited, with the limited being numbered of course. If he does an open and limited edition of the same image, there would be differences in size, colorway, or the image, etc. It's possible this is an official poster, like the Syracuse one. Or it could be a fake from a poster site. I'd take it out of the frame to view the bottom (although his signature should be visible up on the image a bit, if it's there). I'd also look with a loupe to see the type of printing.

 

I will take out & look - fake or copy will have pixels/dots?
