SXSW, the annual music/culture/technology festival winds down the circus-like atmosphere of new bands and big-name performers and ideas cramming venues with one show and roundtable after another, sometimes resulting in chaos. A regular Street Art contributor to this scene, Shepard Fairey hit up some walls as part of the Local to Global Outdoor Gallery Project.

In response to the tragedies created by the tsunami in Japan Shepard Fairey is releasing a new variation on the Dark Wave print. Profits from Dark Wave/Rising Sun will go to relief efforts in Japan.

Release Date: 3/24/2011 at a random time at ObeyGiant.com

Thanks to photographer Geoff Hargadon, who took these Austin images of Obey’s brand new work using a monochromatic palette that looks pretty fresh!

Broken Crow Releases “Housing Crisis”, first prints in Two Years

Minneapolis Represents! Broken Crow New Prints with Burlesque Printers

The new print series is called “Housing Crisis” – Hell I’d definitely agree.  Not only does this title point to the bank-created horror that is sweeping our land, but it references the ongoing theme Broken Crow has about the natural world’s schism with the man-made environment.
