On Thursday, Nov. 20th, PangeaSeed will officially be releasing Wave of Distress, our end-of-year fundraiser and a powerful new limited-edition in our Printed Oceans educational art print series created with the legendary Shepard Fairey. This timely piece blends beauty with urgency, using Fairey’s unmistakable style to spotlight the growing threats facing our ocean.

"I’ve done several wave illustrations over the years because I love the power and beauty of waves. The crashing waves and cycle of tides seem like an endlessly reliable pattern, but ocean health is diminishing in many places. The title Wave of Distress is meant to be a warning. Distress means “suffering in a state of great trouble.” If the oceans are in trouble, then the entire planet will be facing a wave of distress. The oceans regulate climate and reduce climate change impacts, and provide an important habitat and source of food for many species, including humans. In addition to the wave, I’ve included patterns in the art that work in rhythmic harmony. The rhythmic harmony of the ocean itself is incredibly important to maintain. These prints are a reminder to respect and restore the oceans." - Shepard

BEYOND THE STREETS is proud to present SHEPARD FAIREY: OUT OF PRINT, a landmark exhibition devoted to the artist’s lifelong dialogue with printmaking. Bringing together more than 400 original screen prints alongside new and re‑mixed works that combine screen printing and stenciling, the exhibition surveys Fairey’s enduring commitment to the image, the multiple, and the power of mass communication.

“I’m a product of the era of mass production, and the mass culture printing has created. I can’t imagine my art practice without the influence of, and the use of, printing,” says Shepard Fairey. “Some of my biggest art influences were not paintings but printed things like posters, album covers, skateboard graphics, punk flyers, and t‑shirt designs. Printing is a cornerstone of my art practice and philosophy. The printing press began the democratization of art, and I have used printed posters to spread my artwork and messages in public spaces as well as keep my art affordable by printing multiples.”

Spanning early underground interventions to celebrated cultural icons, OUT OF PRINT charts Fairey’s evolution across three and a half decades: from guerrilla placements and hand‑pulled posters to studio editions whose graphic precision and political urgency have entered the global visual lexicon. The presentation highlights the artist’s fluency in the language of advertising and propaganda, recoding those strategies to “arrest visually and provoke intellectually,” and underscores how the reproducible image circulated on walls, in windows, and through wardrobes functions as both civic dialogue and cultural memory.

Alongside historic and rare editions, the exhibition debuts a focused group of hybrid works in which layered stencils, paper, and ink collide expanding Fairey’s print vocabulary while remaining rooted in the immediacy of the street. Archival materials, process ephemera, and contextual graphics round out the presentation, offering a behind‑the‑scenes look at the artist’s methods and influences posters, album art, skateboard graphics, and punk flyers among them.  “OUT OF PRINT brings together the spirit of the street and the discipline of the studio,” notes Director Dante Parel. “It’s an opportunity to experience the breadth of Shepard’s print practice in one sweep from the subcultural pulse that shaped him to the images that, in turn, helped shape public imagination.”

“Some people say digital media has ended print, but the provocative, tactile experience of a print on a wall or in the wild can’t be replaced” says Shepard Fairey, “Printing still matters!”

Shepard Fairey Obey 'Live Anthology' Tom Petty Print Release Details

Artist: Shepard Fairey/Obey
Title: Live Anthology (Tom Petty)
Medium: Multi Color Screen Print
Size: 18 x 24 Inches
Edition: 1,000
Price: $75

Tom Petty was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist whose plain spoken lyrics and chiming guitars helped define heartland rock. Born in Gainesville, Florida in 1950, he formed the Epics at fourteen, then Mudcrutch, which evolved into Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 1976. Their debut album delivered radio staples Breakdown and American Girl, establishing a signature sound built on jangling Rickenbacker chords, driving bass and Petty’s nasal, everyman drawl.

Over four decades he released thirteen studio albums with the Heartbreakers, plus three solo projects and two as part of the Traveling Wilburys. Songs like Refugee, Don’t Come Around Here No More and I Won’t Back Down blend defiance with vulnerability, chronicling restless lovers, dreamers and outsiders who refuse to surrender. His writing prizes concise storytelling and memorable hooks, influenced by the Beatles’ melodic craft and Southern roots of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Petty’s stage presence was deceptively laid back; behind the lacid smile lay meticulous attention to arrangement and dynamics. He fought record industry greed, declaring bankruptcy in 1979 to void a bad contract, and later battled streaming services over artist royalties, earning a reputation as a defender of creative control.

In 2017 he concluded a triumphant fortieth anniversary tour with the Heartbreakers, then died suddenly of cardiac arrest, prompting an outpouring of grief from fans and peers who hailed him as a voice of quiet rebellion. His catalog remains a roadmap for navigating disappointment with melody, humor and stubborn hope, proof that simple chords can carry complex truths and that rock and roll, at its best, is an act of compassionate defiance.
