Description
Work signed by the artist, and numbered 188 by 500.
The print is in excellent condition.
I have been a fan of The Colbert Report since early in it’s run. I really love the character Stephen created, because he brilliantly illuminates and satirizes the techniques of cable news pundits while simultaneously using the aggressive nature of the character to ask tough questions of guests across the political and cultural spectrum. I’m in awe of Colbert’s intelligence and quick wit.
I’ve had the honor of being a guest on The Colbert Report a couple of times and my artwork has been used or discussed on the show a few other times. Stephen is such a formidable interviewer, that I almost lost my nerve to go on his show when I was first asked in January 2009. Right before I went on the show, I found out that Stephen and I both went to the same uptight and elite prep school in Charleston, S.C. I felt that our shared experience at Porter-Gaud, a school where the key to survival was being able to verbally and intellectually eviscerate the enemy, made me more prepared for the interview. I hated Porter-Gaud, sought refuge in art, skateboarding, and punk music, and left the school after 9th grade, while Stephen obviously thrived and stayed through graduation. Regardless, I thought I did pretty well in my interview.
When Stephen asked me if I’d be one of the guests on his farewell show, I was incredibly flattered, but when I was also asked to do a graphic for the final episode, I was humbled. The pressure to do something strong for the FINAL Colbert episode was daunting. With Stephen everything has to be over-the-top, hyperbolic, life-imitates-art or art-imitates-life (who knows which?) ego-driven absurdity, so we conceived an image that would aspire to the grandeur of his final skit. Stephen liked the image I created enough to not only incorporate it into the show, but to allow me to make a limited edition of art prints.
They will be available TODAY! I’m grateful to Stephen for his inclusion of me and my work on his show, but I’d mostly like to thank him for being a supreme leader in the war against bullshit! Even in character, it takes incredible smarts and courage to maintain the rigor of his show and bring the heat to George W. Bush at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The Colbert Report will be missed, but I’m sure that with his fierce intelligence, Stephen will bring a new dimension to the Late Show. I look forward to it.

Presentation
Shepard Fairey, aka Obey, is an American street artist and graphic designer born in 1970 in Charleston, United States. Passionate about graphic design since the age of 14, he began by creating designs for t-shirts and skateboards. Influenced by Andy Warhol and Alexander Rodchenko, he quickly turned to artistic studies.
In June 2025, Shepard Fairey unveiled a monumental mural on the façade of Paris City Hall as part of the exhibition “From Paris to Belém: 10 Years of Global Climate Action”, celebrating a decade of international commitment following the Paris Agreement. True to his instantly recognizable visual language, the artist created a work featuring his iconic palette of red, blue and cream, combined with powerful messages such as “Respect Earth” and “Resist Unite”. This public artwork highlights the continuity of his practice between street art, political graphic design and environmental activism, reinforcing his position as a major figure in the development of contemporary urban art.
At the end of the 1980s, while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Shepard Fairey launched the “André the Giant Has a Posse” campaign with several friends. This graphic experiment was based on the distribution of stickers and posters in public spaces. The image of wrestler André The Giant quickly became a visual symbol, spreading clandestinely across American cities. This initiative became a landmark moment in the history of American street art, demonstrating the artistic potential of posters, stickers and screen printing as independent forms of visual expression.
In 2008, Shepard Fairey achieved international recognition with the iconic HOPE poster, created during Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The artwork became a symbol of contemporary political communication and illustrated the artist’s ability to transform graphic design, contemporary screen printing and popular culture codes into powerful collective images. In 2024, he continued this politically engaged approach with the poster “Forward”, created in support of Kamala Harris and inspired by the visual language developed for HOPE. In 2021, he also created a contemporary reinterpretation of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, combining urban art, national identity and a universal message about freedom.
Despite several controversies related to intellectual property and copyright issues, Shepard Fairey remains one of the most influential figures in American contemporary art. His works have been exhibited internationally, while his monumental murals, original screen prints, posters and works on paper are highly sought after by contemporary art collectors. In 2022, he created a monumental mural in Munich in collaboration with the Department of Art and Culture, focusing on renewable energy issues.
Through an artistic practice at the crossroads of street art, contemporary graphic design, socially engaged art and popular culture, Shepard Fairey has demonstrated for decades the power of images as tools for social and political awareness. His work continues to explore the relationship between artistic creation, visual communication and collective change, making him one of the most influential artists in international contemporary street art.
