These large format fine art prints are banging!  Available first as a set, then later as individuals.

“This large format print series was created to commemorate the 20 year anniversary of OBEY.  The series was first released in Feb but only to a selected few for the opening of Shepard’s 20 year Retrospective at the ICA Boston.  Shepard chose to revisit these images, from the 98 – 2000 era, due to their popularity but adding a more refined look to them with the replace of the OBEY Orange for a Metallic Gold.  This fine art print series will go sale on 4/2/09 at noon.  The series will initially go on sale only as a set with a few individual prints sold separately later in the day.”

To put it modestly, Margaret Kilgallen’s influence in art has been far reaching. In the most recent scanned issue from Juxtapoz’s archive there is a great profile of her as well as the added bonus of artists Walton Ford, Winston Smith, and the Clayton Brothers.

MagCloud is in essence a DIY magazine service, taking the photocopied zine and turning it glossy. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Initially intrigued by the boastfulness of their name (not to mention their stunning “crowns” card), Brooklyn’s own enormouschampion is a brilliantly tidy (read: small but mighty) design group / stationer started by photographer Jordan Provost and design director Jason Wong who are responsible for all of the letterpressing, printing and production of every cleverly-designed and perfectly-executed piece.

Collaborating occasionally with artists who have included Tim Fite (bike series) and Erik Marinovich (nautical series), their work taps into those perfect artful sentiments for moments that may require impact, yet something a bit less sappy. They’ve outdone themselves with their newest sets aptly titled “Bats & Bunnies” and Seagulls & Eagles,” inspired by houndstooth and herringbone woven fabric patterns, respectively. These two sets will undoubtedly join many of their other cards and prints as framed pieces on the walls here at headquarters and at home.

Visit their Etsy shop to check out what they currently have on offer, read an interview with J & J at The Scout and head over to Misosouper for a chance to win a limited edition “All Good Things” print.

Our friends in Brooklyn woke us up with an email this morning regarding new prints and originals, as well as a fresh new website.  Faile gets colorful, that’s for sure. A lottery has been set up over the next two days, winners will have the chance to purchase work. I wish I wasn’t on a moratorium, because I would love for this piece above to adorn one of my walls.  More info after the jump.

If memory serves me correct, the imagery for this print first appeared in an enormous way this past February at Shepard Fairey’s ICA retrospective.  Luckily for the public, the decision has been made to turn this into a print that will be available for purchase this Thursday, March 19th at 12pm EST. On the obvious tip, is it just me or is this the closest Shepard Fairey has ever gotten to looking like Georgia O’Keefe?

*Ed’s note:  And by O’Keefe, I mean a lady coming out of a vagina.

Grotesk put up some great scans on his blog of a book he found titled Tenth Street.  Shot by Bill Binzen in the 1960′s, Tenth Street documents a slice of life along the namesake street, from the East side to the West side.

If you’re looking to add affordable and humorous artwork to your collection look no further than these prints by Philadelphia’s Andrew Jeffrey Wright.  Not into Mr. ET or a 3rd Grade lesson plan?  There’s lots more right this way.

Guerilla One has been around for ages and The Seventh Letter are the cream of the crop so it’s nice to see the two represented on Shepard Fairey’s latest print as the heavy lifters.  Available this Thursday through Obey Giant and Mad Society, do yourself a favor and buy one.

A couple weeks ago we asked our readers to send in their favorite picture of a Saber piece for a chance to win this print. And you did!  The video above shows the selection process of our esteemed judge, 2-year old Logan.

In a recent interview with Glenn O’Brien for Interview Magazine, Supreme founder James Jebbia gives a little back story on the popular Artist series skate decks that Supreme has been producing.  One great quote in regards to the customers buying the decks stuck out to me because it is very true,

“It’s actually easier to get the art crowd, because they’ll buy anything if they think they can make money off of it.”

This leads into Supreme’s latest series by Damien Hirst which will enter stores and the internet later this year.  Based off of his Spin Series paintings, I wonder how he feels that each individual deck will only be $68? Welcome to 2009 Damien.

In anticipation of his upcoming solo show at Joshua Liner Gallery, Tomokazu Matsuyama has released a fresh new print entitled Kirin.
