Tomas Young Tribute Print Avail. 11/30!

I first learned about veteran Tomas Young’s story when musician Eddie Vedder asked me to help him with the art for Body of War, a documentary following Tomas’ journey after being paralyzed in the Iraq War. Tomas’ courage as a person dealing with paralysis and as an outspoken critic of the Iraq War moved and inspired me. Mark Wilkerson approached me a few years later about illustrating the cover for his amazing biography on Tomas called Tomas Young’s War. The book goes even deeper than the film and demonstrates how tough life is for people with spinal cord injuries and how Tomas used his strength to shed light on his own situation and the cost of war. This poster is a tribute to Tomas and the life he lived. I recommend picking up the book and seeing the film if possible. Thanks for caring. – Shepard

Tomas Young Tribute. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on Speckletone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 200. $65. Available Thursday, November 30 @ 10AM (PST) on ObeyGiant.com in Store under Prints. Limit 1 per person/household. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Vitalogy Foundation.

    Domestic US Shipping is usually $13 from Obey, to then mail the same package onto Canada would be $16 I think.  So I could help if anyone north of the border wants, but it would only save you $10 or so

    Tempting. Save 10 would be sweet but least I won't have to deal with customs & UPS. Self clearing the item, paying the duties / taxes etc.. With USPS, items shipped to Canada are delivered by Canada Post. No need to worry about intense fees, and usually I don't get hit with duties / taxes with them.

    According to UPS website, the worldwide expedited should have no fees.

    Wasn’t it also a bit more pricey than most of his releases?  Flipper factor is low on this print as well...
