Shepard Fairey X Beeple

Eyeland Graphics was one of several local screen printers that each setup stations around the event and contribute to the making of 1000s of 1 of 1 obey screen print and stencil posters.

Beeple Studios teamed up with Charleston-born street art legend Shepard Fairey for a night unlike anything the city had seen before.

The night's theme "obey and resist" fused Fairey's analog street-art roots with Beeple's kinetic, screen-driven digital world. Mike Winkelmann, founder of Beeple, said the goal was to pair one of the world's most recognizable street artists with a digital canvas built to make his work feel alive, experimental, endlessly re-mixable, and to push what a digital art space could be.

The event was highly interactive, filled with street art, printmaking, and creative battles. Murals ranged from a serpent crushed in a fist to a whimsical outer-space scene with an alien, dinosaurs, and Bigfoot, to overtly political pieces referencing current events and power structures.

Onlookers watched prints pulled by hand, getting an up-close view of the process that defines Fairey's work. The turnout was massive, pulling in longtime street art devotees, collectors, and plenty of first-timers, making it one of the Studio's most standout nights to date.
