"Say Yes" Poster by Shepard Fairey

posted by Hymnalayan

Shepard Fairey will be selling limited edition autographed prints of his "Say Yes" poster on the OBEY website.

The posters are appearing across Los Angeles in a pseudo propaganda campaign for Silverlake based band AFTERNOONS. Here is Shepard's post :

"My friend Steven Scott who works at my favorite LA breakfast spot, The Mustard Seed Cafe, gave me a copy of his band's demo CD. The band is called AFTERNOONS and their music is very symphonic, uplifting, indie rock in the vein of the Polyphonic Spree or newer Flaming Lips. The standout track is called "Say Yes" and I was so inspired by it that I decided to make a poster for the band to put up on the street, and a few to sell to recoup printing costs. The edition is only 150. The prints will go on sale Monday, 6/9. There is a myspace link below if you'd like to hear them. After I played the song for Steve Jones, he immediately put it on Jonesy's Jukebox."

Steve Jones is a DJ for Indie 103.1 and founding guitar player of the Sex Pistols.
