PRINT DETAIL: Artist: Shepard Fairey (OBEY GIANT) Title: "RADICAL CAT OFFSETS" Shepard Fairey (OBEY) Signed Lithograph, hand-dated Limited edition print run Technique: Screen print on Speckletone cream 300 gsm fine art paper by #80 lb Overall dimensions: 20 x 16 inches Signed, Dated, directly by the Artist Year: 2026 Mint Condition ABOUT: This image of the “Radical Cat,” which I keep getting requests for, was originally created for a feline-themed art show a few years ago. Since “cat video” is an euphemism for the dumbest and lowest-quality content you can find on the internet, I decided to try to connect my particular cat image to something meaningful to me in a playful way. I have long been a fan of Black Panther activism and I thought of using another euphemism, “black cats,” which in the 60s/70s language signified fashionable Black people, to emphasize the fact that the Black Panthers were slandered and targeted by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI because they were considered “radical” and an internal terrorist threat (presumably). It’s the same nonsense that the Department of Justice under Trump is trying to use against antifascists and other protesters... don’t fall for it! If you don’t know Hoover’s mission to destroy the Black Panthers, educate yourself. I recommend Bobby Seale’s book, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, “Seize the Time.” And for any of you who love black cats, know that you’re fantastic too: a portion of the proceeds from this print will be donated to the ASPCA for the work they do in finding homes for dogs and cats.
