Obey limited edition Smokey Robinson print

Smokey

Obey (aka artist Shepard Fairey) produced two prints of a soul legend today, a gold one which sold out in seconds and a red Smokey Robinson print, which is still available if you're quick.

The 70s-styled image of the man from the Miracles is certainly an eye-catching piece of work, but there's an added bonus – this limited edition print is signed by both Shepard Fairey and Smokey Robinson.

450 of these worldwide, sized at 18 x 24 inches, selling for a very affordable $75. Get in there quick if you want one.
