DJ Shadow (born Josh Davis) is a turntablist musician. He and Shepard collaborated in 2005 to create Public Works, which is described on [DJ Shadow's website] as "a DJ Shadow/Obey Reconstruction." A variety of products were released under this project, including buttons, stickers, t-shirts, two prints, and a limited edition box set.

The box set, a limited edition of 450 priced at $169.99, included the DJ Shadow "Funky Skunk" mix CD, five t-shirts printed on American Apparel stock and tagged as Obey Clothing products(the fifth was a box set exclusive and featured a George Bush as Grim Reaper design), the Obey Giant "Post No Bills" book, stickers, and buttons, all of which were packaged in a silkscreened cardboard box.

The four non-exclusive t-shirts were later released for sale, one per month, on www.shopdjshadow.com. The designs, in order, were navy Portrait(of DJ Shadow), olive Crane(same graphic as the large format silkscreen poster), red Take Action(the same graphic as the small format silkscreen and later used on the Molotov Man print), and black Crest.

A sixth Public Works t-shirt that was not part of the box set, the "Crown and Bird" design, was released in December of 2005 and made available on both www.shopdjshadow.com and www.obeygiant.com.

The "DJ Shadow" silkscreen print was limited to 200 copies and is signed only by Shepard.

An additional, smaller-size print was also release to commemorate Public Works. Released as a limited edition of only 50 and apparently signed by both DJ Shadow and Shepard, this print featured the same graphic later used on Molotov Man. The small format print sold out at the grand opening of Public Works at Kidrobot LA on August 25, 2005.
