ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
Late Hour Riot. 18 x 24 inches. Screenprint on cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey and Dennis Morris. Numbered edition of 450. $80. Available Tuesday, December 19 at a random time on ObeyGiant.com in Store under Prints. Limit 1 per person/household. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Black Lives Matter.
I’ve been a fan of Dennis Morris’ photography of people like the Sex Pistols and Bob Marley for many years but I only recently discovered the photos from his series “Growing Up Black.” I love Dennis’ photos from his neighborhood in London so when he asked me to collaborate on a piece inspired by a song by his band Basement 5, I wanted to find a connection between a Basement 5 lyric and a photo from the “Growing Up Black” series. The lyrics to the song “Riot” made sense with his photograph of Sista Cool anxiously living in a world of police and thieves reflected in her glasses. Check out Basement 5 if you can… the great tunes are in the spirit of the Slits, the Clash, and Public Image Ltd (PiL). Art and music are great on their own, but even better together! – Shepard
Late Hour Riot
In the small hours of the night,
With unrest on the streets,
Sista Cool will pray for your soul,
There is a riot going on,
Kids on the street, with itchy feet.
With the reissue of my Basement 5 album, this title is a reference to a diary of events that happened in my youth from 1965-1980. Shepard and I collaborated to create a poster that refers to a track from the album called “Riot.” – Dennis
Basement 5 were a reggae punk band from London founded in 1978. In 1979, legendary photographer Dennis Morris took over as creative force, lead vocalist, lyricist, and designer of the Basement 5 logo and branding. Fusing their own experiences with punk rage and dub-wise rhythms, together the band explored themes of alienation, 70’s inner-city existence, and what it was like to be a second-generation immigrant.
Their debut album, 1965-1980, takes its title from the year Morris arrived from Jamaica to its recording in 1980. Although reissued on CD some twenty years ago, the album has since languished in the vaults until now. 1965-1980, including its companion In Dub, was released through label Play It Again Sam (PIAS) in October of 2017.

Re: ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
Now this is an incredible print! I'm really looking forward to this drop.
Re: ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
I miss the days of being able to sit around for hours on end waiting for a random drop. Good luck all. Anyone try the ebay bot service?
Re: ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
Not sure if I like 10am or random time more.
Re: ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
I preferred a straight 10am release time, at least you know when its coming. I am not going to sit by the computer all day hoping I can get a print... I know, there is no easy solution for Shep... -there is no pleasing everyone...

Re: ANTICIPATION: Official Late Hour Riot Print
I like the random drop because I've sucked as late in scoring anything and I like people having to put in a little effort to pick one up. That said, a range of time would be nice....say 10 AM to 2 PM PT. As it is not my stuff to sell they may do as they please.
nice image BTW.

most bots have website scanners that can send updates when the website changes... doesn't really change much. bots will always have the advantage.
and if you do a bit of googling there are free websites that provide scanning services with updates so you don't have to sit at your computer all day refreshing

The set 10am drop time favored everyone. If you were familiar with the system and your web browser settings you could get in and out in 20 seconds.
In my opinion the random drops favor the bots and people who are more technologically savvy. No one wants to sit around refreshing a webpage all day.
