Commanding in both design and message, “Ghost of War” is a 12" x 12" screenprint from Shepard Fairey’s Obey Records Deluxe Black Label Series. With the bold visual impact Fairey is known for, this piece blends vintage record label aesthetics with military symbolism to reflect on themes of conflict, control, and the lingering presence of propaganda.
 
At the center, the iconic Obey Star is surrounded by roaring lions and wreaths—symbols of strength and empire. Four stylized swords intersect the circular layout, bearing the words “Hi-Fi Audio,” “Ghost of War,” and “Stereo Technology.” The top reads “33⅓ RPM Obey LP Records”, grounding the piece in the world of analog sound and collectible vinyl culture.
 
Rendered in a timeless black and gold palette, this print evokes the duality of beauty and aggression, sound and silence. Fairey’s blend of ornamental elegance and political critique makes this a thought-provoking and visually stunning addition to any collection.
