Shepard Fairey To Debut Diamond Dust Prints at The, by AFR1KA on Jan 24, 2013 4:45:04 GMT 1, All the info on the Obey site but if you are lazy here it is:
-----------------------------
NEW DIAMOND DUST PRINT SERIESโฆ UNVEILS TONIGHT AT THE LA ART SHOW!
This new series of prints are Shepard Faireyโs first use of diamond dust printing. The series is comprised of 4 stunning prints of floral ornament abstraction utilizing white and black diamond dust. The new medium, diamond dust, adhered to the surface of the screen prints is a shimmering and elegant material. Perhaps most famously used by Andy Warhol, who understood perfectly how to convey a message, Diamond Dust was used to add glamour, transforming ordinary images into coveted objects . The material aligns with Shepardโs work and interest in the seduction of advertising and consumerism. Diamond Dust, literally and metaphorically is superficial, applied to the surface of the print, the luminous effect is both beautiful and alluring.
For more information or to purchase, please stop by Paul Stolper Gallery at the 2013 LA Art Show January 23 โ 27; booth # 724 or contact Paul Stopler Gallery directly.
(Please note, this series is ONLY available via Paul Stolper Gallery).

wasn't there a collab at the jamie reid show, a black on black GSTQ with diamond dust?
think it was a canvas though..

I'm a bit surprised that Shep has decided use this material with all the pain and suffering that comes along with the mining of these rocks.

You only ever hear of the negativesin the news, Big corporations have way to much to loose to not to be 100% sure where there stones come from. likely all the conflict rocks are sold on street corners to tourists.

Definitely...just cheap ground glass. (Some artist use ground crystal glass...but not many!) The paper will cost more than the "diamond dust" - Just a clever advertising trick.

Shows how much I know. I assumed it was the waste from the diamond cutting process. If it is fake that is great.

the leftovers from the diamonds cutting process are usually used as an abrasive, or for other industrial tools such as diamond blades, drills, etc.

How big are they and are they signed?

Shepard Fairey To Debut Diamond Dust Prints at The, by Deleted on Jan 24, 2013 22:14:33 GMT 1, I'm surprised by how much I like these. They are great. The black field looks awesome with the diamond dust. They are a step up from his large format and still more affordable than any of his "fine art" stuff.
