I designed the N*E*R*D logo for their first album in 2001 and I was excited to do it, both because I liked the music they shared with me a lot, but also because I was already a fan of what Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes were doing with their hip-hop production work. Since then, Pharrell has proved to be a major force culturally as a member of N*E*R*D, as a solo artist, as a producer for other artists, and as a fashion designer. I was excited when he and his team asked me to collaborate on a piece of art for a limited number of t-shirts and posters for ComplexCon. We are donating proceeds of the print and t-shirt sales to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Check it out and drop by Obey Clothing’s booth at ComplexCon! – Shepard
