I had a great time in Vancouver last week! I completed my “Earth Justice” mural, celebrated at the OBEY Clothing pop-up with the posse, DJ’ed, and attended the opening of my 30th-anniversary show, “Facing the Giant: Three Decades of Dissent” at BAF Gallery. Here are a few shots and footage from the reception! Thanks to everyone who came out to support, along with my team at Obey Clothing, Burrard Arts and Ultra Violet Arts for having me, the mural team for the support, and Zane Meyer from Chop ’em Down Films & Jon Furlong for documenting. – Shepard
