What is Shepard Fairey’s piece called “Good To See You”?

Artist Statement

My good friend Henry Rollins is on his "Good to See You" spoken word tour that kicked off earlier this year. I've collaborated with Henry many times. I'm constantly in awe and impressed by him. He is the hardest working guy I know and stays up on social and political issues. I'm excited that he is on the road again and honored to design his 2022 tour art. The posters are available to purchase on his tour if you see him on the upcoming dates, signed by Henry and me. A limited number of prints will also be on my website this Thursday, May 5th at 10 AM PT. Check it out! – Shepard Good To See You. 18 x 24 inches. Screen print on thick cream Speckletone paper. Signed by Henry Rollins and Shepard Fairey. Limited numbered edition of 250. $70.

Summary

Good To See You is a 2022 screen print by Shepard Fairey, published by Obey Giant, measuring 18 x 24 inches on thick cream Speckletone paper in a limited numbered edition of 250 at $70. Fairey designed the tour art for Henry Rollins' 2022 "Good to See You" spoken word tour. The print is signed by both Henry Rollins and Shepard Fairey. A portion of the edition was available on Rollins' tour dates, with a limited number released through Fairey's website. The work continues Fairey's long collaborative history with Rollins.

Why It Matters

Good To See You is tour art Fairey created for Henry Rollins' 2022 spoken word tour, extending a long-running collaboration between two figures rooted in American punk and counterculture. With a relatively small edition of 250, it is among the more limited prints in this group, and its dual signature from Rollins and Fairey documents a direct partnership rather than a one-sided tribute. The work's function as official tour merchandise gives it a specific cultural use and provenance: copies were available at Rollins' live dates as well as through Fairey's website. For collectors, the appeal combines Fairey's graphic design with Rollins' standing as a punk icon, spoken-word artist, and outspoken commentator on social and political issues, whom Fairey describes as the hardest-working person he knows. The print sits at the meeting point of music, counterculture, and collaboration, and its smaller edition size adds a degree of scarcity relative to Fairey's typical runs. It rewards collectors who follow his collaborations with counterculture figures and who value works tied to specific live events and the documented relationship between artist and subject.

Collector Perspective

This appeals to collectors of Fairey's collaboration and counterculture prints and to Henry Rollins fans drawn to its function as official 2022 tour art. The dual signature from Rollins and Fairey, plus the smaller edition of 250, will attract buyers who value documented collaboration and relative scarcity within Fairey's catalog. At 18 x 24 inches, it displays well alongside other music and counterculture prints. It fits a collection focused on Fairey's collaborations with cultural figures and pairs naturally with his other tour and music-adjacent works, offering a more limited piece tied to a specific live tour and a long-standing creative partnership.

Historical Context

Good To See You belongs to Fairey's collaboration and counterculture output, published by Obey Giant in 2022 as the official art for Henry Rollins' "Good to See You" spoken word tour. Fairey notes he has collaborated with Rollins many times, situating this print within a sustained creative relationship rather than a single commission. The work's dual role as tour merchandise and a limited collector print reflects Fairey's practice of producing event-tied art that circulates both at live dates and through his own channels. Its smaller edition of 250 distinguishes it within his 2022 releases, and the subject's standing as a punk and spoken-word figure aligns it with Fairey's broader engagement with counterculture icons.
