New Shepard Fairey Print Release PETER TOSH: “LEGALIZE IT<\/strong>” in collaboration with photographer Kate Simon, available Thursday, October 17th @ 10 AM PT at https:\/\/store.obeygiant.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“October 19 would be Peter Tosh\u2019s 80th birthday\u00a0were he still alive. Tosh is best known as the co-founder of the Wailers along with Bob Marley and Bunny Livingston, with whom he had several ska hits and pioneered the sound of reggae. It was Tosh, in fact, who taught Bob Marley to play guitar. Tosh and Marley co-wrote Wailers classics like \u201cGet Up Stand Up\u201d and \u201c400 Years.\u201d\u00a0After leaving the Wailers in 1974, Tosh released his debut\u00a0solo\u00a0album \u201cLegalize It\u201d in 1976, which sold well and became a cultural touchstone for the cannabis legalization movement (a movement I\u2019ve agreed with for many years and for many reasons). Tosh\u2019s solo output continued to make waves with albums like \u201cEqual Rights” and \u201cBush Doctor\u201d, which included a collaboration with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of\u00a0The Rolling Stones and introduced Tosh to an even larger audience. I am very fortunate to collaborate once again with photographer\u00a0Kate Simon on this portrait of Tosh from 1976 around the time “Legalize It” was released and a significant moment in Tosh\u2019s career. Read what Kate has to say about working with Tosh…”

“Peter Tosh was one of the most politically aware musical\u00a0artists ever to walk the earth. He was bold and forthright in speaking out against injustice and fearless in standing against oppression. In\u00a0the public eye he stood tall, radiating an uncompromising force.\u00a0Those who knew him intimately, however, in unguarded moments experienced his human warmth\u00a0and humor. He was a great photo subject. I didn\u2019t find him intimidating in spite of his height and presence, but rather charismatic with this incredible speaking voice. I loved taking pictures of him doing karate, \u201creasoning,\u201d and smoking herb at Tommy Cowan\u2019s yard. I photographed Peter many times over the years both onstage and off, including at the One Love Peace Concert where he was riveting. A lion\u2019s heart!”
