"I created this Holiday version of the Third Eye Open incorporating the portrait I originally made for my Make Art Not War print back during the Iraq War. I created this for my friends and family as a message of peace this holiday season, but I’m releasing a very small number of these to my collectors as a thank you for your support. This print image also includes a third eye blooming like a flower, I believe that what the third eye represents: a dialogue with one’s inner self, higher consciousness, and quest for enlightenment, is essential to achieve peace and harmony. I’ve often used the phrase “eyes open-mind open” and I think “third eye open” is a similar but slightly weightier idea because it addresses looking not only outward to observe, but inward as well." -Shepard FaireyThe Third Eye Open letterpress incorporates the portrait I originally made for my Make Art Not War print back during the Iraq War.

I’m very happy with how this image translated as a letterpress. The debossed impression in the paper adds a subtle, elegant depth to the print.
