Zoolander Blue Steel

2016. Edition of 450 18” x 24” (46 x 61cm) Screen-print on cream paper Signed and numbered in pencil “Zoolander is one of my favorite movies, so I was really excited when I heard that a sequel was in the works! I have met Ben Stiller a few times and let him know how much I love Zoolander. I guess flattery occasionally gets you somewhere, because I was asked to do a Derek Zoolander t-shirt graphic to be used in a scene in Zoolander No. 2! Of course I got to work immediately trying to illustrate a ridiculously good-looking ridiculous portrait of Derek. The Zoolander team liked my t-shirt design enough to ask me to do some more portraits of Derek for the Blu-ray release of the original Zoolander film! I gladly accepted with one condition… that I be allowed to make a limited edition screen-printed poster of the portrait. I asked Derek Zoolander what he thought of the print, and he was kind enough to share some words of wisdom.” – Shepard “I have been a huge fan of Shepherd Fairy since
