A 15-story portrait of Johnny Cash by Shepard Fairey in downtown Sacramento. Painted for 2018’s edition of Wide Open Walls, curated by Branded Arts. The image was a collaboration with the estate of Jim Marshall for Fairey's American Civics project, on the 50th anniversary of Cash’s famous Folsom Prison performance. The portrait looks in the direction towards Folsom Prison and is intended both as a tribute to The Man In Black and as a commentary on incarceration reform, a cause he was passionate about.

The Folsom Prison Blues. #Photography905 #NewYork #BlackAndWhite #UrbanJungle #JohnnyCash #LosTigresDelNorte #FolsomPrison . . . Cuando era niño Mi madre me decía Hijo no juegues con las armas Y me dio su bendición El tren viene llegando Ya lo puedo escuchar No sé desde cuándo He visto el sol brillar Porque sigo atrapado Viendo la vida pasar en la prisión Avanzan los años Y el tren sigue su marcha a San Antón Cuando era un chiquillo Mi madre me decía Las armas, hijo mío No las quiero para ti Pero le disparé a un hombre en Reno Para verlo morir Y el sonido del disparo en mi cabeza Todavía sigue aquí Hoy pienso en esa gente Que va en ese vagón Gastando su dinero En lujo y diversión Eso es lo que me tortura Saber que siguen su rumbo mientras yo Sigo en La Prisión De Folsom Sin siquiera ver el sol Aquí voy terminando Con gran desilusión Yo sé que no hay espacio Para mí en ese vagón Porque ya tengo asumido Que jamás voy a salir de esta prisión Y ese triste silbido Nunca lo olvidaré Nunca lo olvidaré (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Hxzv2jfcq/?igshid=4eq83aadatlf

"We're doing mighty fine I do suppose, In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought to be a man in black." In Loving Remembrance- Johnny Cash. September 12, 2003.

“JOHNNY CASH”
by Shepard Fairey
Interested in performing at prisons since the 1950s Johnny Cash performed at San Quentin in 1958 and a decade later two performances at Folsom provided the tracks for a hit live album. On the 50th anniversary of the release of “Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison” street artists, designer, and social activist Shepard Fairey, aka Obey Giant, remembered the landmark album just a few miles down the road in Sacramento for Wide Open Walls 2018. Fairey calls the work, on the back of the Residence Inn at 15th and L Streets, his most technically ambitious ever, but the result is spectacular. With 2.3 million people currently siting in US prisons, and a disproportionate number of those poor people of color, Fairey hopes the work furthers the cause of much needed prison reform and toward that end he has committed a portion of the proceeds of a Johnny Cash print to the national bipartisan initiative @cut50. @obeygiant @wideopenwalls @johnnycash @forjohnnycash @residenceinndwntnsac

Had my first flight lesson today (finally!). I've wanted to learn to fly for over a decade and this was the first step. Holy cow...I've done some exhilarating things before but this tops it all. I almost cried with sheer joy and excitement flying by myself (with a killer instructor who did take off/landings and talked me through EVERYTHING). 🛩️ I flew over #folsomprison and #folsomlake & saw the snowy #sierramountains from 4k feet and practiced turning on a runway. . I'm literally going to be unbearable to be around for a while because this is all I wanna do now. I was in a #cessna182 and will do a smaller plane for future stuff but boy did I feel spoiled! ♥️ Big thank you to @sunshineflyers for the greatest day ever. . . #sunshineflyers #sacramento #norcal #California #californiaadventure #planes #aviation #thankful #bestday #instagood #sundayfunday (at Sunshine Flyers) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWjgku0vliw/?utm_medium=tumblr
