Question: What is this poster?

What is this poster? Who made it? Can I buy a print somewhere?

I found this poster up inside a fence at on Grand St. between 6th Ave & Varick in Manhattan. I like it. Anybody have any information about it whatsoever?

I couldn't get any closer to get a better photo.

Is one on Shepard Fairy's new posters?

Perhaps from the same set as this?

One of Fairey's old ones, actually: Toxicity Inspector

(By "old" I mean it's already in his archives, therefore probably not for sale.)

Just to confirm what's been said, it's Shepard Fairey's Toxicity Inspector. It was sold as a 18x24 screenprint (on Obey Giant) in a run of 350 in June this year. Copies appear occasionally on eBay for around $115.

His roots are in street and graffiti art, and he still posts his stuff on the streets of major cities. You can see the rest of Fairey's cannon on Expressobeans. He releases new prints every week or so on his website.
