Description
This early-1980s silkscreen frame comes from Detroit’s rock-radio scene and is tied to WLLZ 98 FM during Van Halen’s Fair Warning era. The burned design shows the handwritten “fair warning” script and the radioactive hazard symbol used in many WLLZ promo shirts and concert giveaways.
Detroit pushed a heavy, industrial look in the early 80s, and this screen fits that style. It comes from the small print shops that produced shirts for WLLZ remotes, events, and local appearances. The worn corners, reclaimed wood, and ghosted lettering show real shop use. Most screens were washed out or thrown away after a run, so surviving examples are rare.
Fair Warning wasn’t Van Halen’s biggest record, but it remains a favorite among critics, guitar players, and dedicated fans. Eddie Van Halen’s darker and more aggressive tone shaped the album, and Detroit embraced it. This silkscreen is a one-of-a-kind artifact from that moment in the city’s rock history.
