In 2012, RD-357 embarked on a project that would further cement his reputation as a pioneer in the field, taking on the challenge of transforming a plastic dinosaur sculpture into a piece of contemporary art. The result was the "Graffiti Tagged Brachiosaurus," a unique synthesis of playful nostalgia and the gritty aesthetic of street art, encapsulating the essence of RD-357's creative vision. This artwork is a striking example of how RD-357 repurposes and reimagines found objects, such as a reclaimed toy from his child's collection, and imbues them with new life through street art. Once a simple plastic figure, the Brachiosaurus stands redefined by the bold graffiti tags and vibrant splashes of spray paint and acrylic. At 9.5x3 inches, the sculpture is modest in size but grand in its artistic statement, signed by the artist himself, serving as a hallmark of authenticity and a personal touch from the artist's own life.
