Don't Be a MFR AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. AP Artist Proof 2015 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Don't Be A Mother Fucker. Don't Be A MOTHER#*X!! R Respect & Justice. The Provocative Appeal of 'Don't Be a MFR' by Shepard Fairey Shepard Fairey's 'Don't Be a MFR AP' is a bold exemplar in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Fairey, an American artist and provocateur born on February 15, 1970, continues to push the boundaries of art and activism. This particular work, part of an artist-proof (AP) series released in 2015, is characteristic of Fairey's approach to engaging with cultural and societal themes through his art. The hand-pulled 5-color silkscreen print on cream speckle tone paper echoes Fairey's distinctive aesthetic while carrying a strong message of respect and justice. Symbolism and Messaging in 'Don't Be a MFR' The artwork's title, 'Don't Be a MFR,' captures the eye with its intentional censoring, a tactic that allows for a broad interpretation and stirs curiosity. Within the limited edition series of 550, each piece sized at 18x24 inches, Fairey's work resonates with the power of command and the gravity of a public service announcement. The print is decorated with the words' Respect & Justice,' a direct call to action central to much of Fairey's oeuvre. Fairey employs symbols like the skull enveloped in a flower, a duality that speaks to the juxtaposition of life and death, growth and decay, reinforcing the message of the consequences of one's actions. The overall design is reminiscent of emblems and seals, often associated with authority and institutions, which Fairey repurposes to deliver his socio-political commentary. The choice of bold, angular graphics, in conjunction with the roundness of the emblematic seal, displays the tension between disruption and order, a recurrent theme in street pop art. Impact on Street Pop Art and Cultural Discourse The 'Don't Be a MFR' series exemplifies the potential of street pop art to serve as a medium for societal reflection and critique. The use of a public vernacular and the direct address to the viewer exemplify Fairey's commitment to making art accessible and demanding attention. Each print in the series, bearing Fairey's signature, is a testament to the belief that art should not shy away from controversy but rather confront and challenge the viewer. This piece, in particular, adds to the rich tapestry of graffiti artwork that has historically been used to communicate messages to a broad audience, often bypassing traditional media and institutional spaces. Fairey's work is a modern-day manifestation of this tradition, utilizing the urban canvas to prompt a public introspection on issues of respect and justice. The artwork serves not just as a visual spectacle but as a catalyst for conversation and, ideally, for action. Shepard Fairey and the Continuum of Artistic Activism Shepard Fairey's 'Don't Be a MFR' continues the artist's enduring legacy in art and activism. Residing in Los Angeles, California, Fairey remains a significant influence, harnessing the vibrancy of street pop art to voice his dissent and mobilize public sentiment. His work is anchored in the belief that art is a powerful change agent capable of inspiring individuals to think critically about the world around them. This particular silkscreen print carries the OBEY logo, an integral aspect of Fairey's brand, which doubles as a command and a critique of authoritarian tendencies. The artwork's appeal lies in its ability to be aggressive and reflective at once, pushing observers to consider their role in maintaining or disrupting social justice. Fairey's dedication to the intersection of art and societal issues solidifies his position as an artist and a significant cultural instigator in contemporary times.

Timeless Skull Metallic- Gold Shadow Limited Edition Gold Metallic Ink on Shadow Metallic Paper by Katsu Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 75 Katsu Artwork Size 25x39. I was scuffing On the Lower and middle Of the Paper. "Skulls are the universal image for rebellion; Pirate flags use them as the ultimate offense, cannibals decorate their camps with them, and the skull represents how I live my life. The single-stroke skull came out of my desire to tag faster. As a young tagger, I became fascinated with the practicality of tagging different designs and shapes. I wanted to engineer an attractive design from an artistic standpoint and from the idea of efficiency. The skull is how I condemn surfaces, structures, how I condemn the public space." - KATSU Katsu's Affinity for the Skull Motif Skulls have long been a symbol of rebellion and nonconformity in various subcultures, and in the realm of street art, they hold a particularly potent significance. The skull is not just a morbid fascination but a statement, a form of resistance, and for the street artist Katsu, it is a canvas of condemnation and a mark of efficiency. This piece delves into the significance of Katsu's limited edition gold metallic ink on shadow metallic paper artwork and its place in contemporary street art. Katsu's little edition work, a striking fusion of gold metallic ink on shadow metallic paper, presents a skull in a visually arresting and thematically rich way. With only 75 pieces created, the exclusivity of the artwork amplifies its impact on modern pop art. Katsu's approach to the skull is deeply rooted in his identity as a street artist. He recognizes the skull as a universal emblem of defiance, reminiscent of pirate flags and tribal decorations. His interpretation, however, is unique in its simplicity and speed. The single-stroke skull that characterizes Katsu's work emerged from a youthful fascination with the efficiency of tagging. This desire to create swiftly without sacrificing aesthetic appeal has led to a minimalist yet powerful representation of the skull. The Impact of Katsu's Work on Public Spaces Katsu sees his skulls as more than just art; they are a statement against the structures and surfaces they adorn. By placing his work in public spaces, Katsu engages in a dialogue with the viewer, often without their consent. This act of 'condemning' public spaces is a form of social commentary and a challenge to the norms that govern our visual landscape. In doing so, Katsu aligns with the core tenets of street art: accessibility, anonymity, and transience. His skulls are not meant to be preserved in galleries but experienced in the wild, where they can confront and provoke thought. The technical aspects of Katsu's work are as fascinating as the ideological. Using gold metallic ink on shadow metallic paper is a deliberate choice that plays with light and perspective. The reflective quality of the gold ink catches the viewer's eye, while the shadowy backdrop adds depth, making the skull appear to emerge from the darkness. The contrast symbolizes the interplay between life and death, presence and absence. Katsu's limited edition pieces are a testament to his mastery of materials and ability to imbue a static image with a sense of life and motion. Katsu's Legacy and Influence on Modern Pop Art Katsu's skulls are more than a personal signature; they are a part of the larger narrative of street art's evolution. By adopting a symbol with history and giving it a modern twist, Katsu positions himself within a lineage of artists who use the urban landscape as their canvas. His work bridges graffiti's raw, gritty beginnings and the polished, thought-provoking installations of contemporary street art. As such, Katsu's skulls are not just art pieces; they are cultural artifacts that capture the zeitgeist of a movement that continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of public art. In the ever-evolving world of street art, Katsu's metallic skulls stand as a testament to the power of simplicity and the enduring allure of rebellion. Through a single stroke, Katsu conveys a narrative of defiance and a challenge to the viewer, making his limited edition series a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts of modern pop art. His work remains a crucial point of reference for understanding the dynamics of street art and its unyielding quest to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

Lion Mandala Limited Edition 2-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print with Spot UV Layer on 130lb French Black Licorice Paper by Chris Saunders Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2015 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x24 Custom Framed in Distressed Gold Frame. "This piece was born from the inspiration of a personal struggle I was experiencing with overcoming certain obstacles in my life surrounding addiction. Not just chemical addiction, but addictive thoughts and behaviors that didn't serve my highest good. The lion archetype visited me in my dreams during this time of struggle with addiction. I dreamt I was a lion running with full force through a dense jungle. I had a thick rope in my mouth and as I ran through this jungle people were fighting to grab the free sides of the rope to try and slow me down from running so fast. It was getting snagged and I felt extreme pain in my body. The pain grew to the point my body caught on fire, I could feel my flesh searing. I remember fighting through it and eventually, the pain went away and I kept running forward. Pretty Intense! So I combined my vision of the lion with the mandala to mirror a frequency of courage, strength, and power to its the viewer and the space that it is hung in." - Chris Saunders

Home Sick Copper HPM Collage Silkscreen Print by MCXT- Monica Canilao x Xara Thustra Screen Print on 290gsm Hand-Stained Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper & Metallic Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2015 Signed & Numbered Screen Print, Collage & Thread HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 12x24 on 290gsm Hand-Stained Coventry Rag Paper Heavyweight metallic paper is sewn to the bottom section of each print. "Home Sick Copper HPM Collage Silkscreen Print" by MCXT, a collaboration between Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, is a testament to the rich, multilayered dialogue of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. This limited edition artwork, meticulously crafted on hand-stained Coventry Rag fine art paper with metallic paper sewn onto the bottom, showcases the convergence of various artistic disciplines that define the work of these contemporary artists. Craftsmanship in 'Home Sick Copper HPM' The craftsmanship in "Home Sick Copper HPM" is immediately evident. Choosing 290gsm Coventry Rag paper as the foundation speaks to the artists' dedication to quality and durability. This heavyweight paper, known for its ability to absorb ink and preserve the richness of color, provides a luxurious backdrop for the screen print and collage elements that adorn its surface. The hand-staining of the paper adds a unique, tactile quality to each print, ensuring that no two pieces in the edition are precisely alike. Adding heavyweight metallic paper, sewn rather than glued, is a nod to traditional crafts and the handmade. This technique of sewing paper into the artwork is a physical manifestation of the themes of home and connectivity central to the piece. The thread becomes a metaphor for the bonds that tie us to places and people, while sewing is a deeply personal, almost intimate gesture that imbues the work with a sense of care and attention. Aesthetic and Symbolism Aesthetically, "Home Sick Copper HPM" is a visual symphony of symbols and forms that dance across the paper. The architectural elements, reminiscent of fantastical structures, rise from the print as monuments to imagination and memory. Including eyes, stars, and other iconography lends a mystical air to the composition, suggesting a personal and archetypal narrative. The symbolic language employed by Canilao and Thustra invites interpretation, encouraging the viewer to reflect on notions of home—what it means to be rooted, what it means to be disconnected, and the universal longing for belonging. In this sense, the artwork transcends its material form to become a vessel for shared human experiences, much like the best of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, which often serves as a mirror reflecting the viewer's thoughts and feelings. Reflection of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork "Home Sick Copper HPM" reflects the ethos of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork in its accessibility and blend of high and low art techniques. The limited edition nature of the print does not detract from its approachability; instead, it enhances the value of each piece as a collector's item while still embodying the democratic spirit of street art. The work intersects acceptable art practices and street art's rebellious, DIY culture, bridging the gallery and the urban landscape. The collaboration between Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra celebrates the collaborative spirit often found in street art culture. By joining forces, the artists combine their unique visions and skills to create something neither could achieve alone. This partnership and the resulting artwork are a powerful reminder of the collaborative potential within the art world, echoing the community-driven nature of street art projects. "Home Sick Copper HPM Collage Silkscreen Print" by MCXT is a standout piece that captures the imagination and speaks to the heart. It is a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring appeal of art that bridges the personal with the universal. As an object of art, it is a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a lovingly crafted work that bears the unmistakable mark of artists deeply engaged with their craft and message.

Let Love In HPM Unique Collage Print by MCXT- Monica Canilao x Xara Thustra 8-Color Screen Print on Recycled Upcycled Paper & Fabric Textile Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Screen Print, Collage, Gouache, Cloth & Thread HPM Embellished Limited Edition of 30 Artwork Size 9.5x25 on Recycled Upcycled Paper, Mixed Media & Fabric Textile. The Essence of Mixed Media in Street Pop Art Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, known for their vibrant contributions to street art and pop culture visuals, have embraced mixed media's eclecticism to its fullest. The artwork is a culmination of various recycled papers, thread, trim, fabric, pink vinyl, acrylic paint, silk screen ink, gouache, and other mixed media, all coming together to create a textural symphony that is as much about the medium as it is about the message. The "Let Love In HPM Unique Collage Print" by the collaborative artistic duo MCXT, which comprises Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra, is a riveting piece of art that stands at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. This unique artwork is part of a limited edition series, with only 30 pieces created, each bearing its distinct characteristics due to the handcrafted nature of the prints. Exclusivity and Technique Each print in the series has been treated with an 8-color screen printing process, laying the foundation for the following intricate collage work. After the initial printing, the artists have taken to collaging, sewing, and hand painting on each print, ensuring that every print is unique. This technique not only underscores the exclusivity of each piece but also reflects the street art ethos of creating something unique and personal, a direct contrast to the mass-produced images that often characterize the consumer culture critiqued by pop art. Dimensions and Physicality The tangible aspect of the artwork is notable, with its dimensions stretching to 9.5x25 inches. Using recycled and upcycled materials is not just an artistic choice but also a statement on sustainability and the reusability of often discarded materials. The incorporation of cloth and thread adds a dimension of domesticity and handiwork, which contrasts with graffiti art's traditionally masculine and urban connotations, thus offering a commentary on gender roles within the art world and beyond. Collaborative Synergy The collaboration between Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra melds minds and styles, which is evident in the work. Canilao's background in creating detailed, intricate worlds full of personal symbolism complements Thustra's bold, graphic approach, which often includes textual elements and a clear, strong message. The synthesis of these two approaches results in a piece that is layered not just in its physical makeup but also in its conceptual depth. Cultural and Artistic Significance "Let Love In HPM Unique Collage Print" is a testament to the power of street pop art and graffiti artwork to comment on and interact with the broader cultural discourse. With its handcrafted individuality, the artwork challenges the notion of art as a commodity and reasserts it as a means of personal expression and social commentary. It's a celebration of the DIY ethos and the cultural significance of street art as a form of public dialogue and resistance. This limited edition artwork by MCXT is a powerful piece that captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti through its use of mixed media, its handcrafted nature, and collaborative spirit. The artwork serves as both a visual feast and a sociocultural commentary, bridging the worlds of fine art, street aesthetics, and environmental consciousness.
