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.

RD-357 has taken the familiar form of the Brachiosaurus and layered it with complex patterns and symbols that are intrinsic to the visual language of street pop art. The dinosaur's textured skin becomes a canvas for a dynamic interplay of colors and shapes, with each tag and stroke of paint adding to the narrative that RD-357 constructs. This narrative is one of juxtaposition - the innocence of a child's toy contrasted against graffiti's edgy and often transgressive nature. The Brachiosaurus, a creature from a bygone era, is recontextualized through RD-357's art as a contemporary cultural artifact. By taking an object associated with the past and childhood and merging it with the modern urban art form of graffiti, RD-357 makes a statement about the enduring nature of art, creativity, and expression. The graffiti tags are not just markings; they are the artist's language, speaking to themes of transformation, reinvention, and reclaiming spaces and objects for art.

It symbolizes street pop art's versatility and boundless nature, where any surface can become a masterpiece, and any object can tell a story. RD-357's work challenges the viewer to see beyond the conventional and to appreciate the beauty and complexity that can arise when street art intersects with the objects of our everyday lives. RD-357's contribution to street pop art and graffiti artwork is significant, as he consistently pushes the envelope with each project he undertakes. The Brachiosaurus, once a simple figure meant for play, now carries the weight of artistic innovation and cultural commentary, thanks to the artist's vision and skill. RD-357's artworks, particularly this unique sculpture, resonate with a broad audience, from art collectors to street culture enthusiasts, and inspire new approaches to street pop art.
