Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Egyptian Papyrus Paper by Marwan Shahin Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Size 14x17 Alien Pharaoh on Papyrus Silkscreen That Glows in the Dark in Egyptian African Gold Style Delving into the mystique of street art, one encounters a realm where the grit and glamour of everyday life find an elevated, often incandescent expression. The work of Marwan Shahin stands as an example of this interplay between the real and surreal, and is particularly embodied in the 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition "Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Silkscreen Print." This unique piece of art amalgamates the mysticism of ancient Egypt with an offbeat contemporary perspective, showcasing a dynamic dialogue between past and present, tradition and rebellion, and thus cementing Shahin's position as a prominent figure in pop and street art. The ingenuity of the piece is defined by its striking aesthetics, which take root in its unique physical components. Shahin, a celebrated Egyptian artist, hand-pulls this diamond dust silkscreen print on authentic Egyptian papyrus paper. This choice of material not only pays homage to Shahin's heritage, but also infuses the artwork with a sense of timelessness. The papyrus, resonating with history and authenticity, serves as a canvas for a limited edition series, each piece signed and numbered, asserting its exclusivity and rarity. Drawing upon the aesthetic of African Gold style, the print features an Alien Pharaoh - a potent symbol that intertwines the sacred and profane, the terrestrial and extraterrestrial. This whimsical take on the iconic Pharaoh, a recurring motif in Shahin's work, is further heightened by an unexpected feature - the figure glows in the dark. This quality propels the artwork from the realm of the visually intriguing to the experientially engaging, enabling the artwork to transition and transform according to the play of light and darkness, adding another layer of intrigue and profundity to the piece. True to his reputation as a street artist, Shahin's choice to incorporate glow-in-the-dark elements captures the raw energy of graffiti and street art. These disciplines often thrive in the obscurity of the night, their messages illuminated under the cover of darkness. With this piece, the viewer can experience that same thrill, as the Alien Pharaoh comes alive in darkness, its golden aura casting an ethereal glow that compels one to reconsider what is known and what is yet to be discovered. Limited to only 25 editions, the 14x17 "Alien Hidden Glow in the Dark Papyrus Hand-Pulled Diamond Dust Silkscreen Print" stands as an opulent testament to Shahin's skill, vision, and distinctive artistic voice. It is an amalgamation of art and alchemy, a product of Shahin's explorations of both visual and material textures. The artwork's diamond dust finish not only adds a literal and figurative sparkle, but also enhances the tactile experience of the artwork, enticing the viewer to engage with it beyond mere observation. All these elements come together to create a unique visual journey that reflects Marwan Shahin's talent, vision, and innovative approach to pop and street art. His work speaks volumes about the power of art to transcend time and space, to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary, and to illuminate the darkness with the glow of creativity.

I wanted to give Colonel Jack O'Neil and Dr. Daniel Jackson a glimpse of what awaited them at the other end of the wormhole. The two characters view their journey in different ways. Dr. Jackson's journey is filled with childlike wonder seeing something magnificent and awe-inspiring while Colonel O'Neil bears an atomic bomb capable of producing cataclysmic results. We learn later in the film that the character of Ra is an alien life form who possessed the body of a young boy. I wanted to touch on this and add some tension to the image by showing his glowing blue eyes. The print is 8 colors and features 4 varieties of metallic gold and copper inks. There is also a hidden star chart in the background printed in a shiny black varnish." -Todd Slater

Such is the case with the limited edition gig poster for the event featuring "1919" and "Pelican Tombs" held at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 3rd, 2009. This striking piece of street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of both the bands and the evocative power of graphic design within the realm of music. This limited edition gig poster is more than just a promotional tool; it is a collectible artwork that reflects the vibrancy and raw energy of the musical acts it represents. Created by the artist Justin Anville, the print is a four-color, hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper, a technique that lends the artwork a tactile quality that is both immediate and engaging. The choice of silkscreen printing, a favored method in both street art and pop art for its bold colors and sharp lines, allows the piece to stand out with a visual pop that mirrors the intensity of the live music experience. Visual Elements and Artistic Significance The artwork commands attention with its intricate design and contrasting color palette, which features a dominant red against a backdrop of more subdued tones. At the center, the stylized numerals "1919" are prominently displayed, intertwined with symbolic imagery that suggests a narrative extending beyond the bands' names. This typographic treatment is reminiscent of graffiti art, where letters become an integral part of the visual impact, often carrying meaning in their form as much as in their content. Cultural Imprint of the 2009 Event Poster Limited to a signed and numbered edition, the poster carries with it an aura of exclusivity. Measuring 18x24 inches, it is a sizable piece that was designed to be noticed, to be a talking point, and ultimately, to be remembered. As a piece of memorabilia, it serves as a timestamp, capturing the cultural zeitgeist of the late 2000s Philadelphia music scene, a period marked by a resurgence in indie and alternative genres. The inclusion of the Live Nation brand also signifies the commercial and mainstream acknowledgment of the genres and bands, hinting at their movement from the fringes into the spotlight. The Legacy of Gig Posters in Street Pop Art The significance of gig posters like this one extends beyond the night of the event itself. They are artifacts of cultural history, capturing the essence of musical movements and the artistic styles that accompany them. In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, gig posters are often the crossroads where music and visual art fans meet, share, and appreciate the interplay between these forms of expression. This particular poster, with its bold aesthetic and connection to a specific time and place, is a perfect illustration of how street art and music can come together to create something enduring. In the ever-evolving dialogue between music and visual arts, the 2009 limited edition gig poster for "1919" and "Pelican Tombs" stands as a testament to the power of this collaboration. It is not just a promotional item; it is a snapshot of a scene, a piece of street pop art, and a collectible that holds within its inks and paper the echoes of a night of music and the spirit of its time.
