Styles Change Style Endures- Magenta 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 14.5 inches by 19 inches Edition of 115 June 18, 2020 Skateboarding saved my life! As both an activity and culture, skateboarding blew the doors open for me to see how creativity, fearlessness, independence, and style could let me paint my own story. To paraphrase Charles Bukowski, everything, worth saying or doing, dull or dangerous, is better with style. I learned the importance of style from skateboarding but I apply style to my art and pretty much anything else I can. My friend Blaize Blouin, the only pro skater from Charleston, S.C., where I grew up, used to say “trendy tricks come and go, but the need for style is constant”. When I picked up Hugh Holland’s Silver Skate 70’s book I was enthralled by all of the photos, but especially gripped by the shot of an unknown kid doing a stylish backside carve at the Kenter Canyon School banks in 1976. -Shepard Fairey

The Swan Nurse Letterpress Print by Camille Rose Garcia Limited Edition 1-Color on Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 8x10 Letterpress Print Art Printmas 2020 of a Creapy Stylized Swan Bird Monster Dressed as a Nurse. The Swan Nurse Letterpress Print by Camille Rose Garcia The Swan Nurse letterpress print by Camille Rose Garcia is a hauntingly whimsical piece that combines surrealism with Street Pop Art’s bold and provocative aesthetic. Released in 2020 as part of the Art Printmas series, this 8x10 work of art is printed on deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper, emphasizing the artisanal quality of the print. The image features a stylized swan, grotesquely reimagined as a sinister nurse, complete with exaggerated features, gothic undertones, and a bow-tied costume. Signed and numbered in a limited edition of 100, this print exemplifies Garcia’s ability to craft deeply engaging narratives through her unique artistic vision. Camille Rose Garcia: A Visionary in Pop Surrealism Camille Rose Garcia is renowned for her ability to blend dark themes with playful imagery, creating pieces that invite both curiosity and introspection. Born in 1970 in Los Angeles, her work draws inspiration from vintage cartoons, dystopian literature, and surrealist art movements. Through her distinct style, Garcia often critiques consumerism, environmental degradation, and societal constructs, using fantastical characters and dreamlike settings to present her commentary. The Swan Nurse is a striking example of Garcia’s storytelling prowess. The swan, often associated with elegance and beauty, is here transformed into a macabre figure with sharp features, exaggerated proportions, and a menacing gaze. The nurse costume, complete with a hat bearing a medical cross, adds an eerie layer of ambiguity to the piece, leaving viewers to question its narrative. This juxtaposition of innocence and menace is a hallmark of Garcia’s work, emphasizing her ability to challenge traditional interpretations of beauty and morality. The Craftsmanship of Letterpress Printing The letterpress printing technique employed in The Swan Nurse adds a tactile richness and vintage charm to the artwork. By pressing ink into the deckled edges of the 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper, this traditional method creates a textured, embossed finish that enhances the intricate details of the illustration. The single-color palette, rendered in deep black ink, amplifies the stark contrasts and dramatic linework, allowing the swan’s unsettling expression to dominate the composition. The choice of deckled paper adds an artisanal feel to the print, further connecting it to the handmade traditions of Street Pop Art. This emphasis on craftsmanship aligns with Garcia’s ethos of elevating her fantastical creations into timeless works of art that merge classic techniques with modern themes. The Swan Nurse as a Statement of Street Pop Art The Swan Nurse is a compelling representation of Street Pop Art, using a surreal and slightly grotesque character to convey themes of transformation, authority, and the uncanny. By reimagining the swan—a symbol of grace and purity—as a creepy nurse, Garcia subverts expectations, drawing viewers into a world where beauty and menace coexist. The work’s playful yet unsettling aesthetic is a hallmark of Street Pop Art’s ability to engage and provoke thought. This limited-edition print is not just a piece of art; it is a narrative-rich creation that invites the audience to explore its layers of meaning. Its 8x10 size and exclusive run of 100 make it an ideal collectible for enthusiasts of Camille Rose Garcia’s work and those who appreciate the intersection of fine art and urban commentary. The Swan Nurse exemplifies Garcia’s mastery in combining craftsmanship, narrative, and visual impact, solidifying its place as a standout piece in contemporary Street Pop Art.

These Violent Delights Giclee Print by Dave Pollot Artwork Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 15 Artwork Size 24x16.5 Vinatge Italian City on Riverway Populated By Workers From Westworld TV Show Dave Pollot's "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a compelling piece of limited edition giclee print artwork that has found its grounding in the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art. Released in 2020, this stunning piece is a testament to Pollot's unparalleled ability to repurpose, reimagine, and recontextualize traditional art forms into contemporary and engaging works. As part of an exclusive series, only 10 signed and numbered copies of this masterpiece exist, each meticulously produced on fine art paper to ensure longevity and vibrancy of color. Measuring 8x10 inches, with a mat that extends the dimensions to 11x14 inches, "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a captivating representation of a Renaissance man in vintage attire. The main subject, distinguished and posed as a gentleman of a bygone era, sports a curious addition that beautifully exemplifies Pollot's creative aesthetic — a graphic of a wolf howling at the moon. This piece seamlessly integrates aspects of modern imagery with classical portraiture, resulting in a unique fusion that embodies the spirit of graffiti pop and street art. In the realm of pop art, Pollot's piece is a nod to the repetition and mass production synonymous with the movement. By embedding modern iconography into a traditional portrait, the artist creatively merges past and present, thereby urging viewers to explore the ubiquitous influence of pop culture on societal perception. The wolf, a symbol often found in street and graffiti art, adds an element of rawness and organic spirit to the otherwise refined and polished depiction of the gentleman. Street art, often reflective of social and cultural expressions, finds its representation in the artwork as well. Pollot's rendering of the gentleman is symbolic of the adaptability and fluidity of street art, with its roots firmly set in the culture of the streets but its reach extending far beyond. The unorthodox incorporation of a graffiti-style wolf into a classical portrait suggests a strong link to street culture, bridging the gap between fine art and popular expressions of creativity. Graffiti art, traditionally associated with rebellion and counterculture, takes on a new form in "Old Is New Is Old Again." The howling wolf, often used in graffiti as a signifier of freedom and independence, has been seamlessly incorporated into the artwork. Its presence offers a stark contrast to the gentleman's attire, suggesting a dichotomy between societal norms and the desire for personal freedom and expression. Through this piece, Dave Pollot has remarkably bridged the gap between varying art forms and historical periods, crafting a timeless piece that speaks volumes of his understanding of art and culture. "Old Is New Is Old Again" is a perfect example of Pollot's ability to draw from diverse artistic movements and social themes, creating a work that resonates with the complexity and diversity of the human experience. In essence, this piece serves as a visual dialogue between different eras and artistic styles, proving that in the realm of art, the old and the new can coexist in the most harmonious and visually striking ways.

This Way Up Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Mailing Glosse Arrow Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x6 Marker Tagged on Mail Service Up Arrow Label Sticker. Exact Sticker May Slightly Vary From Image. Signature Styles and Symbolism within the Graffiti Movement Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have evolved into prominent visual languages of urban culture, often conveying potent messages of social and political dissent. Within this context, the original tag art by the American graffiti artist Saber, precisely his "This Way Up Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker," epitomizes the dynamic intersection between everyday materials and artistic expression. Known for his influential role in the graffiti community, Saber, whose real name is Ryan Weston Shook, has crafted an impactful career that extends beyond the streets and into the gallery spaces. Saber's work on the "This Way Up Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker" is a testament to street art's raw energy and spontaneity. Using a familiar mailing gloss arrow sticker as his canvas, Saber transforms an object of mundane utility into a vibrant piece of art. The choice of material is not incidental; it speaks to the graffiti tradition of appropriating public spaces and objects for personal expression. Typically signifying direction and purpose, the arrow is recontextualized here to direct attention to the overlooked surfaces of urban environments that become the graffiti artist's domain. The bold use of orange and the confident strokes of the marker creates a striking contrast, emphasizing the piece's visual impact. Saber's gestural lines, layered and overlapping, defy the simplicity of the sticker's original purpose. This interplay of color and form is characteristic of Street Pop Art, where the vibrancy of popular culture is distilled into visual snippets that capture the viewer's attention. The year 2020, when this piece was created, saw a resurgence in graffiti art's relevance, mirroring a time of social upheaval and the search for new means of expression. Saber's "This Way Up Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker" aligns with the historical ethos of graffiti as a form of resistance and identity. By signing the artwork, the artist asserts ownership and authenticity, a bold claim in the often anonymous world of street art. Graffiti Artwork, traditionally seen as vandalism, has gained recognition in the art world, blurring the lines between high art and street culture. Saber's work, much like that of his predecessors and contemporaries, challenges preconceived notions of what constitutes art and who is deemed an artist. The permanence of the marker on the gloss arrow sticker symbolizes the lasting impact of graffiti culture, an indelible mark on the face of contemporary art history. The "This Way Up Orange Slap-Up Label Sticker" by Saber is more than a mere piece of original permanent marker art. It reflects the artist's American heritage, a snapshot of the year 2020, and a bold statement within the Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork movement. Saber, who remains a pivotal figure in the graffiti world, continues to inspire and provoke, ensuring that his art remains a part of the urban landscape as the streets themselves.

This Way Up Red White Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Mailing Glossy Arrow Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 4x6 Marker Tagged on Mail Service Up Arrow Label Sticker. Street Pop Art: The Bold Language of Our Cities Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have always been visual synonyms for rebellion and the quest for identity within the urban landscape. Saber, an American graffiti artist, Ryan Weston Shook, has contributed significantly to this vibrant urban tapestry. His "This Way Up Red White Slap-Up Label Sticker" is a stunning example of how the mundane can be metamorphosed into something extraordinary. These original permanent marker art drawings on mailing gloss arrow stickers represent a unique fusion of street art and pop art sensibilities, manifesting as modern street artwork that captures the pulse of the times. Saber's Artistic Expression Through Stickers Saber's choice of medium, the mailing gloss arrow sticker, is deeply emblematic of the graffiti artist's modus operandi – to create art with whatever tools are available. The "Up Arrow," a universal symbol for direction and order, is subverted by Saber's chaotic and vibrant tag. The red and white background of the sticker provides a stark canvas for the fluidity of Saber's lines, which are applied with confidence and a sense of immediacy often found in street art. The artwork's creation in 2020, a year of significant global unrest and calls for change, aligns it with graffiti's tradition of echoing society's voice. Each 4x6 sticker, though similar in style, carries its unique variance, emphasizing the personalized nature of graffiti art. Graffiti Artwork: A Reflection of Contemporary Culture Saber's work is not just a personal tag but a narrative in Street Pop Art that speaks to a broader audience. By tagging a mail service sticker, an item designed to be transient and discarded, Saber challenges the notions of permanence and value in art. This signed original slap-up graffiti art tag represents the artist's skill in creating powerful messages within small formats. Graffiti has often been transient as a medium, but artists like Saber have worked to cement its place in the annals of art history. The pieces, vibrant and unapologetic, are a direct commentary on the state of the world as seen through the eyes of the graffiti community. In each slap-up label sticker, Saber encapsulates the ethos of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork – genres that have transformed how we perceive public spaces and their potential for artistic expression. His work serves not only as a visual stimulant but as a cultural artifact that tells the story of our times through the lens of the street artist. As an active contributor to the street art scene, Saber's American roots and continued influence ensure that his voice and vision remain as impactful and memorable as the stickers he tags.

Triple Made in USA Flag Slap-Up Label Sticker Original Tag Art by Saber Original Permanent Marker Art Drawing on Glossy US Flag Sticker by Graffiti Artist Modern Street Artwork. 2020 Signed 3x Uncut US Flag Made in USA America Original Slap Up Graffiti Art Tag 12x4 Marker Tagged on Sticker. The Fusion of Patriotism and Rebellion: Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The artwork under scrutiny exemplifies a vibrant confluence of street art ethos and patriotic expression. At first glance, the piece presents itself as a defiant act of embellishment on a symbol of national pride, the American flag, with a repetitive assertion of domestic production - "Made in the USA." Yet, upon closer inspection, it reveals a layered dialogue between the artist's intent and the viewer's interpretation, characteristic of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Saber, the artist behind this creation, is a recognized figure within the street art community. His contributions have been instrumental in elevating graffiti as a legitimate form of contemporary art. Born in the United States, Saber's works often imbue a sense of national identity while simultaneously challenging the status quo. Through his art, he manifests a unique blend of patriotism and critique, a duality especially palpable in this piece. Symbolism and Significance in Saber's Artwork The triptych form of the uncut sticker sheet intensifies the impact of the message "Made in USA," iterated thrice for emphasis. Each flag is a canvas for Saber's signature tagged style, where the fluidity and boldness of his lines are pronounced against the structured backdrop of the stars and stripes. The choice of a glossy US flag sticker as a medium is deliberate, enhancing the interplay of textures and finishes, a hallmark of street pop art. Saber's use of permanent markers to draw over the stickers indicates the permanence of the sentiments expressed through the artwork. The stark black scribbles, chaotic and vigorous, convey a sense of urgency and raw emotion that often accompanies national identity and production discussions. The act of tagging over a national symbol can be seen as a form of social and political commentary, a conversation starter on topics ranging from patriotism to consumerism in American society. Contextualizing Saber's Work in Modern Street Art In the landscape of modern street art, Saber's work stands out for its fearless confrontation with political themes and its nuanced examination of American identity. His 2020 series of tagged US flag stickers holds a mirror to the complexities of the "American Dream" and the realities of the country's manufacturing ethos. By overlaying graffiti art onto an emblem of national pride, Saber challenges viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the flag and graffiti as an art form. The graffiti artist's employment of slap-up labels, a street art staple, underscores the transient nature of the medium. Traditionally, slap-ups are quickly affixed to surfaces in public spaces, intended for mass consumption, and often subject to removal or decay. In contrast, Saber's work immortalizes this ephemeral technique, transforming the slap-up into a lasting artifact of cultural expression. The fusion of graffiti with the iconic flag imagery in this artwork invites discourse on the dichotomy between established norms and subversive acts. It is a testament to the evolving narrative of street pop art, where the boundaries between the sanctioned and the insurgent are blurred. Saber's art does not just occupy physical space; it occupies the mental space of contemplation, urging an engagement with its underlying messages. Saber's triple "Made in USA" flag stickers stand as a poignant example of how street pop art and graffiti can encapsulate complex socio-political themes within a singular visual experience. It is a striking reminder of the power inherent in street art to communicate, challenge, and engage on levels that transcend the visual, firmly establishing Saber's position within the pantheon of contemporary street artists.

Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine HPM Hand Made Limited Edition Mixed Media, Reclaimed Items, Spray Can Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Eddie Colla. 2020 Signed & Numbered HPM Made & Printed Limited Edition of 30 Spray Paint Can Sculpture Artwork. These Are Art Pieces, They Are Not Medical Devices. "I originally made these fake inhalation vaccines as props for two installations I did with D Young V, Epilogue, and Memento Mori. The installations revolved around apocalyptic possibilities. These recycled Spray paint cans were meant to be discarded inhalation vaccines that the World Health Organization had distributed during a global pandemic. The labels contain information about application dosage and active ingredients. I did a lot of research regarding previous pandemics, such as H1N1 (bird flu). The idea was to create an artifact as real as possible to resemble a failed attempt to contain a global pandemic." Eddie Colla Artistic Representation of Global Pandemics Eddie Colla's "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" mixed media artworks reflect a hauntingly prescient take on global health crises through the lens of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. This limited edition series, consisting of only 30 signed and numbered pieces, incorporates reclaimed items and spray paint cans to form sculptures that stand as poignant artifacts of apocalyptic possibilities. Created as part of two installations with fellow artist D Young V, "Epilogue" and "Memento Mori," Colla's sculptures were designed to represent discarded inhalation vaccines distributed by the World Health Organization during a fictional global pandemic. These installations explored themes of human vulnerability, societal collapse, and the interventions that come into play during such catastrophic events. The sculptures themselves, crafted to mimic the appearance and informational detail of real medical devices, resonate with the realism and urgency of a world grappling with the threat of pandemics. Colla's meticulous research into previous health crises, such as H1N1, informed the creation of this spray can sculpture. The labels on each canister are detailed with application dosage and active ingredients, contributing to the authentic feel of the pieces. This attention to detail not only enhances the visual impact of the sculptures but also embeds a narrative that ties them to the real-world context of public health emergencies. Cultural Commentary through Mixed Media The "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" sculptures starkly comment on the intersection of art, science, and societal response to global health challenges. By using reclaimed spray paint cans, Colla repurposes the mundane and aligns his work with the ethos of recycling and sustainability. These themes are increasingly relevant in contemporary discourse. These sculptures transform the spray can, a ubiquitous tool in street art, into a vessel of deeper meaning, reflecting on the throwaway culture and the implications of medical waste. This body of work also questions the efficacy and accessibility of healthcare interventions, highlighting the disparity between the intended purpose of medical devices and their actual implementation in crisis scenarios. Colla's sculptures suggest a history of use and urgency when these objects were vital to survival. The limited edition nature of these pieces emphasizes their uniqueness as artworks while alluding to the scarcity of resources that can occur in times of crisis. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork's Evocative Power Eddie Colla's contribution to Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork is characterized by his ability to evoke robust responses through objects that bridge art and reality. His sculptures are not passive objects; they are conversation starters that prompt viewers to think critically about the state of the world and our responses to impending dangers. In the tradition of street art, these works are accessible yet complex, visually striking yet laden with meaning. The "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" series underscores the evocative power of street pop art and graffiti to comment on and engage with current events. Through this series, Colla extends the narrative capabilities of street art beyond the walls and into the three-dimensional realm, offering a tangible connection to the issues that permeate our collective consciousness. In essence, Eddie Colla's "Trivaac Inhalation Vaccine" sculptures embody the innovative and reflective qualities of Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork. By blending art with societal critique elements, Colla captures the imagination and ignites discourse, cementing his role as an artist who observes and participates in the broader conversations of our time. His work is a reminder of art's impact on interpreting, understanding, and questioning the world around us.

Two Americas- Large Format Limited Edition Hand Pulled 4-Color Serigraph Print on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper with hand-deckled edges by Shepard Fairey Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 4-Color Serigraph on Varnished 100% Cotton Rag Archival Paper. 30 x 40 inches. Signed by Shepard Fairey. Numbered edition of 100. Jim Marshall's photograph of a coal mining family in Hazard, Kentucky, taken while he lived with them, says a lot with what it shows, which is a mother and two children huddled together in support of each other, but it says just as much with what it lacks. There is a conspicuous absence of material necessities and a father. I don't know whether the father was working in a coal mine when the photograph was taken or had potentially died young because of the health risks of working under dangerous conditions, but it is clear that the family is struggling and lacking.

Ughhhmerica- Welcome Wall Archival Pigment Print on Metal with Etched Acrylic Base Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop legend artist Denial. 2020 Signed & Numbered HPM Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 4x8 DENIAL is a Canadian artist whose work critiques consumerism and the human condition. Though based in Windsor Ontario, DENIAL spends much of the year traveling and exhibiting throughout Canada and the USA, having done solo shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Toronto, and Vancouver. In the world of Denial, memory is important, because it is the basis of his work, as it nostalgically encourages the audience to engage with it. As a result, his art is as familiar, as it is disturbing because it reveals the most unsettling parts of society, the ones we are in a “denial” of. No matter its controversial history, graffiti is less and less viewed as a form of vandalism.

Untitled III Original Acrylic Painting by Atomik One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2020 Signed Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Size 12x12 Smiling Atomik Orange Untitled III by Atomik: The Smiling Orange as Icon of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Untitled III is a 12 x 12 inch original acrylic painting on canvas by Atomik, a Miami-based artist widely recognized for his recurring character—the grinning orange with exaggerated features and slick green leaves. Created in 2020, this one-of-a-kind signed piece captures the energy and wit that defines Atomik’s work in the worlds of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, affectionately known as the Atomik Orange, emerged as a response to the demolition of Miami’s Orange Bowl in 2008 and has since evolved into a vibrant symbol of community memory, local pride, and artistic defiance. In Untitled III, the orange character is presented in a tightly cropped view, its cartoonish grin stretched across the lower canvas, eyes glinting with thick, comic-style highlights. The paint is layered with precision, bold black linework creating a crisp barrier between vivid orange and lime green tones. Shades of blue and white bring depth to the character’s eyes and smile, while the use of directional hatching nods to print-era comic illustrations. The background, rendered in a calm sky blue, allows the character’s electric palette to explode off the canvas. This color relationship enhances the orange’s buoyant personality, which is humorous, manic, and defiant all at once. The Atomik Orange and the Language of Urban Reclamation The character at the center of Untitled III represents more than just visual branding—it is a reclamation of space and memory. When the Orange Bowl was razed, a piece of Miami’s identity was lost. Atomik, born and active in the United States, responded with a visual intervention that turned grief into vibrancy. His orange character began to appear across the city on walls, mailboxes, rooftops, and abandoned buildings, acting as both a tribute and a defiant marker of presence. In canvas form, as seen here, the character retains all of its street energy while transitioning into a collectible artifact. The cheeky grin and raised brow act as visual shorthand for Miami’s blend of attitude, warmth, and creative resistance. Atomik’s work embodies the style and function of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where characters serve as symbolic graffiti tags, social commentary, and public avatars. His orange exists in multiple states—rebel, clown, mascot—and its simplicity is its power. The use of expressive line, exaggerated proportion, and strategic highlights is directly linked to the language of muralism and comic book art, both of which feed into graffiti’s visual vocabulary. From Street to Canvas: Atomik’s Expansion into Gallery Culture Untitled III represents an important aspect of Atomik’s practice: the movement of street-born characters into formal art spaces without sacrificing edge or identity. By bringing his orange to canvas, Atomik maintains the same boldness and accessibility found on city walls. The work is not diluted but concentrated, focusing all its pop intensity into a contained format. The painting retains the urgency and charm of its graffiti roots, made sharper through studio technique and acrylic detail. This transition from public wall to private collection is central to many Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork artists, who continue to operate in both spheres simultaneously. Atomik remains prolific in Miami’s streets, but his gallery pieces like Untitled III allow collectors to engage with the movement in intimate, long-lasting ways. These pieces become cultural documents, embodying not only the energy of a character but the broader movement it represents. Visual Identity and Cultural Commentary in the Work of Atomik Atomik’s orange is more than an aesthetic motif—it is a cultural signal. The bold grin, the splash of citrus color, and the playful features all contribute to a language of visual activism. It communicates joy while remembering loss, mischief while asserting presence. Untitled III, with its clean composition and signature style, preserves this energy on canvas in a way that invites repeated viewing. The piece pulses with the same character-driven ethos that has defined pop art figures since the mid-twentieth century, while remaining grounded in graffiti’s rebellious tradition. As a singular work of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Untitled III captures a moment in time when characters were not just imagined but lived across a city’s architecture. Atomik’s orange continues to smile—on walls, on canvases, in print, and in spirit—reminding viewers that personality and protest often share the same line.

Untitled Simulator Interface I Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by J Demsky pop culture LSD artwork. "My first experience with the Lsd was if I remember correctly about 95-96. It was a small dose, probably a quarter of a "Lucas Duck" that were quite soft, the second was the same dose with a “Bicycle" and the experience was also smooth.Until one day the "Simpson double drop" appeared and it was different. We took half to be sure of the trip and we did not notice anything after almost an hour (at that time people also sold them fake) so we decided to take the other half, imagine what happened.We lost control and my friend ran away, I supposed to go his house and I did the same. But I remember it took me a while to open all three doors since the key was bent as if it were a magic trick.The first thing I did was turn on the TV and there was the movie "The Shining", I was only able to see some scenes but I remember the second time I watch it I thought they had deleted some scenes, you can imagine...Until dawn it was very intense. I think this was the last use I did LSD in a very long time.Now I can say that I have never dedicated myself to selling drugs, but I was very good at faking things and spent a while making "replicas" of sheets of some that were very soft (like “Marilyn Monroe’s" or "Strawberries”) I even used my own designs of things that he painted at that time.In these strange days I feel with a smile remembering those experiences and adding a double drop to these new sheets. :)" - J Demsky

Vader Grin Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper by Ron English- POPaganda Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered #2 (Originally Reserved As PP Printers Proof) Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 12x12 Star Wars Darth Vader Skeleton Grin Smiley. Ron English's Vader Grin and the Warped Language of Iconography Ron English’s Vader Grin fuses dystopian sci-fi symbolism with the subversive vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2020 as a limited edition archival pigment print, the piece measures 12x12 inches and was produced on 290gsm Moab fine art paper. This particular edition, originally held as Printer’s Proof #2, forms part of a 100-print run, each signed and numbered by the artist. The work reimagines the helmeted visage of Darth Vader—one of cinema’s most recognizable figures—by seamlessly embedding English’s trademark skeletal grin beneath the mask. The result is a jarring yet alluring hybrid that simultaneously honors and mocks the power of cultural icons. The work relies on visual contradiction. The hyper-glossy black helmet, reflecting cool blues and menacing reds, feels ominous and theatrical. Yet the grin beneath it introduces grotesque levity. It is not merely a skull, but a warped, cartoonish smile that undermines the mythic power typically associated with the character. English uses this visual tension to create discomfort, inviting viewers to question what lies beneath their cultural obsessions. By merging a corporate media character with his skeletal smile, English distills themes of decay, commodification, and spectacle. Visual Tactics Rooted in Street Pop and Graffiti Art Ron English built his career on hijacking visual systems. His approach combines photorealism with absurdity, blending polished fine art techniques with aesthetics borrowed from street murals and graffiti culture. Vader Grin sits at the intersection of these traditions. Though the print is created with archival precision, the electric glow surrounding the helmet mimics the energy of neon street lighting or aerosol fades. The blue halo contrasts sharply with the blood-red reflections on one side of the mask, giving the image a radioactive aura that feels both synthetic and urgent. English’s background in billboard takeovers and illegal mural work informs every detail of the piece. His choice to deface an archetype of cinematic villainy with a smile nods to graffiti’s function as cultural resistance. It reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in how images dominate urban space and public imagination. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork often collapses the barrier between fine art and mass media, and Vader Grin thrives in that collapse. It operates as both parody and portrait, critique and celebration. Skeletal Symbols and the Politics of Satire The skeletal grin, a recurring motif throughout Ron English’s body of work, serves as more than a visual joke. It operates as a critique of power, often layered over figures who symbolize authority, consumer manipulation, or mythologized violence. In Vader Grin, the deathly smile strips the character of gravitas, revealing a hollowed-out husk beneath layers of narrative and merchandising. The mask is no longer a tool of intimidation—it becomes a vessel of emptiness, the face of a brand designed for mass appeal but drained of human substance. The work fits into a broader history of Street Pop Art where artists interrogate the allure of media-generated heroes and villains. English’s satire does not merely poke fun at pop culture—it exposes how symbols are consumed without critical engagement. The skeletal transformation represents the erosion of meaning beneath constant reproduction. In Vader Grin, the viewer is left to contend with a familiar face turned alien, a symbol of evil turned into a smirking relic, smiling through the collapse of its own mythology.
