Accompanying the image is the phrase "THEY'RE JUST LIKE CANDY!" which adds a layer of narrative and intrigue to the piece. In this unique art object, the collaboration's spirit is palpable. The featured artwork captures the essence of the AKIRA series, while the incorporation of Supreme's logo recontextualizes the image within high-end street fashion. The choice to modify the Supreme logo and place it on the pill within the artwork speaks to the brand's knack for seamlessly integrating popular culture references within its products. This technique endears the piece not only to fans of the manga but also to followers of the Supreme brand, whose identity is cleverly woven into the narrative of the artwork. The underside of the plate is as much a part of the art as the top, displaying the classic Supreme Box logo in its original, vivid colors. This touch is a signature move by the brand, a nod to its roots in the skateboarding and streetwear scenes, and serves as a certificate of authenticity for collectors.

Solitary Child 3 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Hikari Shimoda Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 12x12 "Solitary Child is a series of works, focused on my original theme of the inevitability of the Apocalypse. In this series, I am offering a new savior for humankind- she is a magical girl (Solitary Child #1) and a little boy hero (Solitary Child #3). In the world of my paintings, humanity has perished, as seen in the collage background, where there is an expressed chaos throughout. In these images, my saviors have come upon the dying human race. After the death of man, the world has found some relief from the turmoil that he has brought upon it. Meanwhile, mankind selfishly dreams of newfound happiness in his afterlife. In the mythology of my work, as humanity is destroyed, only one figure remains and that is the Messiah represented as a child. The magical girl was the first to be left alone after humanity was destroyed, left to deal with the despair and damage he left behind. Her eyes are shining and sparkling, but her stare is blank. In contrast, my hero’s eyes are closed ever so gently. To him, everything in the world is very chaotic and overwhelming. He feels all of its happiness, despair, hope, sadness, everything… in such a state, even the world’s savior must shut his eyes to it." - Hikari Shimoda Solitary Child 3 Archival Pigment Print by Hikari Shimoda Solitary Child 3 by Hikari Shimoda is a vivid embodiment of emotional symbolism and post-apocalyptic narrative rendered through the lens of Japanese Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2016 as a signed and numbered archival pigment print limited to 50 editions, the artwork measures 12x12 inches and is printed on 310gsm fine art paper. This circular piece, like its counterpart Solitary Child 1, presents a child as a spiritual savior in the wake of humanity’s collapse. However, where the magical girl of the first installment gazes outward with shining eyes, Solitary Child 3 closes his eyes to the world, weighed down by its chaos and sorrow. The Child Hero as a Symbol of Emotional Overload The central figure is a young boy depicted with softly closed eyes, a vacant expression, and flushed cheeks. His pale, almost ghostlike complexion contrasts with the electric vibrancy of the chaotic collage behind him. The boy wears a star-laden shirt with the phrase I AM HERO emblazoned across the chest. This phrase is not a declaration of ego but a burden of responsibility in a world shattered by human error. With small black horns rising from his head and a solemn composure, the character straddles the line between innocence and burdened divine messenger. Hikari Shimoda’s universe exists in a fantastical space where childlike visuals are infused with heavy existential themes. The surrounding background in Solitary Child 3 is littered with neon stars, stickers, anime-inspired creatures, and cultural flotsam. The visual chaos symbolizes the overstimulation of modern society and the debris left behind after its collapse. The messianic child stands amid this wreckage, absorbing it all in quiet contemplation. Unlike heroes who fight with swords or powers, this savior’s resistance lies in his inward emotional experience. Aesthetic Tension Between Kawaii and Catastrophe Shimoda blends traditional Japanese pop culture imagery with deeply contemporary anxieties. The work’s aesthetic borrows heavily from kawaii sensibilities—cute characters, colorful motifs, childlike wonder—but it is filtered through a lens of apocalypse, grief, and spiritual ambiguity. The character is not smiling. His closed eyes speak to a need to shut out the pain of the world, even as he must stand as its redeemer. The artist challenges the viewer to question what innocence means when it exists in the shadow of destruction, and what heroism requires when the world has already ended. Pop Iconography Transformed Through Spiritual Narrative Solitary Child 3 situates itself within the new wave of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork by merging painterly techniques, manga aesthetics, and conceptual symbolism. Hikari Shimoda’s work challenges traditional Western ideas of what children represent in visual culture. Here, the child is not naive or oblivious but rather deeply aware, spiritually complex, and emotionally overwhelmed. The use of archival pigment print on heavy fine art paper preserves both the vibrancy and the texture of the original, allowing collectors to experience the intimacy and power of Shimoda’s vision. This print serves as a profound statement within Shimoda’s mythological continuum. It reminds the viewer that amid ruin, the last figure standing is not a politician or warrior, but a child—silent, enduring, and burdened with the sorrow of a fallen world.

Who Fried Roger Rabbit? Seroquel Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of TBD Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2025 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Cartoon Madness Meets Pharmaceutical Culture Who Fried Roger Rabbit? Seroquel Blotter Paper Print by Ben Frost reimagines the iconic animated character Roger Rabbit within the framework of modern pharmaceutical branding. Released as part of Frost’s 2025 collection, this 7.5 x 7.5 inch limited edition archival pigment print on perforated blotter paper explores the collision of pop culture and medication packaging with satirical precision. Featuring the animated character smiling manically beside a Seroquel XR layout, the print is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey and produced in a signed and numbered edition. This work critiques how society normalizes mental health struggles through branding and questions how animation, nostalgia, and pharmaceuticals can coexist in a single visual message. Satirical Branding and Medicinal Irony Frost fuses Roger Rabbit’s over-the-top personality with Seroquel, a medication used to treat mood disorders, to amplify the surreal effects of overstimulation and sedation. By transforming the clinical appearance of a pharmaceutical box into a playful, chaotic canvas for a cartoon figure, Frost blurs the line between treatment and escapism. His use of quetiapine packaging language is precise, including dosage information and warnings, yet subverted by Roger Rabbit’s erratic demeanor. The underlying message reflects on how medication is commercialized in a culture that commodifies both mental illness and childhood nostalgia. Material Subversion in Blotter Format The blotter paper format is integral to the conceptual thrust of the piece. Traditionally associated with LSD distribution, blotter prints evoke a psychedelic lineage and hint at an altered perception of reality. By placing a cartoon character on a faux-medication backdrop, Frost disrupts the expectation of serious pharmaceutical design with absurdity. The perforation physically fragments the image, echoing the fragmentation of consciousness and emotion in both medicated and animated experiences. This format enables the artwork to comment simultaneously on drug culture, entertainment media, and mental health marketing. Ben Frost’s Visual Provocation Australian artist Ben Frost has made a name for himself by appropriating advertising, pharmaceutical logos, and mass-market cartoons into biting social commentary. His Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork unpacks consumer psychology through bold color, recognizable imagery, and pointed juxtapositions. Who Fried Roger Rabbit? is a standout example of this method—merging the aesthetics of childhood with the clinical detachment of adult medicalization. Frost confronts viewers with contradictions they may overlook in daily life, drawing humor and tension from the unsettling marriage of cartoon madness and prescribed stability. It’s not just visual stimulation—it’s a question wrapped in a package we’re told to trust.

Sister White Fox Letterpress Print by Yumiko Kayukawa Limited Edition on MEDIUM Graffiti Street Pop Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Hand Deckled Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 8 x 10 in. 2-Color Letter Press on Hand-Deckled Coventry Rag Paper Letterpress Print Yumiko Kayukawa Sister White Fox Letterpress Print 2024 The 2024 Sister White Fox letterpress print by Japanese-born, Seattle-based artist Yumiko Kayukawa exemplifies her refined blend of traditional Japanese iconography, contemporary illustration, and the bold graphic sensibility associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Produced as a signed and numbered limited edition of 40, this 8 x 10 inch print is executed in two-color letterpress on hand-deckled Coventry Rag paper, giving each piece a tactile, crafted presence. The soft emboss of letterpress printing heightens Kayukawa’s signature balance of elegance and contrast, further enhancing the print’s collectible appeal. Imagery Rooted in Myth and Modernity The composition features a serene female figure adorned with a fox mask, accompanied by a live white fox perched at her shoulder. Rendered in crisp black linework with accents of vivid red, the artwork evokes the Japanese folklore of the kitsune — mystical foxes known for intelligence, shapeshifting, and spiritual guidance. The woman’s poised expression and flowing hair intertwine with stylized cloud forms and cherry blossoms, symbols that echo both tradition and rebirth. Kayukawa’s minimal but deliberate use of red punctuates the composition with emotional intensity, drawing attention to the mask’s markings, the woman’s lips, and the subtle cords tying the scene together. Technique and Material Detail Printed on hand-deckled Coventry Rag, the piece carries the textured sophistication of fine art paper often used in high-end printmaking. The letterpress technique sinks the ink slightly into the fibers, producing a soft relief that complements Kayukawa’s clean, controlled linework. This method emphasizes the interplay of negative space and form, a hallmark of her visual language. The intimate scale reinforces the personal, almost devotional quality of the imagery, inviting close viewing to appreciate the subtle precision of the print. Yumiko Kayukawa’s Artistic Voice Born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1970, Yumiko Kayukawa has built a significant international following through her harmonious fusion of pop culture, anime-influenced stylization, and traditional Japanese motifs. Now working from Seattle, she continues to explore themes of femininity, independence, nature, and mythology through bold contrasts and emotionally charged symbolism. Sister White Fox reflects her ability to draw from centuries-old stories while shaping them into contemporary expressions of identity and strength. Within the sphere of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Kayukawa’s prints stand apart for their narrative clarity and cultural resonance, offering viewers an encounter with myth reimagined for a modern world.

Venus Diffuser White Plaster Sculpture by Takeru Amano Limited Edition Pop Artwork Street Artist Fine Art. 2021 Limited Edition of 500 Sculpture Statue Artwork Size 3x7x2 Venus Diffuser by Takeru Amano – Sculptural Minimalism in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Venus Diffuser white plaster sculpture by Japanese artist Takeru Amano, released in 2021 as a limited edition of 500, merges classical iconography with the softened minimalism of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 3 x 7 x 2 inches, this small-format sculpture is crafted from matte white plaster and features Amano’s signature stylized female form encased in an angular block. The figure is inspired by classical representations of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, but reimagined through Amano’s lens of stylized reduction and cultural refinement. The figure’s simplified facial features, flowing hair, and soft curves are enveloped in a jagged stone motif that suggests emergence, tension, and transformation. It is both sculpture and scent diffuser, connecting the sensuality of material with the invisible atmosphere it disperses. Takeru Amano and the Transformation of Venus in Contemporary Aesthetics Born in Tokyo in 1977, Takeru Amano is known for blending the restrained elegance of Japanese tradition with the bold, graphic language of modern pop culture. His reinterpretation of Venus is less about mythology and more about iconography—stripped of overt narrative but full of implication. The Venus Diffuser reframes classical sculpture through a lens that respects symmetry and serenity while emphasizing abstraction and emotional neutrality. Unlike the expressive gestures found in historical depictions, Amano’s Venus is calm, introspective, and silent. This restraint positions the piece within a new context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork where objects are no longer decorative or monumental, but conceptually loaded, context-aware, and minimalist in execution. Material, Form, and the Intimacy of Scale Crafted in white plaster, the Venus Diffuser achieves a matte surface that enhances its tactile and visual purity. The material reflects Amano’s preference for minimal color interference, allowing the form itself to dominate the viewer’s experience. The sculpture’s modest dimensions add to its impact—it is not meant to overwhelm but to invite proximity and contemplation. The visual break of jagged geometry across the base and sides contrasts the flowing curves of the figure, suggesting a metaphorical excavation of beauty from constraint. Signed and produced in a closed edition of 500, the piece stands as a collectible that bridges collectible sculpture with domestic intimacy, reflecting how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork now moves beyond walls and canvases into lived spaces. Street Pop Sculpture as Object and Aura The Venus Diffuser is not only visual but functional, intended to hold and emit scent as part of a collaboration with the Either Scent of Art project. This fusion of fine art and utility reinforces the evolving direction of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork toward experiential and sensory engagement. By transforming Venus into a multidimensional object—part goddess, part design, part atmosphere—Amano demonstrates how pop art has matured beyond mere reproduction and into forms that suggest permanence, ritual, and contemplation. The signature and branded packaging elevate the piece further into the sphere of contemporary art collectibles, yet it remains accessible in its symbolism and approachable in size. Takeru Amano’s Venus Diffuser stands as a distilled form of modern elegance, where mythology, sculpture, and scent converge in one poetic and precise object.

Hush-Hush Archival Print by Giorgiko Limited Edition on Cotton Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Art Artist Modern Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of TBD Artwork Size 30x36 Archival Pigment Fine Art of Boy or Girl Holding a Cookie. Image size is 27" x 33" with 1-1/2" white borders. Printed by Static Medium. Hush-Hush by Giorgiko – Limited Edition Archival Print in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Hush-Hush is a 2023 archival pigment print by the artist duo Giorgiko, printed by Static Medium on cotton fine art paper. Measuring 30 x 36 inches with an image area of 27 x 33 inches surrounded by 1.5-inch white borders, this piece embodies Giorgiko’s signature blend of innocence, introspection, and symbolic contradiction. In this limited edition release, a gender-neutral character—marked by the classic blank, oval eyes and soft, rounded facial features familiar to Giorgiko’s recurring figures—is shown holding a cookie while wearing a ruffled Renaissance collar and a dark cap, standing against a dreamy, cloud-filled sky. The soft, glowing light paired with high-fidelity textures gives the character an almost mythic presence, while the humorous absurdity of the cookie grounds the image in modern whimsy. Visual Juxtaposition and Emotional Stillness Hush-Hush merges visual contradiction with narrative subtlety. The Renaissance collar and puffy jacket evoke historical formality and ceremonial grandeur, yet the baseball cap and chocolate chip cookie undercut this formality with quiet absurdity. The contrast creates a tension between tradition and playfulness, high art and youth culture. The character’s expression, despite lacking defined features, suggests hesitation or contemplation. Giorgiko’s approach to emotional storytelling relies not on overt gestures but on posture, silhouette, and context. The figure appears paused in motion, mid-thought, suspended between indulgence and restraint. This ambiguity creates an emotional space in which the viewer can insert their own reflection, making the piece as much about internal narrative as it is about aesthetic execution. Technique and Symbolism in Contemporary Street Pop Art Giorgiko’s Hush-Hush is printed using archival pigment on high-quality cotton paper, delivering vivid tonal transitions and painterly textures that highlight the studio’s hybrid technique. While Giorgiko often draws influence from classical oil painting, their compositions are informed by urban and graffiti-inspired aesthetics, using minimalism and cartoon stylization to generate universal emotional resonance. The oversized collar nods to portraiture traditions from Western art history, while the cap and modern streetwear textures tie the figure back to contemporary cultural identity. The cookie, humorous and unthreatening, becomes a symbol of simplicity and self-soothing, a quiet rebellion against the weight of the world. Through this intersection of classical reverence and everyday absurdity, Hush-Hush extends the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork to embrace stillness, contradiction, and narrative restraint. Giorgiko’s Unique Voice in Modern Figurative Work As a collaborative project between Darren and Trisha Inouye, Giorgiko continues to create a distinct narrative space where archetypes, emotional silence, and visual poetry intersect. Hush-Hush exemplifies their ability to take a single moment and elevate it into an archetype of modern emotional experience. Rather than relying on overt protest or visual chaos, the duo uses softness, ambiguity, and surreal calm to explore identity, detachment, and the quiet humor embedded in life’s contradictions. In the broader field of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Giorgiko’s work stands out for its subtle yet immersive world-building, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find connection in the stillness of a cookie held quietly against a pastel storm.

Lil Nekobasu Archival Pigment Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper by Pop Artist Casey Weldon Artwork. 2017 Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 14x14 Lil Nekobasu by Casey Weldon – Whimsical Mutation in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Casey Weldon's 2017 limited edition print Lil Nekobasu stands as a surreal and captivating piece in the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released as a numbered edition of 150, this 14 by 14 inch archival pigment print is produced on fine art paper with high-fidelity color accuracy and exceptional detail. The image captures a hybrid creature that playfully merges feline charm with the visual structure of a segmented bus, a clever nod to pop culture and a direct homage to the character Catbus from Japanese animation. Yet Weldon’s version is distinctly his own, rendered with a unique softness and eerie precision that has become a trademark of his imaginative, emotionally suggestive style. The background places the creature on what appears to be a human lap, surrounded by natural textures like grass, blurring the boundaries between comfort, fantasy, and strangeness. Casey Weldon: American Pop Surrealist Reimagining the Familiar Born in the United States, Casey Weldon is known for his dreamlike compositions and frequent use of cats, glowing eyes, and nostalgic references as thematic devices. His work resides in a space where pop culture, sentimentality, and oddity converge. With Lil Nekobasu, Weldon leans into his fascination with childhood wonder and visual puns, offering a creature that is equal parts cute, cryptic, and unsettling. The deliberate detail in the fur texture, the glint in the cat’s golden eyes, and the seamless integration of mechanical segments across its back transform this into a visual paradox—playful but uncanny, tender yet odd. The print is emblematic of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can elevate the bizarre and personal to the level of fine art without losing its connection to humor and nostalgia. Visual Technique and Materiality in a Digital-Physical Fusion The use of archival pigment printing in Lil Nekobasu allows for intense color vibrancy and depth, which is essential to conveying the almost hyperreal textures of Weldon’s painted forms. This medium is prized among contemporary artists for its longevity and ability to replicate the subtlety of original brushwork and gradients. The fine art paper base enhances the print’s visual impact, creating a tactile sense of depth that resonates with the physicality of traditional media while maintaining the efficiency and clarity of digital processes. The 14 x 14 inch format offers a perfect square composition that reinforces the intimacy and symmetry of the subject, placing the viewer close to this strange creature in a moment of relaxed fantasy. Cultural Echoes and the Subversive Sweetness of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork By referencing Totoro’s Catbus while creating a fully original being, Weldon engages in a cultural remix that is foundational to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The hybrid nature of Lil Nekobasu speaks to a generation raised on animated fantasies but grounded in the absurdities of adulthood. Weldon’s reinterpretation avoids imitation by amplifying personal symbolism and emphasizing mood over narrative. The print challenges the viewer to feel affection for something they cannot quite categorize. Its unsettling serenity is a commentary on how strange and charming the familiar can become through slight distortion. In the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Lil Nekobasu encapsulates the genre’s ability to make viewers laugh, feel, and question all at once. This piece stands as a collectible not just for fans of cats or cartoons, but for those drawn to the emotional ambiguity that defines much of the best contemporary pop-infused art.
