Storyteller Variant AP Silkscreen Print by Raid71 Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2023 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 The "Storyteller AP" silkscreen print by Raid71, the moniker of British artist Chris Thornley, is a rich, evocative tribute to the legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, a towering figure in the world of animation. This work, infused with a deep admiration for Miyazaki, emerges as a unique confluence of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, embodying elements that are quintessential to each of these genres, thereby capturing the essence of their dynamism. The print encapsulates the magical realism and intricate artistry characteristic of Miyazaki's films. By employing silkscreen printing, a popular method in the pop art movement famously used by artists like Andy Warhol, Raid71 is able to imbue the artwork with vivid colours and bold shapes, capturing the exuberant visual style typical of Miyazaki's fantastical worlds. Simultaneously, Raid71's print exhibits an aesthetic that is reminiscent of street art and graffiti. The organic forms and somewhat edgy, wild feel of the design mirrors the raw energy found in street murals or urban spray-can masterpieces. A hint of subversiveness is introduced, much like street art and graffiti often serve as counter-culture expressions or socio-political commentary. The "Storyteller AP" by Raid71 is thus not just an homage to Miyazaki, but also a celebration of these artistic genres. It mirrors the world-building capabilities of pop art, the raw energy of street art, and the disruptive potency of graffiti, all while maintaining a unique identity. This intertwining of styles generates a captivating visual narrative, positioning Raid71 as a modern-day storyteller, translating the magic of Miyazaki's oeuvre into a new medium.

AP Artist Proof 2018 Signed & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 21x28 Nest Giclee Artist Proof by Dulk: A Journey into Fantasy and Nature Nest is an enchanting giclee print by Dulk, the artistic pseudonym of Antonio Segura Donat, a Spanish artist recognized for his intricate, nature-inspired artwork.

This particular print, Nest, was produced as an artist-proof in 2018 and is a signed and marked AP edition, emphasizing its uniqueness and collectibility. The print is on 290gsm fine art paper, known for its quality and ability to capture fine details, and its 21x28-inch size makes it ideal for display, adding a captivating presence to any space. Exploring Dulk's Imaginative World in Nest Nest offers a glimpse into Dulk's imaginative vision, where animals are given anthropomorphic traits and placed in elaborate, almost theatrical settings. The scene unfolds in a dense forest where a massive tiger, adorned with geometric markings and a glowing heart on its chest, serves as the centerpiece. Around this majestic creature, various birds, including toucans and owls, find their place, lending a sense of unity and calm. Above the tiger's head is a whimsical structure resembling a carnival booth, complete with a ladder and a sign. It suggests a narrative element as if it's a perch or a lookout for the forest's inhabitants. Each character in this intricate scene seems to have a story, with a chameleon, mushrooms, and other forest creatures filling the background, contributing to the piece's rich tapestry. With its soft yet vibrant colors, the setting in Nest has a surreal atmosphere that transports viewers into an enchanted forest where animals possess personalities and live within a fantasy ecosystem. Dulk's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the textures on the tiger's fur to the feathers of the birds and the delicate autumn leaves scattered across the forest floor. This precision immerses viewers in the scene, observing each animal's expression and behavior. Dulk's work in Nest speaks to his fascination with the natural world and his desire to raise awareness about wildlife, often infusing his pieces with subtle messages about the beauty and fragility of nature. The Influence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork in Dulk's Work Though Dulk's work may not appear as conventional graffiti, his background in street art and his affiliation with Street Pop Art influences are evident in his stylistic choices and the cultural accessibility of his pieces. Street Pop Art is characterized by its blend of popular culture elements with street art's raw, bold aesthetics. Dulk brings this approach to his fine art by making fantastical, approachable, and engaging scenes while retaining an edge of urban influence. His roots in graffiti and street art are reflected in how he constructs his narratives, with vibrant colors and intricate details that demand attention, much like a street mural would in an urban landscape. Dulk's choice to present Nest as an artist-proof limited edition resonates with the graffiti artwork ethos of creating pieces that feel both exclusive and accessible. This limited-edition format preserves the artwork's value, creating a special connection for collectors who appreciate the street art mentality of rarity and individuality. Although the piece is on fine art paper, a medium traditionally associated with gallery and museum settings, the artwork retains an urban feel rooted in Dulk's street art origins. This fusion of high art and street aesthetics makes Dulk's work appealing to a broad audience, bridging the gap between fine art collectors and fans of urban-inspired visual storytelling. The Appeal of Limited Edition Artist Proofs As an artist proof, Nest uniquely appeals to collectors who value limited, signed editions by established artists. Artist proofs are unique in that they are often among the first prints made, serving as a benchmark for the edition's quality and sometimes including slight variations from the standard prints. This quality makes artist proofs highly collectible and sought after in the art world. The fine art paper used in Nest's print edition enhances the depth and richness of Dulk's colors, preserving every fine detail and creating a piece that maintains its beauty over time. The 290gsm fine art paper used for Nest allows Dulk's intricate work to be displayed with clarity and sharpness, capturing the full intensity of his color palette. The 21x28-inch dimensions provide enough space for viewers to immerse themselves in the details of the scene while keeping it accessible for various display options.

Techniques and Style Frost is renowned for his street pop art and graffiti artwork, which often utilizes the visual language of advertising and consumerism to explore deeper themes. The "War 100 Tablets" is a clear example of this, as it mimics the look of a medication box, suggesting that war is being 'sold' to the public much like any over-the-counter drug. The stencil technique used by Frost is a hallmark of street art, allowing for sharp, precise lines often associated with mass-produced items, further emphasizing the piece's commentary on commercialism. The artist's use of spray paint and acrylic lends the work a textured, layered look characteristic of graffiti art. This blend of materials and techniques is a deliberate choice by Frost to blur the lines between high art and street art, creating a piece that is accessible yet complex, with a finish that invites closer inspection. Cultural Impact and Collectibility Frost's "War 100 Tablets" is a visually striking piece and a collectible item within the art community. The limited number of panels produced, coupled with the hand-painted aspect, ensures that each piece within the series is unique.

TP Test Print 2023 Signed & Tagged Hand Painted Silkscreen Test Print Acrylic HPM Embellished One-of-a-Kind Artwork Size 20x26 Exploring the Layers of 'Interdimensional Test Print' by Dalek - James Marshall James Marshall, known in the art world as Dalek presents 'Interdimensional Test Print,' a unique hand-painted acrylic silkscreen print that captures the vibrant essence of pop street art. The 2023 artwork, sized at 20x26 inches, is not just a visual spectacle but also an embodiment of the experimental nature inherent in creating screen prints as a TP (test print); it bears the marks of an artist at work, the trial stage where colors and compositions are explored before the final edition is run. This test print is tagged and signed by Dalek, bearing the hallmarks of his distinctive style - bold colors, geometric shapes, and a unique sense of depth. The term 'HPM' denotes 'Hand Painted Multiple,' indicating that while the print may be part of a series, each piece is uniquely embellished by the artist, making it one-of-a-kind. The combination of silkscreen printing and hand painting blurs the lines between mass-produced art and unique creations, a hallmark of street pop art and graffiti artwork that often plays with such dichotomies. Dalek's Artistic Process and the Significance of Test Prints Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' provides insight into the artist's process. The test print serves as a creative playground for the artist, a space to experiment with color overlays, composition adjustments, and new techniques. This stage is crucial as it allows the artist to see how different colors interact on the chosen paper, how the overlays create new hues, and how the various elements of the design come together. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous process involved in screen printing, where each layer must be carefully considered and executed. Using acrylic paint to embellish the print adds a textured, handcrafted dimension to the work, distinguishing it from the more uniform, mechanical process of screen printing. This interplay of precision and spontaneity often characterizes street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the raw, immediate energy of street art meets the calculated design of pop art. 'Interdimensional Test Print' in the Context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti, Dalek's 'Interdimensional Test Print' stands out for its vivid exploration of form and color. Street pop art often takes cues from the bustling urban environment and its cacophony of signs, symbols, and colors. In this piece, Dalek synthesizes these elements into a cohesive whole that is both chaotic and controlled, a reflection of the complex urban landscapes from which street art emerges. The print showcases Dalek's evolution from his earlier graffiti-based work towards a style that incorporates street art and fine art elements. His work has always been characterized by an engagement with the visual lexicon of graffiti—its bold lines, vivid colors, and recurring motifs. Yet, in 'Interdimensional Test Print,' there is a noticeable shift towards a more abstract and complex composition that suggests a deeper engagement with the formal qualities of art-making. This piece not only represents Dalek's artistic journey but also the journey of street pop art itself. The genre has moved from the fringes of the art world to occupy a more central position, where it is recognized for its innovation, technical skill, and capacity to communicate complex themes. 'Interdimensional Test Print,' with its hand-painted layers and meticulous silkscreen technique, is emblematic of this shift, encapsulating the essence of street pop art as a continually evolving form and defying easy categorization. Collectors and admirers of Dalek's work recognize the intrinsic value of a piece like 'Interdimensional Test Print.' As a one-of-a-kind artwork, it holds aesthetic appeal and an intimate connection to the artist's hand and creative spirit. It embodies the dynamism of street pop art and graffiti artwork, a field that continues to push boundaries and challenge our perceptions of art and creativity.

Read "This Changes Everything" by Naomi Klein if you'd like a strong analysis of the severity of the climate crisis and the urgency to transition off of fossil fuels. Proceeds from these prints will benefit 350.org to support their work around the climate emergency.

The reference to Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything" underscores the severity of the looming climate crisis, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of our current ecological predicament and the urgency with which we must act.

The size of the artwork, 18x24 inches, ensures it captures attention while also being adaptable to diverse display settings.

ME Mixed Edition Print, The Prints Vary In Color Through The Numbers of The Edition. 76 different silkscreen colors and variants in one edition. Signed and numbered, date stamped on back. The name of this print run has a double meaning to me. I decided to release it on August 5th to pay tribute to the Beastie Boys legend MCA (Adam Yauch); his birthday. Growing up, just about every day after school I would grab my basketball and head to the park or Boy's Club for some pickup games. Most of the time it was Beastie Boys on my walkman when I made the walk. They have always been a big influence on me. Also, no sleep till I feel confident with enough artwork for a solo show in Brooklyn. It may be a few years out, but I will keep trying to juggle family life, a regular job, and artwork with many late nights... -Tim Oliveira

Spanning an impressive 28x35.5 inches, this large format print captivates the viewer with its expansive narrative canvas. Central to the artwork is an Asian Anime-inspired girl encapsulated within a robot, an embodiment of the seamless blend of organic and mechanistic elements. Her expressive eyes provide a window into her soul, juxtaposing the cold, mechanical exterior of her robotic suit. Surrounding her are myriad symbols and elements that evoke a sense of wonder and delve deep into the realms of fantasy. The interspersion of mountains, rainbows, and dreamlike creatures in the backdrop further accentuates the artwork's ethereal quality. Yosuke Ueno's "Hapico Machina" stands as a testament to the evolution of pop art. By fusing traditional street art and graffiti influences with contemporary themes and anime aesthetics, Ueno has carved a niche for himself in the global art scene. His work, especially pieces like this, challenges conventions and invites viewers to immerse themselves in a universe where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.
