    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Warning: Addictive- Green Silkscreen Skateboard by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Warning: Addictive- Green Limited Edition Silkscreen Skateboard deck art by street pop culture artist Shepard Fairey OBEY. I've been a big fan of Andy Howell's art and skateboarding since the late '80s, and I watched eagerly as he and his partners launched New Deal Skateboards in 1990. New Deal was groundbreaking not only because skaters creatively led it, but because Andy Howell's art and design almost instantly shifted the aesthetics and style of skateboarding from skulls and dragons to graffiti and hip-hop. New Deal was the first company primarily focused on street skating and street culture, and their smart, funny, ads celebrated their role as the "power to the people," "ear to the street" vanguard of skater-owned-and-run companies. Straight out of the gate New Deal set the tone for the '90s. -Shepard 2020 Warning Addictive Skate Deck. Numbered edition of 400. Signed by Shepard Fairey.

  • Mashups John Shanahan 8.06 Skateboard Art Deck by DKG

    DKG Mashups John Shanahan 8.06 Skateboard Art Deck by DKG

    Mashups Stevie Williams Astronaut 8.25 Skateboard Art Deck by DKG Limited Edition Print From Artist on Wood Pop Street Graffiti Sports Object Artwork. 2021 Limited Edition Sports Artwork Skateboard Size 8x31 Skateboard Art Deck Printed Art Object Skate Pro John Shanahan x DGK Woman with Cash Stylized Board. Mashups John Shanahan Woman with Cash Skateboard Deck by DGK: Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork on 7-Ply Maple The Mashups John Shanahan Woman with Cash Skateboard Deck by DGK is a visual and cultural statement that transforms a high-performance sports object into an emblem of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2021, this limited edition board measures 8 inches wide by 31 inches long and is constructed from premium 7-ply maple with assorted stain veneers. The deck features a full bottom graphic and top screen graphics that reflect the raw energy and cultural symbolism associated with the DGK brand and the visual world of professional skateboarder John Shanahan. With an image that blends money, fashion, and bold character design, this art deck offers more than surface appeal—it communicates a language tied to status, rebellion, and urban authenticity. Visual Composition and Symbolic Weight of the Graphic The board’s graphic showcases a stylized woman with turquoise hair, purple nails, and heavily tattooed hands flashing stacks of hundred-dollar bills. Her expression is unapologetically cool, eyes half-closed in defiant calm. Every detail—from the gold chain and Rolex to the DGK ring—carries connotations of street wealth, hustle, and empowerment. Her hands dominate the foreground, crossing the board vertically in an aggressive but stylish stance. The background fades into a light gradient of icy blue, giving contrast to the vibrancy of her skin tone and clothing. This aesthetic is rooted firmly in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, which often fuses pop culture elements with social commentary. The woman becomes an icon not only of wealth but also of power, attitude, and street-savvy independence. The combination of cartoon-like execution with highly stylized realism gives the piece an edge that places it in the conversation alongside collectible street art prints and wearable pop culture expressions. John Shanahan and DGK: Cultivating Skate Art with an Urban Identity John Shanahan, a key member of the DGK skate team, brings a sharp sense of style and cultural awareness to everything he does. Known for his fashion-driven vintage skate aesthetic, Shanahan's influence is evident in the board’s visual attitude. DGK, founded by Stevie Williams, has always been about storytelling through street reality, and this deck is no exception. The endorsement of a board like this by Shanahan affirms its authenticity within both skateboarding and artistic communities. As a rider who bridges throwback sensibilities with progressive talent, Shanahan’s collaboration with DGK continues to enrich the narrative of skateboard design as an art form grounded in resistance, grit, and individuality. This piece not only rides under his name but embodies the lifestyle and culture he represents. Skateboard Decks as Modern Canvases in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Mashups John Shanahan Woman with Cash Deck stands as a prime example of how skateboard decks have evolved into platforms for modern art. The 7-ply maple construction is built for durability and performance, but the printed surface transforms it into a dynamic art object. The full graphic bottom functions like a mural—portable, bold, and publicly displayed in motion. When not skated, the deck becomes a wall-mounted statement that captures the spirit of contemporary art that lives on the streets. The fusion of iconography, cultural critique, and fashion attitude all rolled into one visual burst positions this DGK board squarely in the legacy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where the lines between culture, function, and fine art continue to dissolve.

More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

  • La La Land All Yellow LA Hands Vinyl Art Toy by OG Slick

    OG Slick La La Land All Yellow LA Hands Vinyl Art Toy by OG Slick

    La La Land All Yellow LA Hands Vinyl Art Toy by OG Slick Limited Edition Collectible Sculpture Figure Fine Artwork by Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2024 Signed Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 8x8 New In Box Spray Paint Tagged/Signed Box Vinyl Fine Art Toy Figure Sculpture. La La Land All Yellow LA Hands by OG Slick: Vinyl Symbolism in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork La La Land All Yellow LA Hands is a 2024 limited edition vinyl sculpture created by OG Slick, issued in a run of 300 hand-signed pieces. This 8x8 inch art toy is presented in a custom yellow box adorned with Slick’s iconic smiley face logo and features a matching sculpture where two gloved hands twist into the iconic LA gesture. The hands are rendered in a vibrant matte yellow finish, each with its own set of facial features, blending a sculptural interpretation of West Coast identity with OG Slick’s established visual language. Bold, expressive, and rooted in cultural reference, the piece functions as both a collectible and a fine art object, representing a convergence of character-driven pop imagery and the subversive wit of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Form, Gesture, and Cultural Iconography The sculpture captures the hand sign for Los Angeles—a street-coded symbol of regional pride—recast as a toy-sized monument to urban culture. OG Slick fuses cartoon hands, often seen in his graphic works, into a compact, abstract form that reads instantly while remaining playful. Each hand has a distinct smiley face—slick, cheerful, and minimalist—distorting traditional cartoon symbolism into a more ambiguous form of expression. The gesture is familiar but exaggerated, its contorted limbs lending it character and physical rhythm. From one angle, it reads like a greeting; from another, it reflects defiance, allegiance, and self-branding. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, the LA hands become more than just anatomy—they become a sculpted language of identity, coded geography, and expressive abstraction. OG Slick’s Role in Defining West Coast Visual Culture OG Slick, a graffiti pioneer and cultural architect, has long used iconography like the gloved hand and smiley face to remix the history of American pop imagery. His LA Hands motif originated in wall art and prints before evolving into three-dimensional form. The All Yellow version pays tribute to color psychology, optimism, and the brash visibility of West Coast street aesthetics. It’s not just the shape that speaks—it’s the color, the gloss, and the intention behind each design element. Slick’s sculptural work continues to expand his practice beyond the wall, into the realms of object-based storytelling, where the form is both message and medium. This piece, though rooted in simplicity, carries decades of graffiti lineage, youth culture, and icon-driven rebellion. Limited Edition Vinyl as Graffiti-Inspired Fine Art Each La La Land All Yellow LA Hands figure is signed and comes in a box marked with OG Slick’s spray tag, elevating the toy to the status of a collectible art sculpture. The box and figure function as a unified artwork, referencing pop consumer packaging while refusing mass-produced anonymity. With only 300 pieces in existence, every figure becomes part of a larger narrative—one of legacy, regional pride, and street-influenced minimalism. The vinyl construction allows for smooth curves and flawless surface treatment, yet the expression remains distinctly raw. In the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this object operates as a compact urban sculpture—a piece of LA identity stylized, remixed, and frozen in vinyl form. It represents a fusion of play and power, where hands speak, smiles lie, and the message depends on the angle you view it from.

Arm Hand & Fist
Graffiti and street art have long been a powerful medium of expression, breaking the boundaries of traditional art forms by allowing artists to showcase their talent in urban landscapes. A popular motif seen in graffiti and street art prints is the human hand, fist, and arm. These artistic representations can evoke a myriad of emotions, spark conversations, and be visually captivating. The hand, fist, and arm are often used as symbols of unity, resistance, and empowerment. In graffiti and street art prints, they represent the collective power of the people, defying the forces that seek to oppress and silence them. The clenched fist, in particular, has become an iconic symbol of solidarity, transcending racial, cultural, and geographical boundaries. Artists often incorporate these elements into their work, sometimes in the form of stencils, murals, or wheatpaste prints. One notable example of such representation is the world-famous mural "The Power of a United Fist" painted in the 1980s in a historically significant district of San Francisco. The piece features an enormous fist made up of multiple hands, illustrating the strength of unity in the face of adversity. This mural has since inspired countless other works of street art and has become an integral part of the global movement for social justice. In addition to their symbolic nature, hands, fists, and arms can also bring a sense of dynamism and movement to street art prints. The inherent intricacies of these body parts offer artists a unique opportunity to showcase their skills, as well as to convey emotions, thoughts, or stories. For instance, an outstretched arm reaching for the sky can symbolize aspiration or defiance, while hands touching or interlocking can signify connection and support. Moreover, the art of handstyle, or the technique of creating stylized lettering using one's hands, is a fundamental component of graffiti culture. Derived from calligraphy and sign painting, handstyles are often characterized by fluid lines, varying thicknesses, and elaborate flourishes. In this context, the hand itself becomes an essential tool for creating unique and captivating graffiti prints, often distinguishing one artist from another based on the distinctiveness of their individual style. An interesting aspect of hand, fist, and arm depictions in graffiti art is the fusion of different styles and mediums. Artists may incorporate elements of pop culture, political imagery, or personal experiences to add depth and context to their work. In doing so, they not only capture the essence of a specific moment in time but also invite viewers to explore and interpret the art based on their perspectives. Some notable graffiti artists who have expertly utilized the hand, fist, and arm motif in their work include Shepard Fairey, known for his "Obey Giant" series, and the mysterious British street artist Banksy, who has incorporated these symbols in several of his thought-provoking pieces. Both artists have successfully used these elements to make their work resonate with audiences around the world, while still retaining a sense of authenticity and cultural relevance. The hand, fist, and arm serve as powerful motifs in graffiti and street art prints, symbolizing resistance, unity, and empowerment. The versatility of these elements enables artists to create striking visuals that spark conversations, challenge societal norms, and offer a glimpse into the minds of the creators. As graffiti and street art continue to evolve and expand their reach, we can anticipate that these symbols will remain an integral part of the genre, captivating audiences and inspiring future generations of artists.
