Accompanying the book is a signed and numbered archival print, an 8 x 8-inch photograph Diaz took, offering a visual narrative that complements the written word. The realm of modern street pop art and graffiti artwork is ever-evolving, often blurring the lines between an art piece and a historical document. The "SAMO©…SINCE 1978..."

Each item is a piece of memorabilia and a slice of the artistic journey that Diaz has embarked upon. Notably, the set has a blue marker and a signed letter of authenticity, sealing its value as a collectible. Al Diaz's contributions to the graffiti art scene are deeply etched into the cultural fabric of urban art. His work, especially the SAMO© tag, co-created with the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, has become a symbol of street art's DIY ethos and provocative nature. This Deluxe Collectors Set does not merely reflect Diaz's artistic footprint; it serves as a conduit for the stories, the era, and the movement that SAMO© represents. Legacy of the SAMO© Tag The legacy of the SAMO© tag immortalized in this Deluxe Collectors Set is multifaceted. It's a testament to the power of words and images in the public domain, a reminder of street art's transitory yet impactful nature. The tag's cryptic messages once sparked curiosity and dialogue among passersby on New York's streets. Through this set, they continue instigating thought and appreciation among collectors and art enthusiasts. In essence, the "SAMO©…SINCE 1978..." Deluxe Collectors Set by Al Diaz is more than just an item of monetary value; it is an essential piece for anyone interested in the history and evolution of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

  • Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature AP Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew

    Mark Drew Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature AP Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew

    Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature A.P. Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Artwork & Graffiti. A.P. Artist Proof 2018 Signed & A.P. Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 11.73.x16.5 Exploring Urban Narratives in Mark Drew's Screen Print "Guard Your Grill Naughty by Nature" is a compelling silkscreen print by artist Mark Drew, encapsulating street culture's raw energy and ethos. As an Artist Proof from 2018, this hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper signifies a limited edition run that captures the essence of the crossover between street art, graffiti, and pop culture. The artwork, sized 11.73 x 16.5 inches, is marked with the artist's signature and the distinctive A.P., asserting its status as a rare and valuable proof within the edition. This piece is a testament to Drew's mastery in combining textual and visual narratives to create a piece that is as evocative as it is aesthetically striking. The print's title, "Guard Your Grill," references a song by the hip-hop group Naughty by Nature, suggesting a theme of vigilance and resilience. Drew's work often delves into the lexicon of hip-hop, bringing its language into a visual format that resonates with a broad audience. Combining these lyrics with imagery reminiscent of classic comic strips indicates the artist's signature approach to Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, where he bridges generational and cultural gaps to offer commentary on contemporary society. Mark Drew's Artistic Process and Cultural Impact Mark Drew's artistic process involves carefully balancing handcrafted techniques and thematic street and pop culture exploration. The screen printing process, a favorite among street and pop artists for its ability to produce vibrant, clean lines, allows Drew to create modern and timeless works. The Artist Proof designation of "Guard Your Grill" underscores the meticulous nature of Drew's practice; these proofs are typically pulled before the main edition to ensure the quality of the print, and often, they are kept by the artists themselves or sold as highly collectible items. Drew's integration of hip-hop lyricism into his work does more than pay homage to the genre; it serves as a medium for cultural commentary. By selecting phrases from hip-hop culture and integrating them into visual motifs from mid-20th-century comics, Drew fosters a dialogue between past and present, highbrow and lowbrow, and the mainstream and the marginal. This dialogue is a defining characteristic of Street Pop Art, where the interplay of different cultural elements can lead to a deeper understanding of the issues at hand. The cultural impact of Drew's work is significant. By immortalizing hip-hop's language within the framework of visual art, Drew preserves and honors the music genre's cultural significance while expanding the conversation around it. His pieces, including "Guard Your Grill," function as cultural artifacts that capture the spirit of their time while providing a lens through which future generations can understand the historical context of the 90s hip-hop movement. Drew continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of Street Pop Art and Graffiti through his art, ensuring its relevance and accessibility to a diverse and global audience.

A ten-color screen print on archival art paper with hand finish paint splatter. Each screen print is on hand-torn archival art paper, signed and numbered, with a thumbprint on the back. Mr Brainwash's Ode to Optimism: "Speak from the Heart- Life is Beautiful" In 2018, Mr Brainwash, the pseudonym of Thierry Guetta, released a limited edition piece that captured the essence of street pop art and contemporary culture's fascination with the interplay of text and image. "Speak from the Heart- Life is Beautiful" is a hand-pulled, 10-color HPM embellished silkscreen print on hand-deckled fine art paper. It is a vibrant testament to positivity, with only 25 pieces signed and numbered by the artist. The artwork, sized at an impressive 44x36 inches, features a neon light series edition print with a warm glow and an inviting message. The Intersection of Street Art and Fine Art in Mr Brainwash's Work Mr Brainwash has been a controversial figure in the art world, straddling the line between street art's raw authenticity and the commercial appeal of pop art. "Speak from the Heart- Life is Beautiful" exemplifies this fusion, combining the tactile nature of silkscreen printing with the refined aesthetic of fine art. The work's bold, neon-inspired aesthetic harkens back to the heyday of pop art while maintaining a modern edge that resonates with today's audience. The addition of hand-finished paint splatter over the silkscreen print adds depth and texture, ensuring that each piece in the series maintains a unique character. This technique nods to the spontaneity and imperfection celebrated in street art, where the environment often plays a role in creating the artwork. Mr Brainwash's Signature Style and Philosophical Underpinnings The neon light effect achieved in "Speak from the Heart- Life is Beautiful" is not just a visual choice; it's a philosophical statement. Neon lights, often associated with the hustle and bustle of city life, become a symbol of hope and beauty in Mr Brainwash's hands. The message "Life is Beautiful" is both an affirmation and a directive, encouraging viewers to embrace life with all its complexities and to find beauty in every moment. This piece also features Mr Brainwash's trademark thumbprint on the back, a personal touch that has become part of his artistic signature. It represents the artist's hand in the creation process and serves as a seal of authenticity for collectors. "Speak from the Heart- Life is Beautiful" by Mr. Brainwash is a striking example of how street pop art and graffiti have evolved into mediums that blend street and gallery lines. With its hand-crafted quality, limited edition status, and poignant message, the piece continues to spread its optimistic message to audiences worldwide, embodying the spirit of pop art's capacity to communicate and connect through bold and direct means.

    Shepard Fairey- OBEY Chuck D Black Steel Large Format Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY

    Chuck D Black Steel Large Format Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2018 Signed by Sheppard Fairey Janette Beckman and Chuck D. Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 24x36 Silkscreen Print of Music Rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy & Prophets of Rage. "Chuck D has long been a hero of mine as founder and lead rapper of Public Enemy, as an outspoken social and political voice, as an activist, and now as co-vocalist of Prophets of Rage. I’m always looking for excuses to collaborate with Chuck and celebrate his influence on me and culture in general, so I was very happy to work with him and Janette Beckman, whose hip-hop and punk photography I’ve loved for years. With the 30 year anniversary of Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back” coming up on June 28, I decided one of Janette’s photos of Chuck from that time would be great for me to illustrate as a tribute to my favorite MC and my favorite hip-hop album of all time. If you don’t own Public Enemy’s “It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back,” learn what music at the pinnacle of it’s sonic, political, and revolutionary potential can be. Proceeds from this print will go to Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE). All prints signed by Shepard, Janette Beckman and Chuck D. Thanks for the inspiration Chuck!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY The intertwining of music and visual art finds a compelling expression in Shepard Fairey's "Chuck D Black Steel Large Format Silkscreen Print," a piece that stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of hip-hop's powerful voices. Released in 2018, this limited edition artwork is a collaboration that features the iconic presence of Chuck D, frontman of the seminal hip-hop group Public Enemy, captured through the lens of renowned photographer Janette Beckman, and reinterpreted by Fairey's distinct graphic style. This particular print celebrates a momentous occasion—the 30th anniversary of Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back"—heralded as one of hip-hop's most influential albums. Fairey, known for his "OBEY" campaign and his significant role in pop culture and street art, often infuses his work with social and political commentary, echoing the ethos of Chuck D's artistry. His choice of Beckman's photograph for the illustration is deliberate, acknowledging her impact on hip-hop culture through her visual documentation. The collaboration between Fairey, Beckman, and Chuck D in creating this silkscreen print embodies a fusion of talents that pays homage to the past while making a statement in the present. The artwork features a black and white depiction of Chuck D, with a backdrop of words and images that echo the messages conveyed through his music—resistance, empowerment, and the fight against injustice. The print, sized 24x36 inches, was hand-pulled on cream speckletone fine art paper, further enhancing its tactile quality and exclusivity with a limited run of 300 signed and numbered editions. Fairey's decision to direct the proceeds from this print to the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) aligns with the social advocacy inherent in Chuck D's music. This move not only celebrates hip-hop's cultural significance but also its potential for driving social change. The convergence of music, art, and activism in this silkscreen print underscores hip-hop's position as a vehicle for social commentary, with artists like Chuck D leading the charge and figures like Shepard Fairey amplifying the message through visual mediums. This piece is not just a collectible but serves as a narrative, an intersection where art meets the profound voices of a movement, continuing to inspire and provoke thought in a manner that is emblematic of both pop art and street art sensibilities.

For this show, I want to create an exhibition that I could only pull off with Inner State & 1xRUN. In order to do that I took full advantage of the tools and technology that they have in their on-site studio. From silkscreen reproduction to hand-embellished prints, to laser cut editions, this show will truly push the boundary of the kind of artwork I've created and explore the merging of art and commerce,” Chueh said while working in from his Los Angeles studios.

Exploring the Fusion of Street and Pop Art in Mr. Brainwash's Limited Edition Print In the dynamic world of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, few pieces capture the essence of this vibrant art form as compellingly as Mr. Brainwash's limited edition hand-embellished print titled "It's Your Birthday." This unique artwork is the brainchild of Thierry Guetta, known in the art world as Mr. Brainwash, a moniker that reflects his provocative approach to art. Guetta is a renowned figure in the street art scene, often blurring the boundaries between popular culture and street art to create pieces that resonate with a modern audience. The "It's Your Birthday" print is a striking example of Guetta's distinctive style, often incorporating street and pop art elements. Produced in 2018, this limited edition features a 1-color silkscreen and acrylic paint print on hand-deckled fine art paper. It is a prime example of how graffiti art transcends the confines of urban walls and becomes a celebrated form of contemporary fine art. This print is especially notable for its hand-finishing, a touch that adds a unique flair to each piece in the edition. The hand-embellished aspect means that no two prints are exactly alike, as each contains subtle variations applied personally by the artist. This human touch is a testament to the street art ethos, where the artist's direct interaction with their medium is paramount. Mr. Brainwash's Technique and Artistic Vision Mr. Brainwash's technique combines fearless graffiti-style mark-making with sophisticated silkscreen processes. By choosing a single-color screen print for "It's Your Birthday," Guetta showcases his ability to create depth and dimension with minimal elements. The boldness of the black ink against the texture of the fine art paper accentuates the contrast inherent in his work, reflecting the stark realities of street art set against the often-polished world of pop culture. The subject of the print, a vintage Polaroid camera, encapsulates Guetta's fascination with nostalgia and iconography. Cameras are recurring motifs in his oeuvre, symbolizing moments captured in time, much like street art, which captures the moment's zeitgeist. In this print, the camera is not just a piece of technology but a portal to the past, inviting viewers to ponder the fleeting nature of art and life. "HPM" in the artwork's title refers to "Hand-Painted Multiples," indicating that this print is part of a select group of works that have been individually touched by the artist's hand. This process elevates the print from a mere reproduction to a unique piece of art, merging pop art's reproducibility with street art's singular nature. The Impact and Significance of "It's Your Birthday" in Modern Art "It's Your Birthday" is more than just a piece of artwork; it's a statement. With an edition size of only 30, it underscores the exclusivity that often accompanies fine art while also paying homage to the more democratic and accessible nature of street art. This balance of accessibility and exclusivity has become a hallmark of Mr. Brainwash's approach, allowing him to maintain a foothold in the high art and famous culture arenas. Furthermore, this print's release in 2018 signifies a period where street art was increasingly being recognized in the higher echelons of the art world. Galleries and collectors, who once might have scoffed at the notion of street art as a legitimate form, were beginning to acknowledge its impact and significance. The size of the artwork, 50x38 inches, commands attention and space, just as street art demands the viewer's attention in the urban landscape. Its size allows the details and hand-finished touches to stand out, enabling the viewer to engage with the work intimately despite its bold presence. Legacy and Collectability of Mr. Brainwash's Work Collectors of Mr. Brainwash's work are drawn to pieces like "It's Your Birthday" for their visual appeal and investment potential. As a limited edition, signed and numbered by the artist, this print represents a coveted asset in the art market. The fact that it is framed adds a layer of value, preserving the integrity of the artwork and enhancing its display quality. The legacy of "It's Your Birthday" lies in its ability to encapsulate the essence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. By merging street art's rebellious spirit with pop art's mass appeal, Guetta creates a familiar and challenging visual language. This piece is a powerful representation of contemporary art's evolution and the blurring lines between different art movements and cultural commentary.

    Little Big Man- Black On Red Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper Deckled Edges by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Pop Art Artwork. 2018 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Cleon Peterson (b. 1973) Little Big Man (Black on Red), 2018 Screenprint in colors on Coventry Rag paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 149/150 Signed and numbered in pencil along lower edge Published by the artist "Little Big Man Black On Red" is a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, an American artist known for his bold, graphic style and provocative themes. Peterson's work often explores the darker aspects of human nature, such as violence, power struggles, and societal chaos. His art is heavily influenced by his experiences with drug addiction and recovery, which give his work a unique perspective on the human condition. In "Little Big Man Black On Red," Peterson employs his signature high-contrast color palette, featuring black figures puppeteering President Donald Trump set against a bright red/orange background. The silkscreen print depicts a chaotic scene of figures engaged in various acts of violence and domination. This piece is part of a larger body of work by Peterson, which often addresses themes of power dynamics and the cyclical nature of violence. As a silkscreen print, "Little Big Man Black On Red" is produced using a stencil-based printing process. In this method, an artist creates a stencil, or screen, for each color layer in the artwork. Ink is then pushed through the screen onto a surface, such as paper or canvas. This process allows for the creation of multiple identical prints, which are typically produced in limited editions and signed by the artist. The silkscreen technique is often used by artists for its ability to produce bold, vibrant colors and clean, sharp lines, which are evident in Peterson's striking compositions.

Black & White Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Contrast and Culture: Black & White in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork

Defining Visual Language with Black & White

In the visually saturated world of street pop art and graffiti, the use of black and white stands out for its stark simplicity and profound impact. These foundational colors form a visual language that is classic and contemporary, shaping the narrative of urban landscapes. Artists have long utilized the striking contrast between black and white to convey complex messages, create dramatic visuals, and draw viewers into a dialogue that transcends the need for color.

Black & White: Aesthetic Choices with Purpose

The aesthetic choice to use black and white in street pop art and graffiti is not merely a stylistic one; it is often laden with purpose. Black and white can symbolize the binary oppositions of life, such as light and dark, day and night, or the dualities within society and the self. In street pop art, this dichotomy can reflect the artist's commentary on social issues, personal identity, or cultural narratives. The absence of color forces the viewer to focus on the subject, the form, and the subtleties of shade and tone that might otherwise be overlooked.

Technique and Texture in Monochromatic Art

Technically, working with black and white requires mastery over shade, tone, and texture. Artists manipulate these elements to create depth and dimension without relying on the crutch of color. The interplay of light and shadow becomes critical, with the gradations between pure black and pure white providing a spectrum of grays that add complexity to the pieces. Texturally, black and white can range from the smooth, clean lines of precise stenciling to the rough, expressive strokes of freehand spray painting.

Cultural Symbolism in Black & White Artwork

Culturally, black and white artwork carries a timeless symbolism. In the context of street pop art and graffiti, it can represent the raw, unfiltered expression stripped of the distractions of color. This monochromatic scheme is often associated with the past, invoking a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously being seen as modern and forward-thinking. The simplicity of black and white allows for universality in the artwork, enabling it to cross cultural and socioeconomic boundaries.

Composition and Clarity in Urban Canvases

Compositionally, black and white provide clarity and focus in an urban canvas cluttered with competing stimuli. Artists use these colors to direct attention, emphasize details, and balance the visual weight within their artwork. The starkness of black against white creates a visual punch that can make even the most subtle designs stand out. In large-scale murals, this contrast can create a visual anchor, drawing the community's attention and often becoming a landmark within the neighborhood. 

Black & White in the Evolution of Street Art

As street art evolves, the role of black and white remains central. These colors have been used historically in photography and film to convey a stripped-down reality, and street artists have adopted this tradition to cut through the city's noise. Black and white also have a practical advantage; they are often more resistant to fading and weathering, ensuring the longevity of the artwork. This durability makes black and white a suitable choice for artists who want their work to endure in the public space. In the vibrant realms of street pop art and graffiti, black and white are more than mere colors—they are tools for visual storytelling, emotional impact, and symbols for cultural commentary. The use of black and white challenges artists to explore the essentials of form, composition, and contrast, creating artwork that has the power to engage, provoke, and inspire across generations and geographies. In the monochromatic shades of black and white, the urban canvas finds its voice, and the streets become a gallery of human experience, etched in the most fundamental palettes.
