Both artists, distinct in their style and impact on the urban art scene, decided to come together for a limited edition release that drew attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. This exceptional partnership resulted in the creation of the " David with Machine Gun" silkscreen print, an artwork that expertly fuses their individual artistic sensibilities.

The piece measures 18x24 inches, making it a substantial representation of their combined artistry. What makes this collaboration even more intriguing is its connection to Blek le Rat's solo exhibition at Subliminal Projects titled "Art is Not Peace." The print is a visual interpretation of Sybille Prou’s photographs of Blek Le Rat's iconic street art. These photographs served as an inspiration, capturing the raw energy and aesthetic of urban art that both artists have dedicated their careers to championing. The blending of Shepard Fairey's graphic style with the subtlety and nuance of Blek le Rat’s stencil work is a testament to the transformative power of collaborative art.

After Dark Archival Print by Jessica Hess Limited Edition on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 24x20 Archival Pigment Fine Art  The Allure of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork have emerged as vibrant staples in modern art galleries, embodying the pulsating energy and raw expression of urban environments. These forms of artistic expression have transcended their rebellious origins to be celebrated in high-end art markets and esteemed exhibitions. Among the artists who have championed this movement, Jessica Hess stands out with her meticulous renditions of graffiti and urban landscapes. Her works, such as the "After Dark Archival Print," continue to dazzle collectors and enthusiasts with their attention to detail and striking visual narratives. Jessica Hess: A Modern Chronicler of the Urban Canvas Jessica Hess, an American artist, brings the ephemeral nature of street art into a permanent state through her archival prints. The limited-edition "After Dark" print is a testament to her ability to capture the raw essence of street culture. Created on 290gsm Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, this artwork demonstrates the delicate balance between graffiti's impermanence and fine art's longevity. Born in the United States, Hess is still active in the art scene, contributing to the contemporary narrative of street-inspired artworks. Her skillful hands translate the graffiti-splashed walls into works that command contemplation and admiration. The "After Dark" print is particularly notable for portraying the urban landscape as a canvas of nocturnal beauty. Limited to a series of 50, each piece is signed and numbered by Hess, offering a sense of exclusivity and connection to the artist's vision. The artwork's size, 24x20, provides a substantial window into the scene, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the detailed interplay of shadows, light, and the vibrant graffiti adoring the city walls. The Intersection of Fine Art and Urban Expression Jessica Hess's "After Dark" print exemplifies the evolution of graffiti from street corners to the white walls of galleries. This shift signifies a broader acceptance and appreciation for street pop art as a legitimate and profound form of fine art. By presenting graffiti in an archival pigment fine art print, Hess not only preserves the fleeting nature of street art but also elevates it to a form that can be reversed over time. The limited edition nature of "After Dark" underscores the fine art world's practice of rarity and collectability, yet the subject matter remains staunchly grounded in the accessible and democratic roots of street art. Hess' approach to capturing these street scenes is more than mere replication; it is an act of homage and preservation. Her fine art prints, including "After Dark," serve as a conduit between the rugged street corners and the polished gallery spaces, enabling a dialogue between two worlds that were once considered opposing forces. This dialogue is essential in the ongoing discourse surrounding the value and impact of street pop and graffiti artwork within the larger art community. In examining "After Dark," one can see a vibrant example of the complex interplay between urban decay and artistic creation. The graffiti is not simply an act of vandalism but a form of self-expression, a voice given to the voiceless, and a color splash against the monochrome fabric of the urban landscape. Hess captures this dynamic through her archival prints, giving it a permanence that street art often lacks. Preservation of the Ephemeral: The Significance of Archival Prints Archival prints like "After Dark" are critical in preserving street art. While the original graffiti may fall victim to weather, city clean-up, or other graffiti artists, Hess' prints offer a way to immortalize the art beyond its physical lifespan. High-quality Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper ensures that the prints resist degradation, allowing the rich colors and intricate details of the original work to endure through the ages. The archival pigment ensures that each print retains the vibrancy and clarity of the original scene, becoming a piece of history itself. The significance of Jessica Hess's work lies in the aesthetic appeal of her prints and in her contribution to documenting and preserving an often transient form of art. "After Dark" and similar works are historical records, capturing a specific moment and place in the ever-changing cityscape. They witness the urban transformations and communication layers etched onto the walls by anonymous artists. The "After Dark Archival Print" by Jessica Hess offers a glimpse into the nuanced world of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, encapsulating the ephemeral nature of street art within the permanence of fine art. Hess's ability to bridge these two worlds in her archival prints elevates the status of street art within the art hierarchy. It preserves the cultural significance of these urban markings for future generations. As limited edition pieces, each print from Hess is a cherished artifact, a piece of urban history, and a testament to the rich dialogue between the streets and the galleries.

Boudica Is Coming to HPM Embellished 6-Color Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid Hand-Pulled on Distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card Limited Edition Artwork. 2018 Signed By Both Artists HPM Acrylic Hand Embellished Stencil & Numbered Limited Edition of 350 Artwork Size 17x25 Silkscreen Print of Queen Boudica on Horse Chariot Next To Skyscraper Building Art Car Boot Fair Edition Hand Distressed Boudica Is Coming: HPM Embellished Silkscreen Print by Jamie Reid and James Cauty The artwork Boudica Is Coming is an exemplary piece in the fusion of street pop art and graffiti-inspired visuals. Created by renowned British artists Jamie Reid and James Cauty, this work is an homage to rebellious iconography and the modern urban landscape. It is a limited edition of 350, hand-pulled on distressed 400gsm Reverse Optimum Grey Card, giving each piece a distinctive texture. Measuring 17x25 inches, the work captures the essence of street art culture while linking it to historical references, most notably through the imagery of Queen Boudica. The Iconography of Boudica in Street Pop Art Boudica, the ancient warrior queen of the Iceni tribe, is a recurring figure in British rebellious iconography. In this particular piece, Reid and Cauty draw a direct line between the defiant spirit of Boudica and the countercultural movements that define much of contemporary street art. She is depicted riding her iconic horse-drawn chariot, wielding strength and power. The juxtaposition of her figure against the backdrop of a modern skyscraper highlights the tension between history and the relentless progress of urbanization. This contrast is a central theme in street pop art, where historical and cultural symbols are frequently re-contextualized in contemporary urban environments. The use of Boudica in this context transforms her from a historical figure into a symbol of ongoing resistance. By placing her against a looming urban tower block, the artists are making a statement about the enduring relevance of rebellion in modern life. This ties into the broader themes of street pop art, where everyday environments, societal norms, and the tension between authority and individualism are challenged. Distressed Aesthetic and Graffiti Influences The aesthetic choices in Boudica Is Coming reflect the rough and gritty style often associated with graffiti artwork. The silkscreen is printed on distressed grey card stock, adding texture and uniqueness to each print. The distressed elements create a worn, almost decaying look, contrasting with the piece's vibrant neon colors. This distressing technique is particularly effective in replicating the look and feel of urban street walls, where posters and graffiti interact with the elements, slowly eroding into new forms. Jamie ReReid'sackground in graphic design and punk rock visuals plays a vital role in the pipiece'sverall composition. His work with the Sex Pistols and his distinctive collage style, which often includes defaced and altered political symbols, resonates throughout this silkscreen. The stencil-like appearance of Boudica and her chariot is reminiscent of street tagging, a nod to graffiti arart'soots. Meanwhile, James Cauty, known for his work with the KLF and as part of the art collective The Grey Organisation, brings a postmodern, dystopian sensibility to the piece. Combining these two artists creates a visual dialogue between rebellion, decay, and the ever-evolving cityscape. Hand-pulled and Hand-Embellished Elements A vital aspect of this edition is its hand-pulled silkscreen printing process. Each print is not just mechanically reproduced but crafted with care, resulting in slight variations between editions, making each piece unique. The silkscreen process, especially in the hands of Reid and Cauty, imbues the work with a tactile quality that draws the viewer in. The bold, almost fluorescent colors demand attention, creating a dynamic contrast between the monochrome tower block and the vibrancy of the lettering and Queen BoBoudica'silhouette. Further enhancing the print is the hand-embellished acrylic stenciling. Each print has been individually embellished by the artists, adding layers of paint extending beyond traditional prints' flatness. This manual intervention by the artists adds depth and texture, reinforcing the sense of the handmade, a cornerstone of street art and graffiti practices. These embellishments ensure that no two prints are exactly alike, adding to the value and collectability of the piece. Queen Boudica in the Urban Landscape The juxtaposition of Queen Boudica against a towering skyscraper is not merely a visual choice but a statement. It speaks to the encroachment of modernity on history, tradition, and natural landscapes. Skyscrapers, often symbols of corporate power and modernity, stand in stark contrast to the ancient, organic power represented by Boudica and her horse-drawn chariot. In this sense, Boudica Is Coming embodies the tension between the past and present, nature and industry, rebellion and order. The use of bold text in the piece, announcing Boudica Is Coming, adds a sense of immediacy and urgency.

St Marks Horses Large Format Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on 260gsm Modigliani Suede Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2009 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 250 Artwork Size 32.3x26.8 Silkscreen Print In 2009, while attending the 53rd Venice Biennale, Shepard Fairey crafted a limited edition print titled "St. Mark's Horses." The creation of this piece took place during the artist's time in Venice. It was made in collaboration with SMS Venice, an organization dedicated to supporting the city's artistic and architectural heritage. This exclusive print consists of 250 editions, each individually signed and numbered by Fairey. Fairey's works are produced in limited edition series, and owning a signed and numbered print can be a valuable addition to any art collection. His unique style and powerful messages have made him one of his generation's most influential street artists. The St. Marks Horses print features Fairey's iconic style, incorporating propaganda, counterculture, and street art elements. The artwork is centered around the depiction of two horses with a St. Mark's reference, which is likely inspired by the Horses of Saint Mark or the Triumphal Quadriga, a set of Roman bronze statues of four horses that were once part of a monument erected in Constantinople and are now located in Venice, Italy.

Factory Stacks- Earth First 6-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 350. "These “Factory Stacks” images combine the austere, angular power of factory architecture with graphic elements commenting on what we promote and embrace as a society even when those things are destructive. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the eco-systems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Greenpeace to fight climate change. Thanks for caring.” – Shepard

Divided We Stand, United We Fall Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Paper by Artist Cleon Peterson Limited Edition Pop Art Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of XXX Artwork Size 18x24 "The TRUTH image ran in the New York Times right before the election in the opinion feature, What Have We Lost. The Devil Made Me Do it & Divided We Stand, United We Fall were both made on January 6th in response to the Faustian bargain that Trump and his accomplices made in designing the coup. Today we find ourselves at a crossroads; now, more than ever, is the time we need to come together, take a stand, exercise our voices, and fight for Truth and Democracy. Hopefully, daylight will cast off this right-wing authoritarian spell. I see these posters as markers of a historical time and feel a duty within to share my views. We’re all exhausted by politics, but we must embrace the moment and take action because the threat is fundamental; our democracy could be gone in the blink of an eye." - Cleon Peterson The connection of Peterson with street art is also an aspect of his work worth mentioning. Even though he has created numerous murals all over the world, the artist himself does consider himself a street artist: “I don’t think of myself as a street artist or somebody that does work in that vein, but I love the idea of doing large paintings that confront people.”. This is revealing of his motivation to make his art as accessible as possible, as a way to invite the viewers to interact with it and confront the subjects the artist is interested in addressing. This brings up the following questions concerning the art of Peterson: “What is the meaning of it? Does it have a meaning after all? If yes, is this pre-determined by the artist? In order to better understand the way meaning is created in the world of Cleon Peterson, it is essential to, primarily, understand the way he perceives the media as a field of allegations, unbased rumors, suppositions and outright lies. In the world that the artist has created and, in correlation with our own reality, media is a tool of manipulation in the hands of politicians, leaving us helpless and in the mercy of an exploitative authoritarian system.

7-Eleven Store Original Dunny Town Art Toy by Task One Kidrobot Vinyl & Plaster Art Toy Collectible Pop Artwork. 2012 Original Dunny Town Painted Plaster Kidrobot Custom Dunny Artwork Size Approximate 3x4 Town 7-Eleven Store Original Dunny Art Toy by Task One Task One's 7-Eleven Store Original Dunny Town Art Toy The "7-Eleven Store Original Dunny Town Art Toy" by Task One is a unique intersection of consumer culture and street pop art, encapsulated in a vinyl art toy collectible. This original art by Task One, released in 2012, is a testament to the artist's skill in blending every day with the extraordinary, thus transforming a familiar urban icon into a piece of collectible pop artwork. The work is a part of the Dunny Town series, which is highly regarded in the vinyl art toy community for its innovative representation of miniature urban landscapes. This piece features the recognizable storefront of a 7-Eleven, a convenience store that dots urban landscapes worldwide, reimagined in the stylized form of a Kidrobot Dunny. It's a work that comments on the ubiquity of consumerism and the way brands imprint themselves on the collective consciousness of society. Task One's craftsmanship is evident in the meticulous details of the piece—from the signboard with the 7-Eleven logo to the tiny rendition of the store's entrance and the miniature trash can beside it. Using plaster to create this custom Dunny artwork adds a textural quality that echoes the tactile nature of street art. Reflection of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in Task One's Dunny The 7-Eleven Dunny by Task One is not just a collectible; it reflects street pop art and graffiti artwork. By selecting a Dunny—a figure that is essentially a blank slate—Task One engages in a dialogue with the pop art tradition of utilizing mass culture and transforming it into high art. With its hand-painted, plaster-modified surface, this piece bridges the gap between the often transient nature of street art and the permanence sought by fine art collectors. The art toy becomes a canvas for social commentary, echoing the voice of graffiti art that often critiques or highlights elements of urban life. Task One's art toy challenges the viewer to reconsider the role and value of commercial objects in art. It's a bold statement on the infiltration of branding in our daily lives, presented through the lens of a street artist. Placing a 7-Eleven on a Dunny characteristically embodies street pop art's playful yet critical spirit, where the mundane is repurposed to serve as a medium for creative expression. In the broader context, the "7-Eleven Store Original Dunny Town Art Toy" exemplifies how artists like Task One redefine the boundaries of art and collectibility. Through the fusion of street art sensibilities with the collectible toy culture, Task One has contributed to the burgeoning art toy movement, which continues to gain momentum and respect within the art community. This piece serves as a poignant piece of Task One's legacy, capturing the essence of his artistic vision and the cultural zeitgeist of the time.

The Lonesome Crowded West Tower Modest Mouse Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 5-Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 825 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print "I’m really happy that Modest Mouse asked me to create some limited edition posters for their tour commemorating the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album The Lonesome Crowded West. I first heard Modest Mouse in 1998. I borrowed a friend’s copy of the album The Lonesome Crowded West, which had come out the year before, and it grew on me quickly to become a favorite. The whole album is great, very multi-dimensional ranging from aggressive and dissonant on songs like “Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine” to folky, jangly, and intimate on “Trailer Trash.” My two favorite songs on The Lonesome Crowded West are “Doin’ the Cockroach,” which builds steadily into an exhilarating staccato guitar frenzy, and the song that follows it, “Cowboy Dan,” which is full of tension, struggle, anger, and beauty. Lyrically, the band’s singer and primary songwriter, Isaac Brock, comes across as an empathetic world-weary sage. I rarely call someone a poet, but Isaac wrote with such depth for someone only 23 years old that I think poet is the only title that properly conveys his elevated craft as a lyricist. I got to do Modest Mouse’s 2000 Black Glass tour poster, which was a huge deal for me." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Marking the 25th anniversary of Modest Mouse's influential album "The Lonesome Crowded West," celebrated street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, crafted a striking limited edition silkscreen print. This 2022 piece, meticulously hand-pulled and comprising five colors on Cream Speckletone fine art paper, mirrors the layered complexity of the album it honors. The work measures 18x24 inches, a testament to the album's monumental impact on the alternative rock scene and Fairey's own artistic journey. Each of the 825 signed and numbered prints encapsulates Fairey's personal connection with the album, having first encountered its raw and eclectic sound in 1998, a year after its release. He describes the album as "multi-dimensional," resonating through its varied tones from the "aggressive and dissonant" to the "folky, jangly, and intimate." His favorite tracks, "Doin’ the Cockroach" and "Cowboy Dan," evoke contrasting emotions of exhilaration and introspective tension, revealing the dexterity of Modest Mouse's music and the profound lyrical skill of frontman Isaac Brock. In this piece, Fairey channels the essence of the album's themes, depicting an isolated tower amidst a vast, red-streaked landscape, symbolizing the album's exploration of urban isolation and the Western American experience. The contrast between the solitary building and the surrounding expanse eloquently captures the album's title, "The Lonesome Crowded West." This visual representation goes beyond mere album art; it is an intersection of Fairey's iconic style and Modest Mouse's sonic influence, bridging visual and auditory art forms. Fairey's engagement with Modest Mouse extends back to their 2000 "Black Glass" tour, for which he also created a poster. This long-standing relationship emphasizes the mutual respect between the artist and the band, illustrating how music and visual art can coalesce to form powerful cultural statements. His artistic expression is not only a tribute to the music but also an homage to Brock's poetic lyrics, which left an indelible impression on Fairey, prompting him to label Brock a true poet. As an influential figure in street art and pop culture, Fairey’s creation for Modest Mouse cements his position at the forefront of contemporary art. It serves as a visual anchor for the album’s legacy, ensuring that its cultural resonance extends into the visual realm. Collectors and fans of both the band and Fairey find in this print a confluence of two forms of rebellion and expression, solidified on paper but echoing far beyond.
