    Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever Limited Edition Fine Art Blotter Paper Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Modern Pop Artist Copyright. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 35 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2022 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever by Copyright: Icons, Psychedelia, and Modern Myth in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever is a 2022 limited edition archival pigment print created by the UK-based modern pop artist Copyright. Produced in an edition of just 35 and measuring 7.5 x 7.5 inches, this fine art piece is printed on perforated blotter paper, a material long associated with psychedelic counterculture. The edition is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, reinforcing its ties to underground and rebellious creative traditions. Copyright, known for fusing pop iconography with layered social critique, constructs a visual kaleidoscope that blurs the boundaries between commercial art, psychedelia, and romantic symbolism. The artwork’s format—archival pigment print on blotter—is as intentional as the imagery itself, merging printmaking craftsmanship with the aesthetic of outlaw spirit. Visual Archetypes and Cultural Overload At the core of the artwork is a cyan-hued portrait of Marilyn Monroe, reimagined in a Warholian color palette and stylized with dripping paint, bold outlines, and floral embellishments. Her face is overlaid with layered graphics: the word Forever in sparkling pink script, a skull adorned with petals, butterflies, and a tattoo-style heart that reads Love. Above her, comic book text explodes in Whaam, while Mickey Mouse gestures into the frame, acting both as a witness and a participant in the chaos. This collage of commercial characters, romance clichés, and subversive symbols creates a disorienting and emotionally saturated composition. In the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, the piece uses universally recognized figures to dissect the artificial constructs of fame, memory, mortality, and branding. Material Legacy and Psychedelic Format The choice of blotter paper as the printing substrate is a deliberate reference to 1960s and 1970s psychedelic art, where LSD tabs often featured graphic micro-images. While this artwork does not serve a functional purpose in that context, the use of perforated sheets draws a clear line to underground culture and mind-expansion aesthetics. The archival pigment printing process ensures color accuracy, longevity, and fine detail, lending a museum-quality finish to a material traditionally deemed ephemeral or illicit. The 7.5 x 7.5 inch size encourages up-close viewing, highlighting the pixel-level texture of the perforation grid beneath the imagery. This contrast between the sacred and the disposable adds a layer of tension to the print’s message—suggesting that contemporary mythologies are as fragile as they are omnipresent. Copyright’s Role in the Remix Tradition Copyright is a UK street pop artist who continually reimagines the familiar through a lens of distortion, nostalgia, and rebellion. Blending elements of graffiti culture, fashion advertising, fine art, and pop media, his works function as remix archives of collective memory. Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever distills his approach into one saturated square, drawing upon the semiotics of love, death, sex, capitalism, and escapism to create a maximalist meditation on cultural saturation. The inclusion of characters like Mickey and Monroe acts as both homage and critique—icons who once promised happiness and now haunt the very systems they helped define. In the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this piece asserts itself as a colorful explosion of conflicted worship, where beauty meets decay and permanence is found in the disposable.

Butterfly Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Butterflies: Symbols of Transformation in Street Art

The butterfly, with its vivid colors and transformative lifecycle, has long been a motif in various art forms, including street pop art and graffiti artwork. In the urban landscape, these delicate creatures are depicted on concrete canvases, bringing a juxtaposition of nature's ephemeral beauty to the often harsh city environments. Artists use butterflies to symbolize change, hope, and rebirth, themes that resonate deeply in communities that witness the constant flux of city life. This symbolism is powerful in street art, where the transient nature of murals and graffiti echoes the butterfly's metamorphosis. Butterflies in street art often appear as bursts of color amidst the gray tones of urban structures, serving as reminders of the natural world within the man-made. They draw the eyes of passersby, inviting contemplation on the endurance of beauty and the cycle of life amidst the everyday. Street artists may also employ butterflies to speak on environmental issues, bringing attention to the fragility of ecosystems and the need for conservation.

Street Art's Embrace of the Butterfly

The adoption of the butterfly in street art represents a broader trend in the movement towards integrating natural elements into urban art spaces. Artists have taken this symbol and adapted it to speak on personal and societal levels, whether it's addressing personal growth or wider cultural changes. The butterfly motif is versatile, lending itself to various interpretations and styles, from photorealistic depictions to stylized, abstract renditions. The presence of butterfly imagery in street pop art also reflects the growing recognition of this art form's potential to communicate complex messages and to engage with audiences on an emotional level. Murals featuring butterflies have the power to transform the walls they adorn, much like the metamorphosis of the butterfly itself. These artworks often become beloved community landmarks, appreciated not only for their aesthetic value but also for their deeper meanings.

Legacy of the Butterfly in Urban Artistic Expression

The butterfly's role in street pop art and graffiti is not merely decorative; it carries with it the legacy of transformation and the enduring spirit of nature in the face of urban development. Artists who incorporate butterfly imagery into their work are often seen as champions of the environment, advocates for change, and poets of the street, using their brushes and cans to weave stories of resilience and revival. As urban landscapes continue to evolve, the butterfly stands as a testament to the enduring human need for connection to nature and to the transformative power of art. The butterfly in street pop art and graffiti artwork serves as a symbol of hope and a reminder of the ever-present possibility for renewal, both in our surroundings and within ourselves. It is a motif that captures the imagination, encourages conservation, and inspires a sense of wonder, making it a significant and cherished element in the world of street art.
