Sidewalk Closed Original Mixed Media Graffiti Artist Modern Pop Art on Real Metal Street Sign by Sonic Bad. 2012 Signed Original Spray Paint & Metal Street Sign Artwork Size 24x18 Depicting 2 1970s-80s Stylized Beat Boys, NYC Graffiti Tags & Bubble Letters on Street Closed Sign Sonic Bad's Ode to the Streets: The 'Sidewalk Closed' Series The 'Sidewalk Closed' artwork by Sonic Bad, an original piece created in 2012, infuses the rebellious spirit of 1970s and 80s street culture into a medium that is emblematic of urban restriction: a real metal street sign. This mixed media work, signed by the artist, is a striking example of how street pop art and graffiti can repurpose public regulatory objects into canvases that challenge and reinterpret their original intent. Reclaiming Urban Symbols in Street Art Sonic Bad's choice of canvas—a metal street sign—turns an everyday symbol of control into a representation of creative liberation. The artwork, sized at 24x18 inches, is vibrant with color and life, presenting a stark contrast to the sign's mundane purpose of demarcating boundaries. By painting over it, Sonic Bad claims the object for art, much like graffiti artists claim walls for their tags and murals. The piece itself is a dynamic collage of NYC graffiti tags and bubble letters, styles deeply rooted in the history of street art. It showcases two stylized beat boys, figures that resonate with the hip-hop culture that was burgeoning on the streets of New York City during the 70s and 80s. These characters are not only representations of a specific era but also symbols of the energy and rhythm of street life. The Visual Language of Graffiti and Its Evolution Sonic Bad's work serves as a visual lexicon of graffiti's evolution, encapsulating the transition from tagging—often a raw, text-based expression of identity—to more complex and stylized works. The 'Sidewalk Closed' series is particularly evocative of this shift, highlighting the movement from simple letterforms to elaborate and colorful representations that are as much about the artistry of the line as they are about the message. The aerosol paint, a medium synonymous with graffiti, brings authenticity to the piece, its drips and opacity echoing the textures of street art seen in the wild. The metal sign, once reflective and directive, becomes muted and textured under layers of paint, a metaphor for the way street art can change the nature and conversation around public spaces and objects. Sonic Bad and the Living History of Street Art Sonic Bad's 'Sidewalk Closed' is more than a singular work; it is part of the living history of street pop art and graffiti artwork. It reflects a time when street culture began to permeate every aspect of urban life, from the music that played out of boomboxes to the art that adorned the walls and sidewalks of the city. This piece is a celebration of that era, a nod to the roots of street art, and a statement on its enduring influence. The artist, by merging nostalgia with contemporary expression, invites onlookers to explore the depth and breadth of street art. Through this work, Sonic Bad not only pays homage to the pioneers of the genre but also places himself within the continuum of artists who have utilized the street as their gallery. His legacy lies in his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, ensuring that the spirit of the streets remains vibrant and visible.

Cacophony Hand-Painted Multiple Archival Pigment Print on 3 Tiers of Laser-Cut Acrylic Panel ready to hang by Eddie Colla Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Laser Cut Acrylic Artwork Size 18x18 "The Goldfish Girl was created almost a decade ago. I often revisit it, and she has been the longest continuing character I've created. I often write backstories for these characters to help me create the pieces, but they are generally never shared with the viewer. The Goldfish Girl was born in mainland China and raised mostly by a single father. Her mother passed away when she was 18 months old from cancer. She was often very ill as a child and was eventually diagnosed with a compromised immune system disorder, although a precise diagnosis was never given. This is the reason for always wearing the mask and gloves. Her father bred Goldfish for a living and taught her that trade as a kid. They worked side by side and rarely had visitors because of her condition. Often being extremely ill and also losing her mother made her childhood difficult. As most children do, she tried to find a reason for her misfortune, a reason for why all this had happened to her and her father. Eventually, she believed that her illness and her mother's cancer were punishment by nature. A curse for toying with nature by breeding goldfish. Eventually, her father passed away as well. Needing to make a living and also to taunt fate she illegally immigrated to Hong Kong. There is a famous goldfish market in Mong Kok on Tung Choi street, but it's commonly called goldfish street. With a compromised immune system the most dangerous thing to her was other people. As a challenge to fate, she moved to one of the most densely populated cities in the world. She got a stall on Tung Choi Street. This is her challenge, to taunt fate and win, becoming the master of her own fate. These images are vignettes of her life in Hong Kong. I've never given the character a name. Sometimes she is pictured with a boombox because music becomes a central companion to her mostly solitary life. In the piece Cacophony I wanted her to literally be surrounded by the city. In some way, I think I tried to create a character that embodied a lot of traits I aspire to. To remind me.” - Eddie Colla

Stand Alone Original Mixed Media Painting Graffiti Artist Modern Pop Art on Real Metal Street Sign by Chris RWK. 2022 Signed Original Mixed Media Acrylic & Spray Paint on Real 18x18 School Zone Street Sign. Chris RWK's Stand Alone: A New Dimension of Street Sign Art In the vibrant landscape of modern pop art and graffiti artwork, Chris RWK (real name Chris Roberts), an artist from New York, presents a compelling twist on the genre with his creation "Stand Alone." This piece, a signed original mixed media painting completed in 2022, defies conventional street art norms by utilizing an actual 18x18 school zone street sign as its canvas. The artwork's foundation in the natural and practical – a metal sign designed to impart rules – becomes a statement of artistic rebellion and creative liberation. The Fusion of Mediums in Chris RWK's Work "Stand Alone" is an innovative meld of acrylic and spray paint, mediums that have long been staples in the street artist's toolkit. By applying them to a metal street sign, Chris RWK bridges the gap between the everyday street objects we often overlook and the expressive potential they hold. His robot-like character, a recurring motif in his work, is depicted with a simplicity that speaks to childhood innocence, juxtaposed against the backdrop of an adult world filled with regulations and restrictions. The duality of this piece – the playful imagery against the stern, directive nature of a street sign – invites contemplation on the push and pull between the structured world we navigate and the imaginative freedom we often yearn for. This tension is at the heart of street pop art, where the mundane is transformed into the extraordinary. Embracing the Ordinary: The Iconography of Chris RWK In "Stand Alone," the ordinary is embraced and celebrated. Chris RWK elevates an ordinary street sign to a piece of art that can communicate complex emotions and ideas. The robot figure, often interpreted as a stand-in for the human experience, is portrayed alongside a heart symbol – a universal expression of love and connection. This simple yet profound imagery speaks to the artist's ability to find depth in simplicity, a hallmark of his broader body of work. The use of real-world objects in art is not new, but Chris RWK recontextualizes this approach within the framework of street pop art, inviting the viewer to see the potential for art in all things. Once a directive object, the street sign becomes a canvas for reflection, a medium through which the artist can connect with the audience on a personal level. Chris RWK's "Stand Alone" is a standout piece within the domain of graffiti artwork and modern pop art. It captures the essence of street art's transformative power, turning a mundane object into a source of artistic expression and commentary. As viewers encounter this piece, they are reminded that art is not confined to galleries or murals on building walls – it can emerge from the most unexpected places, offering new perspectives on the familiar fixtures of our everyday lives.

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! Dude is he Tagging? Giclee Print by Priest Corp Artwork Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Cold Pressed Cotton Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 23x18 Silkscreen of DC Comic Book Hero Super Man Looking Out Over The Top of the City Skyscrapers as Helicopters Surround Him Flanked By Urban Graffiti Priest Corp Artwork’s limited edition giclee print titled "It's a Bird! It's a Plane! Dude is he Tagging?" stands as a striking testament to the enduring interplay between pop culture and street art. Dated 2023 and released as a limited run of just 50 pieces, this artwork is exquisitely printed on 290gsm cold pressed cotton fine art paper, which not only ensures longevity but also showcases the rich, vibrant hues of the silkscreen in exquisite detail. The visual narrative unfolds atop a cityscape, with DC Comic’s legendary superhero, Superman, positioned as the central figure. He is seen overlooking the vastness of the city's skyscrapers, a sentinel of justice and hope. This iconic imagery of Superman is, however, juxtaposed with elements emblematic of urban life. Helicopters encircle him, creating a dynamic tension in the composition, hinting at an urgency or perhaps an unfolding event. Yet, what truly accentuates the contemporary theme is the surrounding graffiti. This unexpected infusion of street art challenges traditional comic iconography, suggesting a dialogue between the vigilance of superheroes and the voices of urban artists. By merging the iconic imagery of Superman with the raw expressionism of graffiti, Priest Corp Artwork underscores the evolving nature of both pop and street art. It's a reflection on how classic symbols from our popular consciousness can be reimagined and recontextualized within the fabric of urban narratives. This piece not only celebrates the spirit of a classic superhero but also elevates the significance of graffiti as a form of contemporary commentary.
