The "Sing Songs" print series, limited to 30 signed and numbered editions, features holographic details and cutouts, adding a tactile and visual dimension rarely seen in prints. These embellishments not only enhance the artwork's allure but also echo the hands-on approach of street art, where the texture and materiality of the work are integral to its impact. Cultural Resonance and Aesthetic At 14x8.5 inches, each piece in this series commands attention with its size and the intricacy of its components.

The "Sing Songs" print, with its interplay of only two colors, demonstrates how minimalist approaches can yield complex visual experiences, a common thread in street art and pop art philosophies. The Duality of Street Pop Art in Modern Times The collaboration of Canilao and Thustra for the "Sing Songs" print series is a dance of contrasts and harmonies.

Each visual element chosen by the artists engages the viewer in a dialogue, a story unfolding within the confines of the paper. The "Sing Songs HPM Risograph Print" is a testament to the creative vision of MCXT and the power of collaboration within the street pop art and graffiti artwork scene. The use of risograph printing, coupled with the limited edition nature of the work, ensures that each piece remains a unique artifact, a snapshot of the artists' combined expressions at the time of its creation. This artwork celebrates the ingenuity and spirit of street art, manifesting as a collectible piece that holds within it the essence of an entire cultural movement.

Stanton's approach to his craft, particularly the intricate cut-paper method, echoes the meticulousness of street artists who spend hours perfecting their murals and stencils. His limited edition print, much like a carefully curated mural, becomes a landmark in the landscape of contemporary art—a marker of creativity and ingenuity.
