I See Static Blue AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist Proof. AP Artist Proof 2016 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Static Is All That I See. Increase The Peace. I See Static Blue AP by Shepard Fairey The 2016 I See Static Blue Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey exemplifies the tension between distortion and perception in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Executed with masterful precision on cream Speckletone fine art paper and signed and marked AP by the artist, this 18x24 inch hand-pulled silkscreen is a cryptic visual dialogue between media influence and the pursuit of peace. Fairey’s use of sharply defined geometry, vertical interference patterns, and symbolic layering invites the viewer into a hypnotic confrontation with sensory noise and propaganda. Visual Language Rooted in Power and Media Critique Fairey’s visual lexicon in I See Static Blue merges optical disruption with ideological clarity. The text Static Is All That I See appears embedded in a field of radiating blue lines, visually mimicking the interference of analog television static while metaphorically addressing the mental fog created by constant messaging and surveillance. Faces flank the central axis, fragmented by distortion lines, evoking themes of fractured identity in the information age. Below them, an all-seeing eye hovers—laced with a skull at its center—underscoring themes of control, mortality, and the ever-present gaze of media authority. The piece unravels the saturation of images that both numb and command attention, serving as a commentary on cognitive overload and ideological indoctrination. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as Message and Medium Fairey’s artwork lives at the junction of rebellion and refinement, where street aesthetics are elevated through design discipline. I See Static Blue carries influences from the psychedelic era’s visual frequencies and fuses them with propaganda art’s structural rigidity. Shepard Fairey, born in the United States in 1970, has remained one of the most politically vocal figures in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using repetition, limited color palettes, and iconographic symbols to dismantle corporate and governmental narratives. The presence of Obey beneath the eye recalls his original campaign of subversion, turning advertising into art and instruction into satire. The visual message is never passive—it compels awareness. Color, Symbolism, and the Artist Proof Format Rendered in cool hues of cobalt blue, muted crimson, and cream, this print carries a colder psychological weight than many of Fairey’s politically aggressive pieces. The symmetry and balance suggest duality, yet the design’s eye strain effect disorients and provokes. This AP edition holds further value not just as a Shepard Fairey work, but as a limited variant meticulously signed and marked by hand. The combination of sharp lines and symbolic complexity elevates the piece into both an aesthetic and intellectual exercise, reflecting Fairey’s continued relevance in using the visual structure of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork to reflect and resist.

John Lennon 02 Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Mixed Media Screen Print on 200lbs Heavyweight Paper by Bobby Hill Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Each piece is unique and colors, painting, spray paintings made by hand by the artist are random, vary, and you may not receive the exact pictured item! "I use photographic images as the basis for the art, but I would sometimes draw directly on the acetate before I burn the screens to bring out parts of the images I felt were important. Each piece for this run was individually screen printed and hand-painted using a variety of acrylic and other mediums. Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill

Chi-Noceros Silkscreen Print by Phineas X Jones Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Chicago City on the Horn of a Rhino Walking in the Sea. Chi-Noceros Silkscreen Print by Phineas X Jones Chi-Noceros, a silkscreen print by Phineas X Jones, is a surreal and visually striking fusion of urban architecture and wildlife, blending elements of street pop art & graffiti artwork with fine illustration techniques. This hand-pulled screenprint, created in 2013, captures the imaginative and detailed artistic approach for which Jones is known. The 18x24-inch artwork, produced as a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, depicts a rhinoceros walking through water with the iconic Chicago skyline integrated into its horn. This whimsical yet thought-provoking imagery transforms the animal into a living embodiment of the city, symbolizing both strength and resilience while blurring the lines between nature and man-made structures. The Artistic Composition and Symbolism Jones' illustration style in Chi-Noceros is defined by intricate linework and a deep attention to texture, giving the rhino’s skin a weathered, organic feel that contrasts sharply with the rigid architectural structures growing from its face. The use of the Willis Tower and other Chicago skyscrapers as the rhino’s horn is a bold artistic statement, reinforcing the city’s towering presence and its relationship to the natural world. The water surrounding the rhino creates an additional layer of intrigue, implying either movement through an untamed landscape or the gradual reclaiming of urban spaces by nature. The rhino’s body is also adorned with the four red stars from the Chicago flag, further emphasizing the city’s identity and making the creature a literal representation of its spirit. The integration of these symbols into the natural form of the animal adds a layer of civic pride while maintaining a sense of surrealism. The muted color palette, consisting of grays, blues, and reds, keeps the composition visually cohesive, reinforcing the detailed linework and giving the piece a timeless, almost vintage quality. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influences Chi-Noceros aligns with the aesthetics of street pop art & graffiti artwork by incorporating bold reimaginings of urban culture, transforming everyday elements into something unexpected. The hybrid of an organic, powerful creature with rigid city structures mirrors the themes often found in street art, where the natural and industrial coexist in an ongoing dialogue. This interplay between nature and human development is a recurring motif in urban art, where murals, prints, and graffiti often depict the struggle between environmental forces and the relentless expansion of cities. Jones’ ability to merge intricate realism with surrealism gives his work an edge that fits within the larger movement of contemporary street pop art. The exaggerated proportions and unconventional subject matter challenge the viewer’s perception, much like how graffiti and street murals disrupt traditional urban spaces. His precise illustration techniques, combined with the organic flow of ink from the screenprinting process, further reinforce the handcrafted, raw energy that defines this style of art. The Collectibility and Cultural Impact of Chi-Noceros As a limited-edition, signed and numbered silkscreen print, Chi-Noceros holds value as both a collectible artwork and a cultural statement. The 18x24-inch format allows for the full appreciation of Jones’ meticulous detailing, ensuring that every line and texture remains sharp and impactful. The hand-pulled nature of the print gives each piece a unique character, making it a sought-after work for collectors of street pop art & graffiti artwork, as well as those with an affinity for Chicago-inspired design. The lasting appeal of Chi-Noceros comes from its ability to merge civic identity with artistic expression. It speaks to both urban dwellers and art enthusiasts, offering a playful yet meaningful reflection on how cities and nature intersect. The rhino, a creature known for its resilience and strength, becomes an emblem of Chicago itself, embodying its toughness, adaptability, and iconic skyline. Phineas X Jones has established himself as an artist who bridges fine illustration with the bold, dynamic qualities of urban art. Chi-Noceros stands as a testament to his creativity, transforming an ordinary subject into an extraordinary visual narrative. This silkscreen print not only showcases his technical skill but also cements his place within the evolving landscape of street pop art & graffiti artwork.

Hi-Fi AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Hi-Fi AP by Shepard Fairey: A Tribute to Punk and Graffiti Pop Street Art The Hi-Fi Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a bold exploration of the intersection between music, rebellion, and Street Pop Art.

The design draws heavily on the DIY ethos of punk rock, where album covers and merchandise served as canvases for artistic expression. Fairey’s work reflects this connection by incorporating elements that evoke the tactile and immediate qualities of vinyl records, zines, and handmade posters. The leopard-print motif and gritty typography reinforce the rebellious aesthetic of punk, while the inclusion of track titles creates a narrative that connects music to the emotions and experiences it represents. Fairey’s ability to encapsulate the cultural significance of music in his work highlights his deep understanding of its role as a unifying force.

Contra Cocaine Silkscreen & Glitter Print by Robert "Robbie" Conal Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2010 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Robert "Robbie" Conal's Contra Cocaine: A Landmark in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The artwork "Contra Cocaine" by Robert "Robbie" Conal is a watershed moment in the history of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The 18x24 silkscreen print, with its haunting skull imagery set against a camouflaged backdrop, is not just a visual statement but a political cudgel wielded with artistic precision. This hand-pulled print on fine art paper, a limited edition of 100, represents Conal's unapologetic foray into street art, a domain he has since come to dominate. Educated at Stanford and a master painter, Robbie Conal is known for his unflinching, intensely detailed portraits, often depicting political figures in grotesque forms. His highly political and active work provides a scathing commentary on political corruption and misconduct. "Contra Cocaine" is perhaps his most notorious piece, a symbolic representation of the Iran/Contra scandal that plagued the Reagan administration. Its original iteration in 1988 has the distinction of being a part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), underscoring its cultural and historical significance. Contra Cocaine: The Intersection of Art and Political Activism Conal's "Contra Cocaine" transcends mere artistic endeavor; it encapsulates the artist's commitment to confronting and exposing the dark underbelly of political power structures. The piece is a grim commentary on the Iran/Contra affair, with the skull serving as a macabre symbol of the deadly consequences of political gamesmanship. Using street art's stark, compelling visual language, Conal's work becomes accessible and engaging, drawing the public into a conversation about the often invisible mechanisms of government wrongdoing. The distribution of "Contra Cocaine" through street posters in cities across the United States marked Conal's initial exploration into street art. This guerrilla postering, a form of grassroots activism, was designed to provoke public discourse and bring political commentary out of the galleries and into the streets. The image became synonymous with a generation's disillusionment and rage, channeling the spirit of protest into a singularly impactful piece of art. Legacy and Influence of Robbie Conal in Street Art Robbie Conal's influence on street pop art and graffiti artwork is profound. His commitment to marrying art with activism has inspired countless artists to view the urban landscape as a platform for social commentary and change. Plastering "Contra Cocaine" posters around the country was not just an artistic statement but a call to arms, engaging a volunteer "army" of supporters to disseminate the powerful image far and wide. Conal's method of engagement—activating a network of volunteers to distribute his posters—echoes the collective nature of street art, wherein the community plays a crucial role in the dissemination and reception of the work. The "army" that Conal mobilizes speaks to the collaborative spirit of the street art movement, blurring the lines between artist and audience, between individual creation and collective experience. Contra Cocaine: A Statement of Artistic and Historical Importance The historical context of "Contra Cocaine" amplifies its importance in the annals of street art. Published on the occasion of the exhibition "The Missing Link" at Country Club in 2010, the print also belongs to the Beautiful Losers Archive and Iconoclast Editions, collections that honor the works of artists who have shaped the landscape of contemporary art outside traditional systems. "Contra Cocaine" not only cements Robbie Conal's place in street art history but also stands as a testament to the power of visual art as a means of political resistance and societal reflection. As a piece of street pop art and graffiti artwork, it represents the genre's potential to influence public opinion and spark dialogues that transcend the visual medium, entering the realm of collective memory and historical documentation. The continued relevance of "Contra Cocaine" lies in its unabashed confrontation with political corruption and how art can expose and critique those in power. Through this work and his broader artistic oeuvre, Robbie Conal demonstrates the enduring role of the artist as a provocateur and a social commentator, wielding brushes and silkscreens as others might wield pens or protest signs. His legacy in street art is defined by his distinctive visual style and his unwavering commitment to activism through art.

Trippinfrog Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Surreal Print on 100% Cotton Rag Fine Art Paper in Bronzed Frame by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Naoto Hattori. 2014 Signed by Naoto Hattori & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 6x8 in Bronzed Frame Size 8x10. Exploring the Surreal World of Naoto Hattori's Trippinfrog Artwork The sphere of contemporary art is continuously evolving, merging various genres and forms to create new expressions that challenge and delight the senses. In this rich tapestry, Naoto Hattori stands out as a pop culture graffiti artist whose work infuses the fantastical elements of surrealism with the vibrant, rebellious energy of street pop art and graffiti artwork. One of Hattori's remarkable creations is the 'Trippinfrog' artwork, a giclee limited edition print that has captivated audiences with its intricate detail, imaginative composition, and striking aesthetic. This piece is more than just a visual treat; it's an expedition into a dream-like dimension where the conventional rules of nature and physics do not apply. Released in 2014, the 'Trippinfrog' limited edition is a testament to Hattori's mastery of his medium and ability to translate the subconscious into a tangible form. Each of the fifty prints in this limited series is signed by Naoto Hattori, adding a personal touch that collectors and admirers of street pop art cherish. The artwork size, at 6x8 inches, is modest, yet it packs a profound visual punch that draws the viewer in for a closer look. In contrast, the bronzed frame size of 8x10 inches complements and contains the artwork without overshadowing its complexity. The limited edition prints are produced on 100% cotton rag fine art paper, a material choice that speaks volumes about the quality and durability of the work. This type of paper is revered for its ability to hold color and detail, ensuring that each nuance of Hattori's vision is preserved. The use of a bronzed frame further enriches the viewing experience, adding a classic touch that contrasts with the modern, avant-garde nature of the artwork itself. The Signature Style of Naoto Hattori Naoto Hattori's style is a unique blend that straddles the line between the whimsical and the grotesque, a hallmark of his artistic vision. 'Trippinfrog' is a prime example of this, where the surreal and the real collide in a dance of colors, shapes, and forms. The artwork features an amalgamation of elements — eyes, tentacles, and amorphous shapes — all spiraling out of a central, frog-like creature that seems disintegrating and coming together simultaneously. This paradoxical imagery is a staple of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the unexpected becomes the norm, and viewers are encouraged to interpret the pieces through their lenses. The colors Hattori chose are at once earthy and ethereal, creating a mesmerizing contrast. The background of the 'Trippinfrog' evokes a serene landscape, a stark juxtaposition to the chaos that the central figure embodies. This duality might be seen as a commentary on the nature of existence — harmonious and chaotic, orderly and unpredictable. Hattori's work challenges the viewer to consider these dualities not as opposites but complements. The Cultural Impact of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Artworks such as 'Trippinfrog' are essential pieces in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork, genres that have gained significant momentum and recognition in the art world. These art forms are rooted in the expression of cultural identity, social commentary, and a desire to break away from traditional modes of art presentation. They are often seen on public walls, in galleries, and as part of private collections, representing a voice for the unheard and a canvas for the disenfranchised. Naoto Hattori's work, particularly 'Trippinfrog,' fits perfectly within this narrative. It provides a visual escape and an introspective journey for those who engage with it. The limited edition nature of the print makes it an exclusive artifact of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork, allowing it to serve as a cultural touchstone for this moment in art history. Collectors and enthusiasts of Hattori's work are not only obtaining a piece of art; they are preserving a fragment of the cultural zeitgeist. The 'Trippinfrog' artwork by Naoto Hattori is a captivating piece that stands as a testament to the innovative and transformative power of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Its limited edition status on fine art paper, the artist's signature, and its presentation in a bronzed frame all contribute to its desirability and significance. Hattori's ability to weave the surreal with the street, the dream-like with the tangible, places 'Trippinfrog' among the notable works that continue to shape and inspire the trajectory of modern art.
