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.

Natural Yellowing to Margins. "This is one of my favorite paintings I created years back. Bringing it back to life over 10 years later with these new materials has been a lot of fun. I almost feel like a kid again playing with these neon sharpies florescent paint pens and shining the black light on the print as I work. Once the light is off, these tags hide in plain sight. It's a little silly, but it does feel a bit magical. Each print is unique and one of a kind. I spent time with each one of these, enjoying the process." -Saber This particular piece, the "Last stop Black Light Giclee Print," is described as a favorite of Saber, revived with the employment of new materials. This process seems to have given the artist a rejuvenating, almost childlike joy. Saber’s approach, integrating neon sharpies and fluorescent paint pens, infuses the work with a playful yet elusive quality, where the artfully reveals itself only under the glow of a black light. This feature adds an interactive dimension to the piece. The prints' unique characteristic of hiding 'tags' in plain sight when not illuminated speaks to the clandestine nature of graffiti culture. Limited to a series of 35, each print has been signed and numbered, indicating a high level of exclusivity and collectibility. The detail of natural yellowing around the margins of the hand-deckled fine art paper contributes to the authenticity of each piece, suggesting a deliberate embrace of the natural aging process and reflecting the often ephemeral nature of street art. The size of the artwork, 23x17.5 inches, provides a generous canvas for Saber’s vibrant work, allowing the intricate details and the contrast between the fluorescent and the dark elements to stand out. The production of the piece in 2023 marks it as a contemporary artifact of street art's ongoing evolution, encapsulating both the history and the current state of the movement. Saber’s connection and time spent on each print ensures that while the edition is limited, no two pieces are exactly alike, each bearing the unique touch of the artist’s hand.
