David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat & Marked AP, Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The David with Machine Gun AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a rare collaborative work created by Shepard Fairey, widely known as OBEY, and stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and measuring 18 x 24 inches, this Artist Proof edition is signed by both artists and marked “AP,” distinguishing it from the standard numbered release of 100. Artist Proofs carry additional significance within the art world due to their limited availability and direct association with the artists’ approval process, making this piece especially sought after by collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Imagery and Symbolic Tension This print features Michelangelo’s classical David, a symbol of Renaissance ideals of beauty, youth, and heroism, reimagined with a modern twist: he holds a machine gun. The stark juxtaposition between timeless humanist ideals and contemporary instruments of war creates a powerful critique of violence and the ways cultural icons are repurposed to reflect current anxieties. Set against a graffiti-covered urban backdrop, the figure embodies the collision between high art traditions and street-level social commentary. The work challenges viewers to consider how ideals of strength and beauty are corrupted when reframed within the context of militarization. Collaboration Across Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is often credited as the father of stencil graffiti, influencing countless artists with his Paris-based interventions since the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically resonant prints, later achieving international acclaim with his Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their joint creation of David with Machine Gun demonstrates how two generations of artists from different cultural backgrounds can merge their practices to create a unified message. It serves as both homage to classical art and a critique of the modern world. Rarity and Collectible Importance Artist Proof editions such as this one are rarer than the main run, typically reserved for the artists themselves or for key collaborators. Marked “AP” and carrying the signatures of both Fairey and Blek le Rat, this print embodies both historical and artistic value. Beyond its scarcity, the work is a striking representation of how street artists reinterpret cultural symbols to confront pressing issues like war and societal decay. The David with Machine Gun AP silkscreen stands as a prime example of the fusion of fine art history and modern protest through the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

The Guns of Brixton- Paul Simonon Hand-Pulled 2-Color Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckletone Art Paper by Pop Graffiti Artist Shepard Fairey- Obey x Kate Simon Rare Street Art Limited Edition Artwork. 2011 Signed by Shepard Fairey/Kate Simon & Numbered Limited Edition of 450 Artwork Size 18x24 Small bump crease to upper edge. Shepard Fairey X Kate Simon The Guns of Brixton (Paul Simonon), 2011 Screenprint in colors on speckled cream paper 24 x 18 inches (61 x 45.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 450 Signed, numbered and dated in pencil along the lower edge Published by Obey Giant, Los Angeles. "The Guns of Brixton" is a song by the British punk rock band The Clash, written by their bassist Paul Simonon. It was featured on their 1979 album, "London Calling." Paul Simonon's artwork has become iconic in its own right, as he has pursued a successful career as an artist since the dissolution of The Clash. Shepard Fairey is a well-known American street artist, graphic designer, and activist, best known for his "OBEY Giant" campaign and the iconic "Hope" poster created for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Combining his own artistic style with the legacy of punk rock, Fairey has created numerous works inspired by musicians and bands. Shepard Fairey created a silkscreen print inspired by "The Guns of Brixton" and featuring Paul Simonon. In this hypothetical artwork, Fairey would likely incorporate elements of his own signature style, such as bold colors, strong lines, and thought-provoking imagery, while paying tribute to the influence of The Clash and their music. The artwork might include references to the song's lyrics or imagery from the London Calling album cover, which features a photograph of Simonon smashing his bass guitar on stage based on photo by Kate Simon.

Sedation of Millions AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2012 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Number 3 in A Gun Target Retnial With Phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." "The "Sedation Of Millions" print is inspired by the title of my favorite Public Enemy album, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back." I think the biggest problem in America is the indifference and complacency about important issues that result from much of the population being perpetually hypnotized by conspicuous consumption, social media, entertainment, and self-medication. Using sedation and escapism for relief from the rat race might make us less aware(blissfully ignorant) but also less empowered to improve our role within the rat race… a vicious cycle of cause and effect." -Shepard Fairey The "Millions AP" silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey stands as a profound commentary on contemporary society through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. As an Artist Proof from 2012, signed and marked by Fairey himself, this limited edition piece presents a powerful visual fused with a direct message characteristic of Fairey's thought-provoking style. Sized at 18x24, the print features the image of a gun target retinal, the number 3 prominently placed at its center, overlaid with the bold phrase "IT TAKES THE SEDATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK." This artwork resonates with Fairey's ongoing exploration of control, power, and propaganda. The title and the thematic content pay homage to Public Enemy's album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back," channeling the spirit of resistance and the power of voice emblematic of the influential hip-hop group. Fairey's work challenges the viewer to consider the societal implications of complacency and the sedative effects of consumer culture, social media, and entertainment that contribute to a collective indifference toward critical issues. Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY campaign and the iconic Obama "Hope" poster, consistently blurs the lines between fine art and street art, bringing forth discussions that encapsulate the ethos of both genres. The "Millions AP" silkscreen print serves not just as a piece of art but as a call to consciousness, urging a break from the "blissful ignorance" induced by escapism and advocating for empowerment through awareness and action. This work is a visual manifestation of Fairey's critique on the cyclical nature of societal sedation and the importance of awakening from it to enact change within the systems that govern daily life. In the broader scope of street pop art and graffiti, Fairey's "Millions AP" print encapsulates the essence of the medium's capacity to reflect and impact cultural dialogue. It is a testament to the potential of visual art as a medium for social commentary and a marker of the time in which it was created.

Chinese Soldier 2 TP Test Print Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 1-Color on Thin Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. TP AP Artist Test Proof Print 2006 Unsigned. Testing Out The Process From Shepard Faireys Then Workshop. Black Mono Print, Unsigned, No Markings. Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. TearsBending & Creasing throughout The Margins, Working Artist Copy. Crease Across Lower Right Facing Side. Shepard Fairey's "Chinese Soldier 2 TP Test Print" is a compelling piece that exemplifies the intersection of street art and political commentary, hallmarks of Fairey's work. As an iconic figure in pop and graffiti art, Fairey has long been recognized for his ability to provoke thought and stir public discourse through his art. This particular silkscreen print is a test proof from 2006, emanating from the artist's experimentation with printmaking techniques. Hand-pulled and comprising five colors on thin art paper, this limited edition artwork carries the signature visual style of Fairey's Obey series, which commands attention to the themes of propaganda, control, and societal obedience. The print, depicting a Chinese soldier with a flower protruding from the barrel of his rifle, challenges viewers to question the juxtaposition of military power with peace—a dichotomy often explored in anti-war art and literature. The raw and unrefined nature of this test print adds to its authenticity and makes it a unique collector's piece, especially considering it is a black mono print and is unsigned, with no markings. The lack of signature is particularly notable as it speaks to the essence of street art, where the message often takes precedence over the artist's identity. Measuring 18x24 inches, this print is sizable, allowing for an immersive viewing experience that draws the eye to the stark contrasts and the compelling imagery that has become synonymous with Fairey's work. Fairey's influence on street art extends beyond his visual work; his methods and approach have inspiremanyof artists to see the urban landscape as a canvas for commentary and change. His test prints, such as "Chinese Soldier 2," offer a glimpse into his process and an understanding of the experimentation behind his finished pieces. This artwork, while a test piece, stands alone in its powerful message and aesthetic, encapsulating the energy and defiance of street art culture.

Assassination Silver Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Off White Archival Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print by Dave Kinsey based on Auguste Rodin's The Thinker "I created this piece in 2007, which is a commentary on the slow degradation of the education system in the United States—an assassination of the educational nourishment of the people and our society. This piece references Rodin’s “The Thinker” sculpture whose pose is based on deep thought and contemplation. Our schools, universities, and so forth are catalysts to greater change and progress and we as humans need to protect this at all costs." -Dave Kinsey, Two Thousand & Twenty-Three Dave Kinsey is a contemporary artist known for his mixed media work that often blends urban street art influences with fine art practices. His work often explores themes of the human condition, society, and the environment. Kinsey often utilizes silkscreen printing in his work, which is a process that involves pushing ink through a mesh screen to create an image. This technique allows for the production of multiple copies of a design, with each print being an original piece of art. Kinsey's artwork varies in subject matter, and he has created a wide array of prints, paintings, and installations. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by the French artist Auguste Rodin, which was first cast in 1902. The sculpture depicts a nude male figure, hunched over with his chin resting on one hand and his other hand resting on his knee, deep in thought. Dave Kinseys version, The Thinker has a bullet hole in his head. The pose of the figure is meant to evoke the idea of a man contemplating the meaning of life, and it has become an iconic symbol of philosophy and intellectualism. Rodin originally created The Thinker as part of a larger commission for a set of bronze doors for a museum in Paris. The doors were to depict scenes from Dante's Divine Comedy, and The Thinker was originally conceived as a representation of Dante himself, contemplating the depths of hell. However, the sculpture became so popular that Rodin eventually decided to make it a standalone piece, and he created multiple versions of The Thinker in various sizes and materials. Today, The Thinker is one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world, and it has been widely reproduced and referenced in popular culture. It is also considered a masterpiece of the modern era, and it continues to inspire artists and thinkers around the world.

The artwork features Bruce Willis as John McClane, the iconic protagonist of Die Hard, depicted in a bold, high-contrast composition that merges classic action film poster aesthetics with the raw energy of street art.

Stylistic Approach and Composition Matt Dye is known for his ability to elevate pop culture imagery into dynamic Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, and this print is a testament to that expertise. The composition is meticulously crafted, with Bruce Willis front and center, gripping a handgun with an intense, determined expression. The background features a high-contrast cityscape, reinforcing the urban chaos of Die Hard's setting in Nakatomi Plaza. The typography is bold and aggressive, with the film title in heavy block letters and the famous tagline positioned prominently beneath. The use of halftone shading adds a retro comic book feel, a signature technique often seen in Blunt Graffix prints. The hand-pulled screenprinting process enhances the depth and texture, making each print a unique piece of collectible artwork. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Matt Dye’s work under Blunt Graffix blends the rebellious nature of graffiti with the refined craftsmanship of silkscreen printmaking. His prints often feature cult movie characters, rock legends, and comic book icons, aligning with the visual language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The bold contrasts and stencil-like qualities in this Die Hard piece mimic the aesthetics of urban wheatpaste posters and large-scale murals, where pop culture imagery is frequently recontextualized. The rough, distressed textures and vibrant color blocking evoke the raw energy of street art while maintaining the precision of a finely executed print. The imagery of John McClane, a lone hero taking on impossible odds, resonates with the themes often explored in street-based art—resistance, perseverance, and defiance against the system. Collectibility and Cultural Impact As a limited edition of 60, this Die Hard print is a sought-after collectible among fans of both the film and Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The hand-pulled nature of each piece ensures that no two prints are exactly alike, making them unique artifacts of contemporary print culture.

This piece, with its raw intensity and striking visual composition, stands as a prime example of how film, pop art, and street-inspired techniques can merge into a single work of art. The continued demand for his prints highlights the lasting influence of handcrafted artwork in a digital era, reinforcing the value of silkscreen as a medium that bridges pop culture with street-inspired artistic expression.

Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Location, Location, Location Series Silkscreen Print Cop Shooting at Lake Fargo North Dakota  Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen is a 2013 hand-pulled screenprint that transforms a stark, frozen landscape into a haunting piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 18x24 inches and part of a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, this artwork captures the isolation, tension, and stark beauty associated with the setting of Fargo. The minimalist composition and restrained color palette bring an atmospheric quality to the piece, making it an instant conversation starter while maintaining the aesthetic precision that defines Van Genderen’s work. A Study in Minimalism and Suspense This screenprint is a striking example of how minimalism can create an emotionally charged visual experience. The vast negative space dominates the upper portion of the composition, reinforcing the feeling of emptiness and desolation. In the lower portion, a small figure stands on the shoreline of a frozen lake, arm extended, firing a gun into the distance. The muted grays and whites of the landscape contrast with the icy blue of the water, while subtle texturing gives the piece a weathered, cinematic feel. The scene immediately evokes the quiet tension and understated menace associated with the region, particularly through its connection to the film and television series Fargo. While not explicitly referencing the storyline, the artwork plays on the themes of violence, isolation, and the stark beauty of the Midwest. The placement of the lone figure and the vast, empty space surrounding him create an immediate sense of narrative, leaving the viewer to interpret what has happened or what may come next. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Elements Justin Van Genderen’s approach to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork relies on a fusion of clean, modernist design and raw urban texture. The halftone shading in the trees and distant hills gives the piece a printed, almost grainy quality, reminiscent of vintage posters or old newspaper photographs. This technique aligns with the visual language of screenprinting, a medium frequently used in street art to produce bold, high-contrast imagery that retains a handmade quality. The piece embraces a restrained, muted color scheme, allowing the stark white background to act as both a visual element and an emotional tool. The faded edges and distressed textures create a sense of imperfection, reinforcing the idea that this is a world shaped by rough environments and human intervention. The red typography in the bottom corner is an intentional choice, subtly injecting a sense of urgency or danger into an otherwise cold and distant landscape. The Power of Narrative in Urban-Inspired Art Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen exemplifies how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can go beyond aesthetics to create compelling visual narratives. The stark contrast between man and nature, action and stillness, makes the piece feel cinematic, as if it captures a single frame from a larger story. This kind of storytelling through composition and simplicity is a key characteristic of contemporary urban art, where symbols, figures, and spaces are used to evoke deep emotional responses. As a limited-edition silkscreen print, this piece holds significance for collectors who appreciate the intersection of film-inspired artwork and the raw, stripped-down energy of street culture. Whether displayed in a private collection or as part of an urban-themed gallery, this print stands as a testament to how minimalism, negative space, and subtle visual cues can create something both visually arresting and emotionally evocative. Fargo, as a place and a cultural reference, continues to hold a unique place in artistic interpretation, and this piece captures its essence with an unforgettable, striking simplicity.

David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Blek le Rat Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2008 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Blek le Rat, Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Shepard Fairey x Blek le Rat David with Machine Gun Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 David with Machine Gun silkscreen print is a collaborative edition created by Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Hand-pulled on fine art paper and produced in a signed and numbered edition of 100, this 18 x 24 inch print merges the strengths of two iconic street artists across generations. Both signatures on each print elevate it to an important collector’s piece within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, highlighting not only a striking image but also the historical significance of the collaboration itself. Imagery and Commentary The print features a reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s classical sculpture David, here transformed into a provocative figure holding a machine gun. The juxtaposition of the Renaissance ideal of human beauty and form with the stark brutality of a modern weapon serves as a sharp critique of war, violence, and the distortion of cultural ideals. By placing David in a gritty, graffiti-covered urban environment, the work questions how art and society repurpose historic symbols to address contemporary anxieties. This powerful reimagining reflects both Blek le Rat’s tradition of stencil interventions in public spaces and Shepard Fairey’s skill at repurposing cultural icons into tools for social commentary. Collaborative Significance Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is celebrated as one of the earliest and most influential stencil graffiti artists. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, became internationally known for his OBEY campaign and his later political works, including the Barack Obama Hope poster. Together, they bridge the early roots of European stencil art with the graphic and politically driven evolution of American street pop art. Their joint works, such as David with Machine Gun, serve as cultural dialogues between two eras, reinforcing the continuity of street art as a platform for protest and public discourse. Political Resonance and Collector Value David with Machine Gun functions as a visual protest, reworking an image of purity, youth, and beauty into a statement about the corruption of ideals through militarization and violence. The collaboration underscores both artists’ shared commitment to making politically engaged art accessible to broad audiences. With its limited edition of only 100, dual signatures, and thematic strength, the print has become a significant and sought-after work for collectors. It captures the way Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can take familiar imagery and transform it into a searing critique of the modern world, cementing its role as both cultural artifact and fine art object.

Antiseen Shiv Stepsister Zen Guerilla 1995 Cleveland Ohio Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1995 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of 650 Artwork Size 18x23 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Antiseen Shiv Stepsister Zen Guerilla Euclid Tavern Cleveland, Ohio 9-15-1995 In concert promotion, Frank Kozik's distinctive silkscreen prints stand as coveted pieces for collectors and fans of the pop and street art movements. His creation for the Antiseen, Shiv, Stepsister, and Zen Guerilla gig, dated September 15, 1995, at the Euclid Tavern in Cleveland, Ohio, is an exemplary piece of this niche. The limited edition print, with only 650 copies signed and numbered by Kozik, showcases the raw and energetic visual language synonymous with Kozik's style. With dimensions of 18x23 inches, this print was more than an announcement; it was a piece of art that captured the spirit of the musical acts it promoted. The imagery is quintessentially Kozik, blending anthropomorphic characters and a whimsical yet provocative arrangement, radiating the punk and hardcore essence of the headlining band Antiseen. Such visual elements are characteristic of Kozik's art, reflecting the underground music scene's gritty and rebellious ethos. The cow and wolf figures, dressed in human attire and engaging in a mock marriage ceremony, serve as a satirical comment, perhaps on the state of society or the inflammatory nature of the bands. In the corner, a pig appears content, contributing to the print's eccentric narrative. This work serves not just as an advertisement for a one-night event but as an artifact that speaks to the cultural and artistic milieu of the mid-90s. Kozik's work is a bridge connecting the subcultural to the mainstream, using the accessible medium of the gig poster to disseminate his unique brand of visual art. These silkscreen prints stand as an intersection where the transitory nature of street art is given permanence, where the voice of underground music is visualized, and where the collectible quality of fine art meets the democratic spirit of street art. This print from the Euclid Tavern event celebrates that union, immortalizing a moment in the continuously evolving narrative of pop and street art.
