Hawks can be a popular subject for graffiti street art, especially in urban areas where these birds of prey can often be spotted circling overhead or perched on buildings. One reason for their popularity is the hawk's association with power, strength, and freedom, as well as their impressive hunting abilities. Many graffiti artists use hawks to convey a sense of authority, intensity, or wildness in their work. In addition to their symbolic value, hawks can also be visually striking subjects for graffiti art, with their sharp beaks, talons, and distinctive feathers. Some artists may choose to depict hawks in a realistic style, while others may take a more stylized or abstract approach. Hawks are a versatile and visually compelling subject for graffiti street art, with a rich array of symbolic and aesthetic possibilities.

Sky High 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Ernesto Yerena Montejano (Hecho Con Ganas) Famous Mexican American Pop Artwork Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Size 18x24 "Sky High" is a vibrant and compelling limited edition silkscreen print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano, an artist whose work sits at the intersection of Mexican-American identity and pop art. Yerena, under his studio name Hecho Con Ganas, produced this print in 2019, showcasing his distinctive style that marries the bold aesthetics of street art with the nuanced commentary of fine art. Limited to a run of just 200 signed and numbered pieces, each print measures 18x24 inches, a size that allows viewers to engage intimately with the work while still appreciating its bold graphic qualities. Ernesto Yerena Montejano has established himself as a prominent figure in pop and street art, bringing forth a unique perspective that reflects his bicultural experience. His artworks often feature strong cultural symbols juxtaposed with bright, contrasting colors, a hallmark of classic pop art. "Sky High" features an array of eagles soaring in formation, creating a symmetrical pattern around a central rose. This symbol could be interpreted as a nod to beauty and resilience. The background's concentric circles in bold hues enhance the sense of motion and energy emanating from the composition. Silkscreen printing aligns Yerena with techniques popularized by pop art icons such as Andy Warhol, yet his subject matter is decidedly rooted in his cultural heritage and contemporary social issues. The choice of fine art paper as a medium for "Sky High" further blurs the lines between street art's transient nature and the permanence sought in fine art collections. This piece captures the dynamic essence of street art while being crafted with the precision and durability of fine art practices. Collectors and admirers of "Sky High" are drawn to its powerful visual statement and the meticulous craftsmanship of the hand-pulled print. Yerena’s work is not merely a decorative piece but an emblem of cultural pride and political expression. These encapsulating themes resonate deeply within the Mexican-American community and among advocates of pop art's power to communicate beyond words. The limited availability of "Sky High" makes it not just a piece of art but a slice of cultural history, embodying the spirit of a community that continues to soar against challenges, much like the eagles depicted in its design.

The "rise above" is a call to take the high road with a nod to one of my favorite Black Flag songs. Peace is radical punk!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY. Shepard Fairey's "Rise Above Bird" letterpress print emerges as a striking piece of visual commentary in street and pop art. The artwork, a limited edition hand-pulled print on cream cotton fine art paper, showcases Fairey's adeptness at blending strong messages with iconic imagery. Limited to a series of 450, each piece is signed and numbered by the artist, reflecting its exclusivity and collectible nature. The print, measuring 13x10 inches, features a bird in mid-flight, carrying a flower—a symbol that deviates from the traditional white peace dove. The image is set against a backdrop of stylistic elements and the words "Rise Above," which serve as an encouraging motto and a tribute to the artist's favorite song by the band Black Flag. This piece symbolizes Fairey's larger body of work, which often intersects with the themes of rebellion and peace, a juxtaposition at the heart of much street pop and graffiti artwork. The term' rise above' does not merely suggest an elevation in position or status; it is an ideological summons, urging viewers to surpass the ordinary, to overcome adversity, and to reject complacency. Fairey's artistry here is not just in the piece's visual appeal but also in its capability to provoke thought and inspire action. Shepard Fairey's influence in modern street pop and graffiti artwork is undeniable. His works are infused with political and social undertones, calling for a challenge to the status quo and advocating for a radical form of peace that aligns with the punk ethos. The "Rise Above Bird" is a testament to Fairey's consistent vision, which has solidified his place as a pivotal figure in contemporary art. It stands as a bold statement in the ongoing dialogue about the power of art to enact change and the artist's role in a society that often needs to be reminded to look beyond the surface.
