Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever Limited Edition Fine Art Blotter Paper Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Modern Pop Artist Copyright. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 35 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2022 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever by Copyright: Icons, Psychedelia, and Modern Myth in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever is a 2022 limited edition archival pigment print created by the UK-based modern pop artist Copyright. Produced in an edition of just 35 and measuring 7.5 x 7.5 inches, this fine art piece is printed on perforated blotter paper, a material long associated with psychedelic counterculture. The edition is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, reinforcing its ties to underground and rebellious creative traditions. Copyright, known for fusing pop iconography with layered social critique, constructs a visual kaleidoscope that blurs the boundaries between commercial art, psychedelia, and romantic symbolism. The artwork’s format—archival pigment print on blotter—is as intentional as the imagery itself, merging printmaking craftsmanship with the aesthetic of outlaw spirit. Visual Archetypes and Cultural Overload At the core of the artwork is a cyan-hued portrait of Marilyn Monroe, reimagined in a Warholian color palette and stylized with dripping paint, bold outlines, and floral embellishments. Her face is overlaid with layered graphics: the word Forever in sparkling pink script, a skull adorned with petals, butterflies, and a tattoo-style heart that reads Love. Above her, comic book text explodes in Whaam, while Mickey Mouse gestures into the frame, acting both as a witness and a participant in the chaos. This collage of commercial characters, romance clichés, and subversive symbols creates a disorienting and emotionally saturated composition. In the tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, the piece uses universally recognized figures to dissect the artificial constructs of fame, memory, mortality, and branding. Material Legacy and Psychedelic Format The choice of blotter paper as the printing substrate is a deliberate reference to 1960s and 1970s psychedelic art, where LSD tabs often featured graphic micro-images. While this artwork does not serve a functional purpose in that context, the use of perforated sheets draws a clear line to underground culture and mind-expansion aesthetics. The archival pigment printing process ensures color accuracy, longevity, and fine detail, lending a museum-quality finish to a material traditionally deemed ephemeral or illicit. The 7.5 x 7.5 inch size encourages up-close viewing, highlighting the pixel-level texture of the perforation grid beneath the imagery. This contrast between the sacred and the disposable adds a layer of tension to the print’s message—suggesting that contemporary mythologies are as fragile as they are omnipresent. Copyright’s Role in the Remix Tradition Copyright is a UK street pop artist who continually reimagines the familiar through a lens of distortion, nostalgia, and rebellion. Blending elements of graffiti culture, fashion advertising, fine art, and pop media, his works function as remix archives of collective memory. Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever distills his approach into one saturated square, drawing upon the semiotics of love, death, sex, capitalism, and escapism to create a maximalist meditation on cultural saturation. The inclusion of characters like Mickey and Monroe acts as both homage and critique—icons who once promised happiness and now haunt the very systems they helped define. In the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this piece asserts itself as a colorful explosion of conflicted worship, where beauty meets decay and permanence is found in the disposable.

"The butterfly comes from the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band in 1968. It was a black and white drawing. Then in 2013, I did another version of it, because I was going to make a poster of it.

Bask Thoughtcrime Ant HPM Stencil by Bask
Thoughtcrime Ant Limited Edition Hand-Painted Embellished Paint, Stencil, Acrylic on Wood by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "These pieces are a continuation of my Thoughtcrime series. The Ant image is painted on a series of weathered panels. This set was completed within the past month. It’s hard to say how long they took to create because salvaging the panels from a variety of places over a long time is just as much of a part the art as laying down the paint on top of them. Each piece has it’s own history embedded onto itself.Each piece is hand crafted and each panel has been painted and processed by me. I like the idea of small production works that let people get a original piece of art for the cost of some prints these days.I have been saving these panels for a while and finally it was time to cut them down and make some art out of them. Paintings of the same stenciled image but each looking 100% original to itself. Each piece has it’s own distinct character and personality while keeping the repetition of the Thoughtcrime." - BASK
