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.

Florence Aubenas 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 Florence Aubenas Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 Florence Aubenas silkscreen print represents a rare collaboration between American street artist Shepard Fairey, known as OBEY, and French stencil pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen was produced in a signed and numbered limited edition of only 100. Each print bears the signatures of both artists, cementing its importance as a cross-generational dialogue within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The subject, French journalist Florence Aubenas, was abducted and held hostage in Iraq in 2005, making the work a powerful symbol of resilience and the role of art in amplifying human rights issues. Imagery and Symbolism The print merges Shepard Fairey’s graphic, politically charged style with Blek le Rat’s classic stencil approach. Set against the backdrop of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, the work integrates photography and stencil to create a layered street-inspired composition. Aubenas is portrayed standing calmly, her figure rendered in stark black stencil against the stone wall, evoking Blek le Rat’s street interventions. This contrasts with the detailed urban surroundings captured in Fairey’s silkscreen process, creating a tension between the permanence of historical architecture and the urgency of contemporary political struggle. The placement of the figure beneath the street sign grounds the work firmly in Paris, while also symbolizing the global reach of her story. Collaboration Between Icons Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is regarded as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, influencing generations of street artists worldwide, including Banksy. Shepard Fairey, born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1970, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and politically charged works such as the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaboration on Florence Aubenas brought together two distinct but complementary approaches: Blek’s commitment to the power of direct stencil imagery in public space and Fairey’s graphic design-driven activism. The result is a work that resonates both as a political statement and as a landmark in the history of street art. Political Resonance and Artistic Legacy This silkscreen print underscores how art can become a tool of awareness and advocacy. By immortalizing Florence Aubenas in their visual language, Fairey and Blek le Rat highlight the risks faced by journalists working in conflict zones and the importance of freedom of expression. With its limited edition size, dual signatures, and thematic depth, the Florence Aubenas print is considered a significant collector’s piece, not only for fans of Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat but also for those who recognize the importance of socially engaged art. It remains a striking example of how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can transcend aesthetics to confront urgent political realities.

The layering of splashes and soft stencil-like marks in the backdrop reinforces the street-inspired aesthetic, adding depth and movement to the print. This artwork not only highlights Buff Monster’s ability to create playful, eye-catching visuals but also serves as a commentary on the mass production of icons within contemporary culture.

The signed and numbered edition of only 10 makes this print an incredibly rare collector’s item. Buff Monster’s dedication to limited-run editions adds to the desirability of his prints, with each release offering fans and collectors a chance to own a unique iteration of his work. The meticulous layering of bright, high-contrast inks over the textured pink backdrop gives the artwork a depth that is best appreciated in person, reinforcing the value of handmade, screenprinted editions in an increasingly digital art market.

The balance between uniformity and artistic chaos makes this print a standout within Buff Monster’s catalog. Each Mister Melty figure feels like a stamped icon, reinforcing the idea of art as a mass-produced commodity while simultaneously celebrating its individuality through the imperfections and human touch of the silkscreen process.

Peterson's work does not simply hang on a wall; it confronts and envelops the viewer in its narrative. Cultural Commentary through Peterson's Silkscreen In "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Black Tondo," Peterson lays bare the paradoxes of revolt. His use of black — associated with the unknown and often with death — serves as a void into which the figures emerge and are consumed. The artwork is an allegory of the cyclical nature of history, where each act of uprising carries the seeds of its destruction within it. The stark black-and-white hues strip the scene of any romanticism, exposing the raw power struggle. It speaks to the heart of street pop art and graffiti artwork, which often deal in objective truths and lay claim to public spaces as forums for dialogue. Peterson's work takes this further, encapsulating the raw, uncensored voice of the street in a fine art context. The "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Black Tondo" is a poignant reminder of the perpetual dance between order and chaos. It is a piece that encapsulates the essence of Cleon Peterson's approach to street pop art, rendering visible the often uncomfortable realities that underpin human societies. Through his work, Peterson challenges the viewer, compelling a deeper engagement with the undercurrents of cultural and political change.

Untitled Pointman & Vick Silkscreen Print by Verdy x Futura 2000- Leonard McGurr Hand-Pulled on Deckled Mohawk Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 18x24  Silkscreen Print Stylized Vick Panda Rabbit holding a Pointman Sci Fi Creature in Red, Black & White. Verdy x Futura 2000: A Dynamic Dialogue in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The 2025 limited edition silkscreen print titled Untitled Pointman & Vick is a highly collectible collaboration between two titans of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—Verdy and Leonard McGurr, also known as Futura 2000. This hand-pulled 18x24 inch artwork, limited to only 40 signed and numbered editions, brings together two iconic characters born from very different visual traditions: Verdy’s Vick, a panda-rabbit hybrid pulsing with urban cuteness and punk energy, and Futura’s Pointman, an angular, sci-fi inspired alien form that has long represented the artist’s abstract evolution of graffiti since the 1980s. The synergy of these two figures positioned together on a stark white canvas creates a striking and unmistakable visual statement. Character Fusion: From Tokyo Subculture to NYC Futurism Verdy’s Vick, a staple of Japanese youth culture and streetwear, is rendered with bold lines, minimalism, and emotional defiance. Often seen in his works tied to Girls Don’t Cry and Wasted Youth, the Vick figure represents innocence crossed with resistance, captured here with expressive posture and his recognizable spiked hair and long ears. In this piece, Vick stands confidently while clutching Futura’s Pointman—a creature that has become emblematic of space-age graffiti abstraction. The Pointman figure, often portrayed as detached and observing, now appears anthropomorphized yet held in a position of connection, suggesting creative control, reverence, or even confrontation. Leonard McGurr, born in the United States, redefined graffiti art with his experimental use of shapes, negative space, and conceptual narrative. His Pointman character broke away from traditional lettering and tags, opting instead for a visual language that combined comic book energy, cosmic theory, and social metaphor. This character now enters Verdy’s minimalist playground, blurring lines between eras and aesthetics. Minimalist Form with Maximum Impact Printed in red, black, and white, the silkscreen’s visual economy amplifies the tension and harmony between the two characters. The limited palette makes the composition pop with clarity, a visual nod to both vintage animation and punk zine graphics. Each line is deliberate. Each shape speaks volumes. The exaggerated proportions and surreal character styling are a testament to both artists’ skill in balancing humor, symbolism, and subculture in visual form. The work functions as a mirror of mutual respect between two worlds—Verdy’s Japanese design-driven storytelling and Futura’s American avant-garde rebellion. A Collectible Print for the Global Art Vanguard As a signed and numbered edition of just 40, this 18x24 inch silkscreen print is a rare artifact that ties two global artistic forces into a single unified piece. It represents more than just collaboration—it embodies cross-generational momentum in street pop and graffiti art. Fans and collectors of either artist will immediately recognize the cultural and historical significance embedded in the composition. Verdy and Futura 2000 have together constructed a moment that celebrates character-based iconography as legitimate, emotional, and deeply impactful contemporary art. This print is not just a visual work—it is a document of two worlds shaking hands through their art.

Get A Job HPM Silkscreen Stencil on Wood by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Painted Multiple Panel Ready to Hang Street Artist Modern Graffiti Pop Art. 2012 Signed & Numbered Edition of 6 HPM Silkscreen Stencil Print Artwork Size 18x24 on Wood Panel. Framed without glass. Framed Dimensions 25 X 19 Inches. Shepard Fairey Get A Job HPM Silkscreen Stencil on Wood 2012 The 2012 Get A Job hand-painted multiple by Shepard Fairey, the American artist behind the OBEY name, is a striking fusion of silkscreen stencil work and hand-applied detailing on a wood panel. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this piece forms part of an extremely limited edition of only six, each signed and numbered by the artist. Known for his politically charged, socially conscious imagery, Fairey uses the visual language of propaganda posters to deliver a biting commentary on labor, authority, and societal expectations, here reframed through the lens of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Propaganda-Inspired Composition The central figure in the artwork points directly outward, recalling iconic recruitment poster imagery, but the directive here is satirically altered to read “I Want You to Get a Job.” This layered messaging both mimics and critiques the authoritative tone of historic propaganda, drawing attention to the commodification of work and the pressures of productivity. The composition is infused with radiating golden rays against a dominant red background, with two strong, uniformed workers flanking the scene, reinforcing the militaristic aesthetic while heightening the visual impact. Technique and Materiality This work is not a standard print but a hand-painted multiple, meaning each panel is individually worked on by the artist, resulting in subtle variations across the edition. The use of wood as a base surface adds warmth, texture, and durability, contrasting with the crispness of the silkscreen stencil application. Fairey’s layering of paint and stencil work produces depth and complexity, with areas of intentional distress and imperfection that enhance the street-art authenticity. The absence of glass in the framing invites closer inspection of the texture and the tactile qualities of the wood grain beneath the paint. Shepard Fairey’s Cultural Commentary Born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, Shepard Fairey emerged from the skateboarding scene with his OBEY sticker campaign before becoming a central figure in contemporary political street art. His works frequently challenge power structures, media influence, and consumer culture. In Get A Job, Fairey uses the aesthetics of socialist realism and wartime propaganda to deliver a layered critique of modern labor dynamics, while maintaining the bold graphic style that has made his work internationally recognizable. With its combination of rare edition size, mixed media execution, and socially pointed message, this piece is a powerful example of Fairey’s ability to merge visual seduction with political provocation in the sphere of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Don't Listen To Them Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Canadian artist Denial and Australian-born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor. His work is satirical, which, by definition, means that it uses humor as a confronting mechanism.

Florence Aubenas 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 Florence Aubenas AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The Florence Aubenas AP Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2008 is a powerful collaborative work by Shepard Fairey, known globally as OBEY, and French stencil art pioneer Blek le Rat. Measuring 18 x 24 inches, this hand-pulled silkscreen on fine art paper exists in an extremely rare Artist Proof edition, each marked “AP” and signed by both artists. Beyond its rarity, the subject matter and dual authorship make it one of the most politically and historically significant works within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Subject and Symbolism The work features a portrait of Florence Aubenas, the French journalist abducted in Iraq in 2005 and later released after months in captivity. She is depicted standing calmly against the wall of Place Saint-Michel in Paris, her figure stenciled in stark black and white, contrasting with the detailed urban setting. This juxtaposition symbolizes both her resilience and the precarious realities faced by journalists in war zones. By situating her image in a familiar Parisian context, the print speaks to both the local and international dimensions of her story, grounding a global political issue in a recognizable urban landscape. Collaboration Between Generations Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in France in 1951, is widely acknowledged as one of the founders of stencil graffiti, with a career that began in the streets of Paris in the early 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, rose to prominence through his OBEY campaign and later works addressing political and social justice issues. Their joint creation of Florence Aubenas bridges the gap between the origins of stencil graffiti in Europe and the evolution of politically driven street art in the United States. The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to using art as a form of activism and public awareness. Artist Proof Rarity and Legacy Artist Proofs, typically reserved for artists and collaborators outside of the standard numbered edition, carry heightened value due to their scarcity and direct connection to the creators. With dual signatures and the AP designation, this edition of Florence Aubenas stands apart as a rare collector’s item. More than a collectible, however, the print underscores how street art can amplify pressing social issues, using public imagery and fine art techniques to spark dialogue. The Florence Aubenas AP silkscreen remains a landmark example of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork where artistic expression, political urgency, and historical moment converge.

The Shape Of Capitalism Original Hand-Painted Multiple (HPM) on Wood Cradled Panel ready to hang by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered HPM Limited Edition Artwork Size 24x24 Featuring works from Denial’s nearly decade-long career, his often satirical approach works to combat mass media, consumerism, and advertising by taking familiar imagery and objects and re-contextualizing them into unique artistic statements that drive the viewer to question the worth and difference (if any) between art and advertising. Building on a long line of pop-driven work, Enjoy Denial finds Denial harnessing the negative corporate energies spewed upon society and turns them back against the established power structures that control our everyday lives. With this exhibition, Denial peels back layers of overloaded advertising and logos to shine a not-so-subtle light on the deceptions society combats daily from corporations. Denial’s art is strongly political and social since the artist takes specific positions against issues, such as capitalism, consumer culture, and advertisements. More importantly, the artist is aware of his choices and motivations: “I like to think of myself as activist pop art. How I relate with cartoons and graphics is a lot easier than I do with photo-realistic stuff" Another aspect of Denial's work is humor.

C/S I 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Distressed Pearl White Finish Silkscreen Print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2016 Signed by OG Slick x Chaz Bojorquez & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 P1  Exploring the Intricacies of C/S I by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez has given rise to C/S I, a 9-color hand-pulled limited edition silkscreen print that showcases the nuanced synergy between street pop art and graffiti artwork. Crafted in 2016, this work is part of a limited series, each piece bearing the artist's signature and numbered P1 out of 150, marking its exclusivity and importance as a collector's item. The collaboration between these two stalwarts of the street art scene synthesizes their distinct artistic voices into a unified visual statement that resonates with the energy and ethos of the urban landscape from which it draws inspiration. OG Slick, whose roots are firmly planted in the street culture of Los Angeles, brings his iconic imagery to the collaboration. His contributions to the C/S I print are characterized by the cartoon-like gloves that gesture towards the viewer, a direct and impactful use of imagery that has become a signature of his work. This graphical element starkly contrasts the intricate background, inviting a dialogue about the interaction between pop culture and the subversive nature of graffiti art. Signature Elements and Cultural Commentary in C/S I Chaz Bojorquez's influence within the C/S I print is unmistakable. His signature calligraphic style, derived from the Cholo writing of East Los Angeles, provides a rich textual backdrop to Slick's bold graphical elements. The layers of text in print are reminiscent of the palimpsest nature of street art, where messages are layered upon one another, creating a complex tapestry that speaks to the community's pulse. Bojorquez's artistry with letters goes beyond mere aesthetics, delving into the identity politics and social narratives that have always been at the heart of his work. The distressed pearl white finish on the print adds a dimension of age and texture, suggesting a weathered quality often found in street art exposed to the elements. This choice of finish not only enhances the visual depth of the piece but also bridges the gap between the transient nature of street art and the permanence sought by fine art pieces. The Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper, known for its quality and durability, reinforces the intention to preserve the fleeting beauty of street art in a form that stands the test of time. The Limited Edition Nature of C/S I and Its Collectibility The limited edition nature of the C/S I print underscores its value within street pop art and graffiti artwork. The fact that only 150 of these prints exist, each signed by the artists OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, elevates the work from mere reproduction to a coveted art piece. Collectors and enthusiasts of street art are drawn to the visual appeal of the work and the cultural capital that such a limited series represents. Owning a piece of this series is akin to holding a fragment of street art history, a snapshot of the moment when two renowned artists converged to leave an indelible mark on the art world. Impact of C/S I on the Perception of Street Art The impact of C/S I goes beyond the boundaries of traditional graffiti and street art. By situating the work within the context of pop art, OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez challenge the viewer to reconsider the distinctions between high art and urban art forms. The collaboration speaks to the versatility and adaptability of street art, its ability to comment on and absorb influences from various artistic movements, and its persistent quest to gain legitimacy and respect within the art hierarchy. The print's visual elements reflect a sophisticated understanding of cultural symbols, iconography, and the power of the written word, all staples in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The collaboration between OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez on C/S I is symbolic of a movement that refuses to be categorized simplistically, instead insisting on a complex identity as fluid and vibrant as the streets from which it originates. Through their artistic fusion, these artists contribute to the ongoing narrative of street art as a form that constantly evolves yet remains true to its roots in the urban tapestry.

This piece, created in 2016, is a fine example of how two artists can merge their distinctive styles to create a unique work that reflects their individual artistic identities. The 9-color hand-pulled limited edition distressed pearl white finish silkscreen print on 250gsm Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision shared by the two legends of the street art scene. OG Slick, an artist with a background deeply rooted in the Los Angeles graffiti movement, brings his iconic imagery and urban sensibilities to the piece. Known for his bold and often subversive visual language, Slick’s contribution to C/S II is immediately apparent in the stylized cartoon hands and contemporary iconography that speaks to street culture's commercial and gritty aspects. His work has often been characterized by a playfulness that belies a more profound commentary on social and cultural issues. This is evident in how he manipulates familiar symbols and characters to challenge viewers’ perceptions. Chaz Bojorquez's Signature Style in C/S II Chaz Bojorquez’s influence in the piece is equally profound. His signature style, which draws from the Cholo graffiti tradition and his sophisticated understanding of typography, complements Slick’s more whimsical elements with a sense of gravity and history. The calligraphic strokes and the intricate lettering in the background of C/S II are unmistakably Bojorquez’s, showcasing his mastery over form and ability to convey a rich cultural narrative through his art. His work captures the essence of a subculture that has often been marginalized, elevating it to a level of fine art that demands recognition and respect. The collaboration between these two artists on C/S II is a dialogue between different eras and styles within the street art genre. While OG Slick’s work is often seen as a bridge between the early days of street art and the modern aesthetic, Bojorquez represents the soulful, enduring aspects of graffiti art woven into the cultural fabric of urban life. Together, their work on this print creates a complex interplay of color, form, and symbolism that celebrates street art’s past and a bold statement about its future. Cultural Significance of the Limited Edition C/S II Print The cultural significance of the C/S II print lies in its embodiment of the spirit of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Limited to an edition of 150, each print is signed by OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, making it a rare and collectible piece that holds great value for street art lovers. The decision to limit the edition not only underscores the value of the artwork but also speaks to the ethos of street art, where the fleeting nature of the medium often means that works can be temporary and transient. By capturing this transient essence in a tangible form, OG Slick and Bojorquez have created a lasting artifact of street culture. The piece is particularly notable for its distressed pearl white finish, which adds texture and depth to the print. This finish gives the artwork a tactile quality that invites closer inspection and suggests a history behind the image as if it has been weathered by time and the elements – a nod to the real-world conditions of street art. The use of Stonehenge White Fine Art Paper further elevates the piece, marrying the raw energy of graffiti with the refinement of fine art printing techniques. Impact and Legacy of C/S II in Street Art and Pop Culture The impact and legacy of C/S II in street art and pop culture are significant. By bringing together two influential artists from different generations, the print bridges the early days of Los Angeles graffiti and the contemporary street art scene. It reflects the genre's evolution, showing how it can be a personal means of expression and a sophisticated art form. The print’s aesthetic, marked by the interplay of Bojorquez’s calligraphic skill and Slick’s graphic sensibility, exemplifies the potential of street art to engage with broader artistic movements and to be recognized in the wider context of pop art. As a piece of street pop and graffiti artwork, C/S II is a powerful example of the genre’s ability to adapt and grow while retaining its core principles. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of artists like OG Slick and Chaz Bojorquez, who continue to shape and inspire the trajectory of street art.

Lately, I have transitioned mostly into mixed media paintings, but I've been doing hardcore graffiti, if you want to call it that, for thirty-plus years. It's what made me Cope2. But I like to change it up and show all my different styles. So, with this show, I can show my evolution of style and how I've progressed. "Versatile" shows where I came from and what I'm doing now," Cope2 said from his studio in New York. -Cope2 Cope2's Detroit Series 16: An Emblem of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Cope2, a name synonymous with the gritty vibrancy of street pop art and graffiti artwork, presents us with "Detroit Series 16", which encapsulates the essence of urban expression.

This particular piece of the Detroit Series is a rich tapestry of color, texture, and form. Using cradled wood as a substrate represents a departure from the temporary walls and subway cars that traditionally serve as canvases for graffiti artists. Cope2's choice of material marks a conscious step towards the permanence and longevity of his art, aligning with his desire to evolve and adapt over his thirty-plus years of creating. By employing a mixed media approach, Cope2 bridges the gap between graffiti's raw, street-level artistry and the refined, deliberate nature of studio-created works.

The artwork serves as a visual narrative of his stylistic evolution, revealing the layers of growth and change that define his career.

It is a visual representation of the artist's belief in change, the potential of graffiti to evolve, and his ability to reflect these shifts through his art. Impact and Legacy of Cope2's Detroit Series The impact of "Detroit Series 16" extends beyond the visual appeal of its vibrant colors and intricate forms. It represents a moment in time within the broader narrative of street art's assimilation into the fine art world. Cope2's work, with its signature aesthetic and commitment to graffiti's core values, has played a pivotal role in redefining the perceptions of street-inspired art. The series, particularly this piece, exemplifies the fluid nature of contemporary art, where genres intersect and new forms emerge. As street art continues to gain recognition and respect within the art community, works like "Detroit Series 16" stand as milestones along this path of cultural acceptance. They are reminders of the roots of this art form in the uncommissioned, often unsanctioned expressions found in urban environments worldwide. Yet, they also signify the possibility of transcendence, of art that can rise from the streets to hang on the walls of collectors and enthusiasts who value the authenticity and raw power that graffiti embodies. In assessing Cope2's "Detroit Series 16" legacy, one cannot help but recognize the artist's influence on the trajectory of street pop art and graffiti artwork.

Printed on Somerset fine art paper in a large 24 x 24 inch format, this edition was released in a run of only 25 signed and numbered pieces. The artwork centers on Cookie Monster—one of the most recognizable characters from American television—engaged in an explosive moment of mischievous joy as he grips a giant tricycle and hurtles across the frame. In one hand he clutches a cracked cookie mid-chomp, while Oscar the Grouch, reimagined as a toy figure embedded in the handlebars, reacts with comic alarm. Behind them, the oversized word BIG dominates the composition in bold magenta and yellow lettering, creating a retro pop typography backdrop that is both playful and iconic. Satire, Scale, and Childhood Iconography Brett Crawford's Hangry taps into nostalgia while dismantling it with energy and humor. Cookie Monster, in this image, is not a gentle puppet but a symbol of chaotic appetite—literally hangry. The absurd scale of the trike, the manic tilt of motion, and the exaggerated expression all point to an emotional state somewhere between joyride and meltdown. This portrayal is not for children, but for adults who grew up with these characters and now see them as symbols of emotion, memory, and marketing. Within the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Crawford’s rendition becomes a critique of overindulgence and commercial culture, disguised as slapstick. It is candy-coated irony painted in glossy perfection. Medium Mastery and Vibrant Detail Printed using advanced giclee techniques, Hangry delivers high-impact color and crispness that preserve the artist’s original depth and layering. Somerset fine art paper, known for its archival quality and subtle texture, supports the saturated hues and dynamic shading that define Crawford’s work. From the texture of Cookie Monster’s blue fur to the reflection on the plastic body of the toy vehicle, every detail is rendered with precision and clarity. The composition captures motion and volume with a painter’s sensitivity while honoring the flatness and boldness of pop visual language. The scale of the print enhances its presence, making it feel larger-than-life—much like its subject. Brett Crawford and the Evolution of Play into Pop Commentary Hangry is a pure expression of Crawford’s ongoing exploration of pop culture through exaggeration and surreal humor. By combining recognizable figures from children’s media with oversized props and exaggerated emotions, he reinvents nostalgia as satire. The addition of Oscar the Grouch as a passive object, almost decorative, adds layers of subtext about consumer culture and the domestication of rebellion. Cookie Monster’s primal hunger turns into a metaphor for modern impulse—whether for food, fame, or fun. Through this vibrant and unapologetically loud composition, Crawford transforms a simple scene into a complex visual narrative. As a work of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Hangry stands as a colorful and confrontational piece that is equal parts childhood memory and adult commentary.

D*Face's Place in the Pantheon of Pop Art DFace's 'Run Away' reflects the artist's position in the pop art landscape. Born in 1978, DFace has witnessed the evolution of street art from a subculture to a globally recognized form of artistic expression. His work often contains commentary on consumerism, fame, and the mechanics of the art world, all deftly woven into 'Run Away.'

The artwork, framed within a large custom frame and mat, is designed to make a statement, whether displayed in a gallery or a private collection.

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.

Heath Ledger Joker Construction Zone Original Street Sign Painting by RD-357 Real Deal One of a Kind Artwork on Real Metal NYC New York Construction Zone No Trespassing Street Sign by Graffiti Art Pop Artist. 2012 Signed Mixed Media Acrylic & Spray Paint on Reclaimed NYC New York Construction Zone No Trespassing Sign Painting Original Artwork Size 24x24 Batman Villian Played by Heath Ledger in the Movie as Joker Looking at the Viewer. RD Tag in Rust Red. RD-357's Heath Ledger Joker: A Fusion of Street Pop Art and Iconography The Heath Ledger Joker Construction Zone original street sign painting by RD-357, also known as Real Deal, encapsulates the essence of street pop art through its provocative use of public signage repurposed for artistic expression. Created in 2012, this mixed media acrylic and spray paint artwork transforms a New York City construction zone 'No Trespassing' sign into a canvas, depicting the iconic Batman villain played by Heath Ledger in a way that both challenges and captivates the viewer. Contextualizing RD-357's Artistic Approach RD-357, an artist whose real name remains elusive in the true spirit of street art anonymity, is known for his gritty interpretations of pop culture figures on unconventional canvases. This particular artwork measures 24x24 inches and is a testament to street art's versatility, pushing beyond traditional boundaries. RD-357 draws upon the anarchic spirit of the Joker, using a symbol of law and order – a construction sign – to present an image of chaos and rebellion. The irony is palpable; the sign, which once stood as a warning against unauthorized entry, now invites viewers to engage with the art in a personal, almost aggressive manner. Symbolism and Impact in RD-357's Joker Artwork This piece is not just a portrait; it is a statement. By choosing Heath Ledger's Joker, RD-357 taps into the collective consciousness of a society fascinated by the anti-hero archetype. Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was posthumously celebrated, and his death in 2008 left a cultural imprint that RD-357 leverages in this artwork. The juxtaposition of the Joker’s figure against the backdrop of a New York construction sign speaks volumes about the chaotic undercurrents within the perceived order of urban life. The use of mixed media, with acrylic and spray paint, highlights street art's raw, visceral nature, while also paying homage to the vibrancy of pop art. The viewer is confronted with the Joker's gaze, which, coupled with the bright warning colors of the construction sign, creates an unsettling yet magnetic presence. This interaction compels the audience to contemplate the layers of meaning behind the piece – from transforming public property into a medium for personal expression to the dialogue between art and spectator that challenges societal norms and the very definition of public space. In conclusion, RD-357's Heath Ledger Joker on a New York City construction sign is an outstanding example of how street pop art can merge cultural iconography with subversive messaging. Through this piece, the artist immortalizes a beloved film character and raises questions about authority, ownership, and the role of art in public discourse. The artwork remains a one-of-a-kind testament to the power of graffiti art to redefine spaces and provoke thought long after the paint has dried.

We Belong Together Silkscreen Print by Faile Hand-Pulled 4-Color on Lenox 100 Fine Art PaperLimited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 47 Artwork Size 18x24 Acrylic & Silkscreen Print A Vibrant Depiction of Devotion We Belong Together Silkscreen Print by Faile radiates with expressive color and striking contrasts that immediately draw the eye. Created in 2024 as a signed and numbered limited edition of 47, this 18x24 artwork exemplifies Faile’s talent for fusing romantic and playful elements with bold compositional techniques. The piece features acrylic applications on top of a four-color silkscreen process, all on Lenox 100 Fine Art Paper. This layering approach results in a mesmerizing collage of imagery, where vintage references are reimagined through a distinctly modern lens. Viewers encounter a central figure pair—a woman embracing a skeleton—while swirling patterns, ornamental motifs, and vibrant text occupy the surrounding space. These juxtapositions highlight a compelling tension between life, love, and the forces that bind people together. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Inspiration Faile, an American artistic partnership, is well known for incorporating references from Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork into their prints, paintings, and installations. Influences from comic strips, retro advertisements, and urban culture often intermingle with classical romance or religious iconography. This can be seen in the swirling lines and bright color fields of We Belong Together, echoing street art’s penchant for high-impact visuals and easily recognizable shapes. The design exemplifies how these urban influences harmonize with more traditional aesthetic elements. While the swirling hair and swirling filigree patterns recall vintage romance covers, the bold black outlines and limited color palette reflect street-inspired aesthetics that are both raw and immediate. The result is a piece that suits the gallery environment while paying homage to the grassroots roots of street-based creativity. Dynamic Symbolism and Evocative Imagery The composition of We Belong Together focuses on a deeply emotional moment: a pink-haired figure cradles a skeletal partner in a tender pose. This portrait evokes notions of everlasting commitment, hinting at love transcending physical boundaries. The skeleton’s half-smile and the woman’s embrace invite viewers to question how themes like mortality can be intertwined with devotion. Faile leverages these symbols to create a narrative that stretches beyond the immediate visual impact. Elements such as the fiery reds in the background suggest fervent passion, while delicate details—like the number tattooed on the woman’s shoulder—add subtle references that spark the imagination. The carefully layered acrylic paint accentuates textures and shadows, creating a sense of depth that heightens the dreamlike quality of the artwork. Collectible Appeal and Enduring Charm Collectors drawn to pop-inspired aesthetics and bold executions consider this silkscreen print a quintessential Faile piece. The fact that only 47 editions exist highlights its exclusivity and provides an extra layer of desirability for enthusiasts seeking something truly distinctive. Each version is carefully hand-pulled, ensuring that slight variations make every print unique. The 18x24 scale offers a large enough canvas to showcase the array of details, yet remains manageable for display in personal collections. Faile’s ability to unite high-impact visuals with nuanced commentary on love, life, and mortality positions We Belong Together as an artwork that resonates on multiple levels. Its combination of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork influences, acrylic adornments, and expressive silkscreen printing confirms Faile’s place among notable contemporary artists who continue to push the boundaries of accessible, narrative-driven art.

Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled Circle Cut 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 24x24 Circle Cut Silkscreen Print. Exploring the Circular Narrative: Cleon Peterson's 'Revolution Is a Mother' "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo," a silkscreen print by Cleon Peterson, encapsulates a poignant message through its unique circular format. The 2024 limited edition, with only 100 signed and numbered prints, dramatically portrays the revolution's cyclic and often self-destructive nature. This artwork, sized at 24x24 inches, is meticulously crafted on hand-deckled circle cut 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, highlighting the contrast between the piece's delicate presentation and its powerful content. Symbolism in Cleon Peterson's Tondo The tondo, a round piece of art, has a rich history dating back to the Renaissance and is often used to symbolize perfection or the divine. Peterson's adaptation of this format into street pop art and graffiti artwork is an inventive means of capturing the perpetual motion of conflict and societal upheaval. The circular frame compels the viewer's eye to move continuously around the image, echoing the cyclical and repetitive nature of the struggles depicted within. While bearing the starkness of Peterson's characteristic black-and-white palette, the print gains a new dimension through its shape, emphasizing the never-ending cycle of revolution and its consequences. The figures within the tondo engage in acts of violence and dominance, with no clear beginning or end, a poignant metaphor for the often unending turmoil of societal change. The Cultural Resonance of Peterson's Work Cleon Peterson's work stands at the crossroads of cultural reflection and artistic expression. "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo" is an artistic creation and a commentary on the nature of social movements and the recurring patterns of history. Peterson confronts the viewer with the paradox of revolution: it is both necessary for evolution and destructive by nature. This tondo silkscreen print contributes to the ongoing dialogue about the role of street pop art in modern discourse. Much like the street artists and graffiti artists before him, Peterson utilizes public forms of expression to comment on private pains and societal dilemmas. The limited edition nature of this work, along with the artist's renown, ensures that this piece will hold its place in contemporary art conversation for years to come. Cleon Peterson's "Revolution Is a Mother Who Eats Its Children Bone Tondo" is a compelling portrayal of the perpetual nature of social upheaval. It serves as a stark reminder of revolution's transformative yet often destructive power. This limited edition silkscreen print encapsulates the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork, melding historical, artistic formats with contemporary themes to provoke thought, encourage reflection, and challenge the viewer's perspective on the cycles of change.

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 The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Silkscreen Print 2008 The 2008 The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP Artist Proof silkscreen print is a rare collaboration between Shepard Fairey, internationally recognized as OBEY, and stencil pioneer Blek le Rat.

At the center, a suited man carries bags labeled with text, positioned alongside a goat, while a police officer passes in the foreground. To the right, a telephone booth punctuates the scene, grounding the work in the everyday architecture of the city. The layering of graffiti tags, political scrawls, and the surreal juxtaposition of figures evoke themes of consumerism, authority, and rebellion. The suited figure in particular hints at urban alienation, while the presence of the goat and booth adds absurdity, making the composition at once humorous and sharply critical. Collaboration Between Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat Blek le Rat, born Xavier Prou in 1951 in France, is widely credited as the father of stencil graffiti, bringing social commentary directly into the streets of Paris beginning in the 1980s. Shepard Fairey, born in 1970 in Charleston, South Carolina, built his reputation through his OBEY sticker campaign and politically engaged prints, including the Hope poster of Barack Obama. Their collaborative works, such as The Man Who Walks Through Walls, highlight a shared belief in the role of public art as a platform for protest and dialogue. The merging of Fairey’s graphic sensibilities with Blek’s direct stencil approach emphasizes the continuity between two generations of politically minded street artists. Rarity and Significance of the Artist Proof The Artist Proof edition carries special weight within the print world, typically produced in very small quantities and often retained by the artists. Signed by both Shepard Fairey and Blek le Rat and marked AP, this print holds heightened collectible value and authenticity. Beyond rarity, its imagery and collaborative nature underscore the strength of street art as a vehicle for political and cultural critique. The Man Who Walks Through Walls AP silkscreen print is not just a fine art object but also a vivid statement on urban culture, consumerism, and resistance, making it a defining example within the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
