He-Man & Battle Cat Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Madsaki x MOTU. 2020 Madsaki and Mattel Creations teamed up to create these exclusive Madsaki x Masters of the Universe HE-MAN and BATTLE CAT Figures. The sculpture stands 16.75 inches tall. MADSAKI and MATTEL CREATIONS team up to create this exclusive and iconic drop-a scaled down re-creation of the larger-than-life HE-MAN® and BATTLE CAT® sculpture that turned the heads of fans and art critics alike as a centerpiece of MADSAKI'S "1984" solo exhibition at Tokyo's Kaikai Kiki Gallery in 2020. Measuring 17 inches tall and sculpted in an 80's cartoon style with a spray of jaw dropping modern-day street-style graffiti artwork, we proudly présent the most famous hero in all of Eternia", HE-MAN and the ferocious BATTLE CAT® in a manner that truly blurs the lines between toy and art masterpiece. Each sculpture includes a hand-signed certificate of authenticity from MADSAKI as well as white gloves to better care for your art piece. Displayed With Box MADSAKI x MOTU – He-Man & Battle Cat in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The He-Man & Battle Cat limited edition vinyl sculpture by MADSAKI, produced in collaboration with Mattel Creations in 2020, is a vivid collision of nostalgia, pop culture, and urban rebellion—an unmistakable contribution to the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Originally unveiled as a centerpiece at MADSAKI’s 1984 solo exhibition at Tokyo’s Kaikai Kiki Gallery, this scaled-down 17-inch version captures the wild energy of its monumental counterpart while delivering a high-octane dose of '80s cartoon absurdity, rendered in riotous color and graffiti-style flair. With fluorescent green, electric pink, and piercing orange as the dominant palette, the piece transforms two of the most iconic characters from the Masters of the Universe franchise—He-Man and Battle Cat—into contemporary street art figures. Far from being a simple homage, MADSAKI’s version reimagines the figures as avatars of pop mythology filtered through a graffiti artist’s eye. The weaponry, armor, and pose remain true to the original animation aesthetics, but the exaggerated colors and chaotic paint styling push this artwork into a new domain where fine art, vinyl collectible, and graffiti sensibility coexist. Nostalgia Weaponized in Urban Neon MADSAKI’s approach is rooted in remix culture, a cornerstone of Street Pop Art. By appropriating the visual language of childhood—He-Man being one of the most recognized animated heroes of the 1980s—and subjecting it to the visual distortion of neon saturation and aggressive outlines, he elevates kitsch into critique. This isn't just about remembering Saturday morning cartoons. It’s about weaponizing those memories and examining how commercial entertainment shaped identity, masculinity, and fantasy in late capitalist culture. Battle Cat, usually a symbol of strength and raw primal energy, becomes a neon-soaked beast of postmodern absurdity, outfitted in shocking pink and radioactive green. MADSAKI transforms him from a beast of war into a graffiti-coded monument of cultural excess. He-Man, still holding his power sword aloft, looks less like a heroic defender and more like a psychedelic gladiator from the subconscious of a street artist raised on VHS and irony. From Canvas to Vinyl: MADSAKI's Street Pop Mutation MADSAKI is no stranger to remixing icons. Known for his drippy-eyed renditions of Western masterpieces and manga figures, he blends Japanese street sensibilities with New York-style graffiti lineage. His transition into vinyl sculpture with Mattel represents the natural evolution of Street Pop Art—where the gallery wall meets the collectible shelf, and where nostalgia is no longer passive but radicalized. This figure blurs lines between sculpture and street installation. The color choices mimic spray can aesthetics, and the glossy surfaces echo the polish of vinyl murals and toy design. Like KAWS, Sket-One, or Ron English, MADSAKI proves that sculptural vinyl can be a medium of confrontation—not just consumption. The figure comes with a hand-signed certificate and gloves for display, reinforcing its identity as both an artwork and a cultural artifact. MADSAKI’s Place in the Graffiti-Pop Canon MADSAKI’s He-Man & Battle Cat is a definitive artifact of modern Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It combines satire, technical precision, collectible appeal, and cultural critique. Rather than separating art from toy or low from high, MADSAKI merges all categories into one ferocious drop that challenges the viewer’s nostalgia and their assumptions about what constitutes fine art. This sculpture is not simply fan service—it’s subversion. It transforms childhood heroes into fluorescent avatars of postmodern identity, rendered in the chromatic chaos of graffiti language. By injecting the streets into the plastic skin of global pop icons, MADSAKI cements his place among the artists reshaping visual culture one spray, sculpt, and scream at a time.

Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold Silkscreen Print by Fin DAC Hand-Pulled 8-Color on Full Bleed Hand Deckled 410gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Findac Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 20x31.5 Silkscreen Print Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold Silkscreen Print by Fin DAC Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold is a 2023 silkscreen masterpiece by renowned street pop art artist Fin DAC. Printed on full bleed, hand-deckled 410gsm Somerset fine art paper, this work measures 20 by 31.5 inches and comes from a strictly limited edition of only 40 signed and numbered prints. The print is created using an intricate 8-color silkscreen process, featuring a finely rendered monochromatic portrait that is electrified by a bold, metallic yellow gold mask motif. This juxtaposition of grayscale hyperrealism with vibrant symbolic color is a hallmark of Fin DAC's visual language and contributes to his ongoing commentary on cultural beauty and feminine power. Signature Style and Cultural Emblems of Fin DAC Fin DAC, born in Ireland and now internationally recognized, has redefined female portraiture in street pop art and graffiti artwork through his consistent and deliberate visual symbolism. His signature aesthetic includes masked women adorned with color-splashed facial motifs that recall traditional Asian, South American, or tribal ceremonial elements. Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold exemplifies this ongoing thematic approach. The woman in this piece gazes directly at the viewer, poised yet guarded, her piercing eyes offset by the dripping gold mask over her upper face. Her nose ring, textured ring, and painted fingernails add to the layered storytelling that often defines Fin DAC’s subjects—powerful yet introspective, adorned yet undiminished. Process, Materials, and Artistic Execution The use of 410gsm Somerset paper is a deliberate choice, enhancing the tactile depth of the work and allowing the metallic pigment to reflect light in varying tones depending on the viewer's angle. The 8-color hand-pulled silkscreen method allows for extreme control and layering, resulting in a print that feels almost photographic while retaining its raw street art origin. The hand-deckled edges give the print a raw, sculptural quality that complements the street-to-gallery ethos central to Fin DAC's practice. These production details are not incidental—they are essential to understanding how street pop art has evolved into a serious collectible fine art medium. Contemporary Relevance in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Haiconca Metallic Yellow Gold stands as a visually arresting reflection on identity, agency, and perception. The metallic yellow mask is both shield and declaration—a visual metaphor for the roles women adopt or resist in contemporary society. Fin DAC’s work continues to elevate women of diverse cultural backgrounds not as exotic symbols, but as empowered individuals commanding their presence across urban and gallery landscapes. In the context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, this piece bridges photorealistic portraiture with bold iconography, highlighting Fin DAC’s place as a pivotal figure in the genre. With only 40 editions produced, this 2023 release offers collectors a rare and powerful work that speaks directly to the moment while maintaining timeless aesthetic and emotional depth.

War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway Variable Stencil Edition Acrylic Artwork on Hand Deckled Fine Art Paper by Street Artists Shepard Fairey x Ernesto Yerena Montejano x Hecho Con Ganas x Obey. 2022 War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway 20x26.5 inches. Signed & Numbered Ultra Rare Edition of 14. Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on Paper. Signed by Shepard Fairey, Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner. "Created during the Iraq war, but the quest for peace requires perpetual vigilance, and the current invasion of Ukraine is a reminder of the brutality of war. The “War By Numbers” image is a statement about not becoming desensitized by war to the extent that it becomes as banal as a paint-by-numbers image. The “Peace Elephant” is an appeal to our sense of Karma and harmony with the world around us." - Shepard Fairey A profound intersection of artistry and activism emerges in "War By Numbers VSE- OG Colorway," an emblematic piece presented by the collaborative brilliance of Shepard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Hecho Con Ganas, and Obey. Showcased on meticulously hand-deckled fine art paper, this 20x26.5 inch artwork not only exemplifies the prowess of its creators but also delves deeply into the social and political fabric of contemporary global scenarios. Dated 2022, this piece holds the distinction of being an ultra-rare Variable Stencil Edition (VSE) on paper, with only 14 such editions in existence, each one thoughtfully signed and numbered. Notably, the presence of the Hecho Con Ganas publishing chop in the lower-left corner augments its authenticity and intrinsic value. While the artwork itself is a marvel of color interplay and design, its underlying message is both timeless and urgent. Shepard Fairey's own words elucidate the motivation behind its creation, highlighting its inception during the Iraq war. Yet, its resonance extends beyond that particular conflict. The piece emerges as an enduring reminder of the costs of warfare, particularly with the poignant backdrop of the recent Ukraine invasion. Fairey astutely draws attention to the dangers of becoming inured to the horrors of conflict, suggesting that society must never allow war's devastation to become as commonplace and mundane as a paint-by-numbers image. This sentiment is further emphasized by the inclusion of the "Peace Elephant," symbolizing the universal aspiration for harmony and an appeal to humanity's collective conscience. In the vast realm of pop art, street art, and graffiti, "War By Numbers" stands as a testament to art's ability to transcend aesthetic appeal, challenging viewers to confront and engage with the world's most pressing issues.

R! Original Acrylic Spray Paint Painting by Dr Revolt One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2023 Signed Acrylic Paint & Spray Paint Mixed Media Painting Original Artwork Size 18.25x20. Some craquelure within signature and right of canvas. Floated and framed without glass. Framed Dimensions 20x21.5 Inches R! by Dr Revolt – Explosive Letterform Energy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork R! is a 2023 original mixed media painting by New York graffiti icon Dr Revolt, executed in acrylic and spray paint on canvas and measuring 18.25 x 20 inches, floated and framed at 20 x 21.5 inches. Signed in the lower corner with the artist’s signature tag, this piece showcases the explosive dynamism and retro graphic power that define Dr Revolt’s signature style. At its core, R! is a celebration of letterform energy—bold, rounded, kinetic, and instantly commanding attention. The bright yellow and white central letter, outlined with deep black and rimmed with green shadowing, bursts forward from a backdrop of purple haze and black abstracted comic-style flourishes. The exclamation point adds urgency, humor, and impact, anchoring the piece firmly within the vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Wildstyle Heritage and Cartoon Influence Dr Revolt’s roots trace back to the earliest days of graffiti’s golden age in late 1970s New York, where he was a founding member of the Rolling Thunder Writers crew. His evolution from subway burners to fine art canvas has retained all the vitality and visual attitude of his street beginnings. In R!, the boldness of the wildstyle era is made immediate and legible, leaning more into character-driven graphic punch than complex interlocking text. This reflects Dr Revolt’s long-standing fusion of graffiti with pop culture references, especially the visual language of cartoons, comic books, and psychedelic posters. The soft purple spray fade in the background and sharp black ink splatter details recall both vintage animation effects and early comic panel transitions. In this context, R! reads not only as a letter but as a gesture—a sound, a pop, a punchline. This is Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork distilled into pure gesture. Material Tension and Surface Vibration The materials of R! are as important as the image itself. Acrylic and spray paint meet in an organic yet graphic fusion, with the yellow-to-white blend of the letterform adding depth and weight. The heavy black outlines contrast with the vibrant inner glow, enhancing the forward motion of the composition. There is slight craquelure present within the signature and on the right of the canvas, suggesting the rawness and aging process of the media—reminders of the artist’s physical engagement with surface. The work floats in its frame without glass, allowing the texture and saturation to remain visually present. This mode of presentation highlights the objecthood of the piece, giving it the feeling of both gallery painting and relic of wall-based graffiti culture. Dr Revolt and the Graphic Heart of Graffiti R! is more than a stylized letter. It is a proclamation, a stamp of authorship, and a visual sonic boom. It channels the essence of Dr Revolt’s decades-long impact on graffiti as both a technical style and a cultural philosophy. His approach is unfiltered and confident, favoring iconic gestures over decorative complexity. The composition is simple in structure yet visually massive, reflecting the artist’s belief in the power of single-letter identity, motion lines, and visual humor. As a figure in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Dr Revolt continues to show how graffiti can evolve without losing its raw immediacy. R! is a reminder that a single character, when executed with knowledge, boldness, and love for the culture, can carry the weight of a whole legacy.

Wolf Like Me Original Painting Acrylic on Mixed-Media Reclaimed Wood Panel by Bask Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. “The esthetic of my work is similar to the Detroit landscape. The re-purposed nature of my art plays off of panels, wood, signs, that once were proudly displayed. But over the years they stopped serving their intended purpose and thrown out. The inspiration behind the work I made for this show was Detroit's strengths, struggles, and landscape. I took the opportunity to move to Detroit fourteen years ago, but for a number of reasons beyond my control, my stay lasted only 4 years. However, that was long enough for the city to have a profound impact on my work as well as my consciousness towards social and political issues. And even though I haven't called Detroit home in 9 years, the impression it stamped on me is something I hope I never lose. And it was this appreciation for the influence that DETROIT has had on me, that inspired the work I made for the show.” -Bask

The artist behind this creation, Hijack, is the offspring of the renowned street artist Mr. Brainwash (real name Thierry Guetta). Hijack has carved out his niche in the urban art scene, with his works sought after by enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. The BFF Valentine's Day Silkscreen Print is a hand-pulled artwork on fine art paper that encapsulates the essence of street pop art. Hijack's masterful use of this medium in the 2024 limited edition, consisting of only 92 pieces signed and numbered by the artist, underlines the exclusivity and personal touch that resonates with the art connoisseur's sensibility. Measuring 20x30, this silkscreen print is a testament to the artist's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Intimacy and Iconography: The Visual Language of Hijack's Artwork Hijack's print commands attention with its sizeable heart pulsating in the backdrop, symbolizing the universal emblem of love and affection. The subject, a hooded figure, sits contemplatively, absorbed in thought, casting an aura of reflective solitude. This juxtaposition of a bold, symbolic heart with a solitary figure invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of personal connections and the reflective nature of love itself. Here, Hijack's artistry shines, blending the street's immediacy and the profundity of individual experience. The choice of a limited color palette — the assertive red, sunny yellow, and calming teal, set against a stark white figure and background, punctuated with playful polka dots — echoes the work of pop art pioneers while infusing it with the edginess of street art. The print's meticulous layering and sharp contrasts, inherent in the silkscreen method, highlight the artist's skill and echo the visual cacophony of street murals and graffiti tags. Hijack: A Distinct Voice in Street Pop and Graffiti Art Born and raised in the cultural melting pot of Los Angeles, California, Hijack's immersion in an environment rich with street art heritage has significantly influenced his artistic trajectory. The anonymity that often accompanies street artists adds a mystique to Hijack's work, allowing the art to communicate directly with the audience. His style, characterized by its bold lines, stenciled imagery, and socio-political commentary, bridges personal expression with public art forms. In the BFF Valentine's Day Silkscreen Print, we see this personal-public dialogue manifest. The piece isn't just a visual treat; it's a snapshot of a deeply personal and universally understood emotion. By depicting such a significant emotion through street pop art, Hijack invites a broader audience to engage with the sentimentality often reserved for more traditional depictions of Valentine's Day. The artwork resonates with the spirit of graffiti artwork, where the environment plays a crucial role in the narrative. Similarly, Hijack's print blurs the line between personal space and public exhibition, inviting the rawness of the street into intimate spaces. This piece stands out as a powerful example of how contemporary artists can meld the disparate worlds of street art and fine art, creating pieces that are both accessible and deeply evocative. The BFF Valentine's Day Silkscreen Print by Hijack is more than just a depiction of love or a hallmark of street pop art; it is an interaction between viewer and creator. Each print, by its very nature of being hand-pulled, bears individual characteristics — subtle variations that make each one unique, much like the personal stories of love they represent. The limited nature of the edition amplifies this connection, ensuring that each piece holds a special place in the continuum of street pop and graffiti art. Through this artwork, Hijack offers an opportunity to reflect on the personal echoes within the public spectacles of love and street art. With its bold iconography and introspective subject, the print captures the dual essence of street pop art — the public and the personal, the glorious and the granular. It's a visual valentine from the streets, a love letter written in the language of graffiti, and a piece that reminds us of the emotional depth that can be found in the most unexpected of canvases.

Dissected Companion Grey Silkscreen Print by Kaws- Brian Donnelly Hand-Pulled on Wove Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2006 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x20 Silkscreen Print Floated and framed under acrylic. Framed Dimensions 20.25 X 20.25 Inches KAWS Brian Donnelly Dissected Companion Grey Silkscreen Print 2006 The 2006 Dissected Companion Grey silkscreen print by Brian Donnelly, professionally known as KAWS, stands as one of the most recognizable works in the evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 20 x 20 inches, this limited edition piece was hand-pulled on wove fine art paper in a signed and numbered edition of 100. The artwork depicts KAWS’ iconic Companion figure split symmetrically down the center—one half retaining its smooth, cartoon-like exterior, the other revealing an intricate anatomical cross-section that exposes muscles, organs, and bone structure. This interplay between exterior identity and inner anatomy has become one of KAWS’ most celebrated artistic motifs. Visual Language and Graphic Precision The Dissected Companion Grey uses a limited grayscale palette, emphasizing the sharp contrast between the simplified, pop-inspired figure on the left and the hyper-detailed anatomical rendering on the right. KAWS’ graphic precision in silkscreen printing ensures clean linework and flat, even color application, hallmarks of his approach to high-impact, collectible print editions. The anatomical side adds unexpected depth to the work, offering a literal and metaphorical look beneath the surface, while the monochrome treatment lends a sleek, museum-quality presence to the composition. Rarity and Collectible Status Produced in a strictly limited edition of only 100, this print was signed and numbered by the artist in pencil, ensuring authenticity and collectibility. The example shown is professionally floated and framed under acrylic, bringing the framed dimensions to 20.25 x 20.25 inches, which enhances presentation while preserving the integrity of the fine art paper. As an early 2000s release, it represents a formative stage in KAWS’ career, when his transition from street-based graffiti to global fine art recognition was rapidly gaining momentum. Pieces from this period are highly sought after due to their scarcity and the artist’s rising influence in contemporary art markets. KAWS’ Cultural and Artistic Impact Brian Donnelly, born in 1974 in Jersey City, New Jersey, began as a graffiti artist in the streets of New York before moving into painting, sculpture, and editioned prints. The Companion figure, introduced in the late 1990s, has since become a cornerstone of his practice, embodying themes of vulnerability, consumerism, and the human condition. By merging cartoon aesthetics with anatomical dissection, KAWS invites viewers to reconsider familiar pop culture forms through a lens of introspection and complexity. The Dissected Companion Grey is not only a striking visual work but also a pivotal moment in the development of KAWS’ ability to merge street sensibilities with fine art production, making it an enduring highlight in the history of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print by Hijack Hand Spray Painted on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2024 Signed Original Unique Hand Painted Spray Paint Artwork Size 20x30 Silkscreen Print Embracing Emotion Through the Vibrancy of Street Pop Art: Hijack's BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Print In the pantheon of modern urban art, the expressive power of street pop art is undeniable, and its influence can be felt rippling through the works of countless artists. Among these, Hijack, a pseudonym for the artist who indeed hijacks public consciousness with vibrant images, stands out with his piece BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print. This artwork, released in 2024, bears the marks of a creator deeply rooted in the culture of Los Angeles, California, where the streets serve as an ever-evolving canvas for declarations of all forms. Hijack, thriving in his father's legacy, Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta), takes to the stage of fine art with a daring that is reminiscent of his progenitor and distinct in its direction. This piece, a hand-spray-painted masterpiece on fine art paper, encapsulates graffiti artwork's spontaneous and spirited essence. Its size, a substantial 20x30, makes it not just a statement but an announcement, a proclamation of the influence of street art on the more sanitized realms of fine art galleries. The BFF Unique 1 Valentine's Day Original Silkscreen Print is a symphony of emotion, meticulously handcrafted and singular in its edition. Each signed original stands as an individual homage to the intricacies of human connection, lovingly rendered through spray paint - a material so intrinsically linked with street art's rebellious and outspoken nature. The Bold Heart of Street Art: Decoding the Visual Syntax of Hijack's Silkscreen Print At the heart of Hijack's print lies a brilliant red heart, pulsating with energy against a backdrop that melds form with color in a dance of dripping paint and deliberate line work. The figure within the frame - hooded, head bowed - invites contemplation, suggesting a narrative as deep as the layers of paint that construct the image. This interplay of iconography and anonymity speaks to the core of what graffiti artwork can be: a mirror to the soul set within the unfettered landscapes of urban environments. The technique of silkscreen printing, renowned for its role in the rise of pop art, finds renewed life in Hijack's hands. The tactile quality of the hand-spray-painted elements of this work brings a sense of immediacy, a rawness often lost in mechanical reproduction. This confluence of traditional methods with the vibrancy of street art techniques results in a piece that is as much an artifact as a slice of contemporary expression. Hijack's nuanced approach to his craft, utilizing the controlled environment of silkscreen printing and the unpredictable nature of spray paint, reflects a duality in much of street pop art. This duality acknowledges the planned and the spontaneous, the personal and the public, the ephemeral and the eternal in ways few other art forms can.
