Malt Continuous Thunder Archival Print by Malt
Continuous Thunder Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Malt Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The story behind the piece is searching to fill that empty space inside when losing someone very close to you. As the saying goes time heals all wounds, until then it's "Continuous Thunder." I always tend to work in a series of color combos, mostly in 3's. This series being one of them.The idea starts the way most of my pieces come about. Laying down the background and staring for a while. Then figuring out where I want the flow of the piece to go. With this piece it's kind of a "X" pattern. I wanted to do a hopscotch kinda deal with the maroons and pinks over the greys and the greys over the maroons and pinks. Along with the prints and original painting there are two smaller complimentary pieces available with this RUN." - Malt

I wanted to do a non-traditional print, just use the actual bold black lines as the main image, but I wanted to personalize each one. You know customize it. Every one is going to be different, color, shape, everything minus the main image itself. " - Malt aka Brown Bag Detroit

Malt Kodak Owl Archival Print by Malt
Kodak Owl Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Malt x Mark Penxa Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The Kodak Owl is a nod to our youth which was firmly rooted in skateboarding and graphic imagery of the late ’ ’80s. Since first exploring the city as teenagers and again now as adults, the owl has remained a constant visitor in both of our work through the years. This print is of one of the first completed paintings of our collaborative series which is an exercise in striking a balance between the traditional, sentimental, and chaotic. This first piece is really where the artistic conversation between Malt and I really took shape - about who we are individually and what we wanted to create together." - Mark Penxa
