D*Face- Dean Stockton Pop Tart- Yellow Silkscreen Fine Art Print by D*Face- Dean Stockton
Pop Tart- Yellow Hand-Pulled 7-Color Framed Silkscreen Print on 410gsm Somerset Satin White Paper by Artist D*Face- Dean Stockton Limited Edition Fine Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Framed Limited Edition of 125 Artwork Size 30x29 Framed With a Large Custom Frame & Mat. Pop Tart (Yellow), 2007 Screenprint in colors on paper 30 x 29 inches (76.2 x 73.7 cm) (sheet) Ed. 125 Signed and numbered in pencil along the lower edge. Published by Black Rat Press D*Face Dean Stockton Pop Tart Yellow Silkscreen Print 2007 The 2007 Pop Tart Yellow silkscreen print by British artist Dean Stockton, professionally known as D*Face, is a seminal example of his satirical take on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 30 x 29 inches and pulled by hand in seven colors on 410gsm Somerset Satin White paper, this limited edition of 125 was published by Black Rat Press, one of London’s most influential print studios for contemporary street artists. Each piece is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil along the lower edge, affirming its authenticity and collectible status. Iconography and Cultural Critique The imagery in Pop Tart Yellow is unmistakably drawn from Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn Monroe portraits, yet DFace overlays the glamorous visage with his own irreverent twist. Marilyn’s face is partially transformed into a skull, with hollowed eyes and dripping paint effect that speaks to both the fragility of celebrity and the inevitability of decay. Wing-like cartoon details sprouting from her head add a surreal, satirical touch, a reminder of the way fame often elevates cultural figures to mythical status even as it dehumanizes them. This duality between beauty and mortality is a recurring theme in DFace’s practice, amplifying the critique of idolization and mass media’s manipulation of public perception. Technique and Execution Executed as a seven-color silkscreen, the work combines bold flat colors with the grittier textures of drips and distressed detailing. The canary yellow background heightens the pop art vibrancy while creating sharp contrast with the black skeletal overlay and Marilyn’s bright red lips. D*Face’s choice of Somerset Satin 410gsm paper underscores the print’s status as fine art, marrying street aesthetics with museum-quality execution. This approach reflects his ability to bring graffiti-inspired design into the gallery setting without losing the edge and immediacy that characterizes his outdoor interventions. D*Face’s Role in Contemporary Street Art Dean Stockton, born in London in 1978, has established himself as a central figure in the global street art movement, blending punk-inspired graphics, comic book aesthetics, and pop culture satire. His works often interrogate themes of fame, consumerism, love, and mortality, using recognizable cultural icons as vehicles for commentary. Pop Tart Yellow stands as a key example of his strategy to remix the imagery of Warhol and Monroe, figures who themselves embody the commodification of beauty and celebrity. By injecting darker undertones and irreverent humor, D*Face transforms a pop art classic into a piece that resonates with contemporary audiences while questioning the very foundations of fame-driven culture. This limited edition silkscreen remains one of his most iconic fine art releases, bridging his graffiti roots with the collectible print market.

D*Face- Dean Stockton Pop Tart Yellow Unique Collage Silkscreen Print by D*Face- Dean Stockton
Pop Tart Yellow Unique HPM Original Collage Silkscreen Print by D*Face- Dean Stockton Screen Print on Wove Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2007 Signed & Numbered Collage HPM Embellished Unique Original Artwork Size 30x29 Framed Exploring the Vibrant Convergence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The fusion of street pop art and graffiti artwork often creates a vivid tableau that not only captures the eye but also provokes thought and commentary on societal issues. The "Pop Tart Yellow Unique HPM Original Collage Silkscreen Print" by the renowned British artist D*Face, whose real name is Dean Stockton, exemplifies this dynamic. Produced in 2007, this limited-edition work is an engaging piece that is visually arresting and thematically complex. Dean Stockton and the Allure of Screen Printing Dean Stockton, better known as D*Face, has become a standout figure in contemporary street art. His work often critiques the consumerist culture, the mechanization of modern life, and the omnipresent media that shape our realities. Born in London, Stockton is alive as of my last update, and his work continues to influence the trajectory of street art globally. The "Pop Tart Yellow" work showcases"his distinctive approach to street pop art, infusing elements of graffiti with traditional pop art aesthetics. The silkscreen process, a hallmark of pop art since its popularization by figures like Andy Warhol, is central to the visual impact of "Pop Tart Yellow." "t allows Stockto" to layer colors and images, creating an almost tangible texture. This method, which entails pushing ink through a screen to transfer an image onto a substrate, adds to the uniqueness of each piece, especially when hand embellishments are involved. The Cultural Commentary of "Pop Tart Yellow" U" on observing" "Pop Tart Yellow" p" int, one is str"ck by its bold use of color and the juxtaposition of a skeletal figure adorned with cartoon-like features. The artwork is a veritable cornucopia of social commentary, steeped in the visual language of both street and pop art. The yellow backdrop serves as an eye-catching element and a symbol of caution, mirroring the cautionary tales often told by street artists about the world around us. The elements of collage and the hand-finished touches, indicated by "HPM" (Hand Painted Multiple), point" to "the unique nature of each print within the limited series. Stockon's choice to hand-embellish tStockon's underscores the street art ethos of originality and direct engagement with the artwork. The skeletal figure, a recurring motif in D*Face's work, invokes the temporaliD*Face'sman existence and the often superficial layering of societal expectations and norms. The imagery in "Pop Tart Yellow" reflects a disenchantment with the"police state and the perpetual cycle of violence, as suggested by the text fragments accompanying the visual elements. Stockton's work is rarely without a Stockton'sedge, and this piece continues in that vein, challenging the viewer to reflect on the structures of power and authority that govern everyday life. The artwork’s dimensions, 30x29 inches, make it a commanding presence in any space. As with many street art pieces, the scale contributes to the impact, and even when confined within a frame, "Pop Tart Yellow" retains the raw energy typically found in Stockton’s more enormous murals. The act of Stockton Street art, a form traditionally found in the brief space of the urban landscape, further blurs the lines between high art and accessible street culture. Legacy and Influence in Modern Street Art The legacy of street pop art and graffiti artwork like "Pop Tart Yellow" lies in its ability" to remain relevant over the years. Though created in 2007, the thematic concerns of the piece resonate strongly in today's social and political climate. Today's art has long been a medium for marginalized voices and a platform for alternative narratives in the public sphere. As a limited edition work, "Pop Tart Yellow" allows collectors "to hold a piece "of that conversation, a moment of that dialogue immortalized through the artist's lens. D*Face’s body of artwork D*Face's "Pop Tart Yellow" provides a critical"l lens through which to view our contemporary world. Stockton's art compels us to confront Stockton's mundane and the political in one fell swoop. His influence extends beyond the streets and into the galleries, bridging the gap between what art can be and what it has the potential to communicate. The vibrant interplay between color, text, and imagery in "Pop Tart Yellow" is a testament to "Tockton’s skill" in harnessing Stockton's pop art to open conversations and challenge perceptions. Much like the rest of his oeuvre, this piece will continue to captivate and inspire, inviting onlookers to partake in a visual feast that is both a reflection and a critique of the world we navigate.

Copyright Marilyn Whaam New Love Forever Blotter Paper Archival Print by Copyright
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.

Pure Evil Marilyn Pure Joy Oxblood Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil
Marilyn Pure Joy Oxblood 3 Color Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil Hand-Pulled on Deckled 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of TBD Artwork Size 16x20 Silkscreen Print of Hollywood Actress, Marilyn Monroe Stylized in Aqua Pink Oxblood. Marilyn Pure Joy Oxblood by Pure Evil in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marilyn Pure Joy Oxblood is a bold 2025 limited edition silkscreen by Charles Uzzell-Edwards, widely recognized in contemporary art as Pure Evil. Printed in three colors and hand-pulled on 300gsm Somerset fine art paper with a deckled edge, this work measures 16 by 20 inches and continues the artist’s ongoing portrait series that pays homage to historic icons through the lens of modern subversion. Marilyn Monroe, arguably one of the most recognizable faces in pop culture history, is depicted here in high-contrast oxblood pink and white, with icy highlights and Pure Evil’s signature teardrop motif bleeding downward in stark visual contrast. The color palette used here transforms Monroe from nostalgic relic to striking subject of introspective commentary, revealing how fame and fragility coexist. Recontextualizing Icons in the Street Pop Art Tradition The piece draws upon the language of both traditional pop art and the coded signals of street art, combining high fashion aesthetics with raw commentary. Pure Evil uses silkscreen printing in the same spirit as Andy Warhol but pivots into darker emotional territory by introducing the black teardrop, a motif he has explored throughout his career. The teardrop is not only a stylistic mark but a narrative device, suggesting a sense of mourning for innocence lost or a critique of how fame consumes individuality. By situating Monroe in a saturated oxblood tone, the print emphasizes drama, sensuality, and emotional intensity, adding new depth to a figure often idealized and flattened by commercial culture. The Role of Color and Print Technique in Emotional Impact The oxblood palette plays a central role in how this version of the Pure Joy series communicates urgency and sorrow. It deviates from the traditional warm Hollywood palettes typically used to represent Monroe. The deep red suggests passion, obsession, or even violence in its undertone. Set against sharp white fields and shadowed detailing, the silhouette of Monroe becomes even more haunting. Silkscreen printing, with its defined edges and clean layering, reinforces the duality between aesthetic control and emotional chaos. The deckled edge of the Somerset paper adds a tactile, physical quality that grounds the artwork, bridging its gallery-worthy presence with its roots in stencil-based urban practices. Pure Evil’s Commentary Through Celebrity Portraiture Pure Evil’s reinterpretation of Monroe is more than a pop cultural remix. It is a quiet indictment of how beauty, iconography, and emotional exploitation are packaged in mass media. Monroe’s image, once framed in soft glamour, now stares from this work with a complex tension between allure and trauma. The oxblood tone gives voice to her human vulnerability without removing her symbolic power. Charles Uzzell-Edwards, operating under the name Pure Evil, has developed a recognizable style that merges graffiti mark-making with screenprint precision. Through the Marilyn Pure Joy Oxblood edition, he contributes to a broader conversation within street pop art and graffiti artwork that challenges viewers to reconsider what lies behind the celebrity image and to reckon with its costs.

Pure Evil Marilyn Pure Joy Yellow Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil
Marilyn Pure Joy Yellow 3 Color Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil Hand-Pulled on Deckled 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of TBD Artwork Size 16x20 Silkscreen Print of Hollywood Actress, Marilyn Monroe Stylized in Black & Yellow. Marilyn Pure Joy Yellow by Pure Evil as Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marilyn Pure Joy Yellow is a hand-pulled 3 color silkscreen print created by the London-based artist Pure Evil, born Charles Uzzell-Edwards. Printed on 300gsm deckled Somerset fine art paper, the 2025 signed and numbered edition captures the essence of both pop culture iconography and emotional minimalism through a unique lens of urban commentary. Sized at 16 x 20 inches, the artwork features a stylized portrayal of Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe rendered in stark black and soft yellow tones, layered with Pure Evil’s trademark tear motif—a thick black streak cascading from one eye, cutting vertically across the paper. This striking visual device has become a hallmark of the artist’s practice and is a powerful form of commentary within street pop art and graffiti artwork. The Pop Icon Reimagined Through a Graffiti Lens Pure Evil recontextualizes Monroe, not as a flawless screen goddess, but as a fractured symbol of glamour and vulnerability. Rather than focusing on realism, the portrait embraces stylization and abstraction that allows the subject’s mythos to be reinterpreted. The yellow accents in the hair evoke mid-century beauty culture, but the stark monochrome contrasts emphasize a sense of loss or distortion. It is not simply a celebration of fame; it is a meditation on its cost. The vertical black tear, recurring across Pure Evil’s works, is not decorative. It evokes themes of trauma, impermanence, and identity loss associated with celebrity worship. By blending graffiti aesthetics with pop culture subjects, this work destabilizes nostalgia and forces reconsideration of public memory. Fine Art Materials with Street-Driven Intent Though grounded in the lineage of street art, this silkscreen is printed using fine art techniques and materials. The 300gsm Somerset paper and hand-deckled edges signal the artist’s fluency with the gallery system, while maintaining visual cues from urban environments. The bold contour lines, the stencil-like application, and the saturated palette are grounded in graffiti’s graphic sensibility. Each print is hand-pulled, which introduces a subtle variation and authenticity to every edition. This craftsmanship affirms that even though the imagery is rooted in mass-produced iconography, the execution is deeply intentional and personal. Emotional Simplicity and Symbolism in Contemporary Urban Art Pure Evil’s Marilyn Pure Joy Yellow connects to a broader contemporary conversation about the emotional undercurrents of iconography in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The emotional core is heightened by its formal restraint—limited colors, bold geometry, and the solitary symbolic gesture of the tear. In an era saturated with digital images, this piece slows the viewer down. It invites reflection on why we idolize and what we ignore. Through this piece, Pure Evil extends a conversation about fame, fragility, and the psychological fallout that so often accompanies cultural elevation. As both an homage and a critique, the work serves as a compelling example of how street culture can infiltrate and elevate high art discourse without abandoning its rebellious roots.

Pure Evil Marilyn Pure Joy Aqua Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil
Marilyn Pure Joy Aqua 3 Color Silkscreen Print by Pure Evil Hand-Pulled on Deckled 300gsm Somerset Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of TBD Artwork Size 16x20 Silkscreen Print of Hollywood Actress, Marilyn Monroe Stylized in Aqua Blue. Marilyn Pure Joy Aqua by Pure Evil as Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Marilyn Pure Joy Aqua is a 2025 limited edition silkscreen print created by the British street pop art and graffiti artwork figure Pure Evil, whose real name is Charles Uzzell-Edwards. This piece is rendered in a vivid aqua blue palette using three silkscreen layers and hand-pulled on 300gsm Somerset fine art paper with deckled edges. Measuring 16 x 20 inches, the print is part of a series featuring iconic Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe. The artwork’s bold use of flat color, high contrast, and Pure Evil’s signature tear motif reflects a deliberate synthesis of celebrity iconography with themes of loss and emotional weight. The tear streak, thick and black, drops from one of Monroe’s eyes and drips downward, bisecting the otherwise glamorous portrait. This tear motif, consistent across much of the artist’s portrait series, plays a crucial role in transforming popular imagery into emotionally charged commentary. The Cultural Significance of Marilyn Monroe Reimagined This piece anchors Marilyn Monroe not as a static figure of 1950s beauty but as a perpetually relevant cultural symbol. In Pure Evil’s reinterpretation, Monroe becomes a vessel for reflection on fame’s isolating and often devastating effects. Her image, one of the most recognizable in modern history, is stripped of its cinematic polish and reframed within a graffiti-informed aesthetic. The use of aqua blue softens the portrait but simultaneously creates an eerie vibrancy. The image no longer belongs solely to nostalgic Hollywood; it now inhabits the visual landscape of protest art, paste-ups, and gallery walls rooted in contemporary street culture. This transformation is central to how Monroe’s legacy continues to be shaped by new generations of visual artists. The Mechanics of Street Pop Aesthetics Street pop art and graffiti artwork thrive on remixing public iconography. By using silkscreen methods traditionally associated with fine art while keeping visual language rooted in urban subversion, Pure Evil blurs the boundaries between commercial symbolism and raw expression. The choice of Somerset paper, known for its premium archival quality, speaks to the artist’s dual engagement with both fine art collectors and anti-establishment sentiment. The flat fields of aqua blue give a sense of uniformity, but the hand-pulled nature ensures that each print carries unique qualities. This intersection of process and message allows the viewer to engage with the familiar image of Monroe in a deeper, more personal way. Pure Evil’s Emotional Language Through Color and Form In Marilyn Pure Joy Aqua, emotion is conveyed through contrast and subtraction. The simplicity of color selection—a stark blue and white backdrop, with shadows articulated in rich blacks—focuses attention on the emotional gravity of the piece. The tear that falls from Monroe’s eye acts not as an embellishment but as a core component of the narrative. It suggests unresolved sorrow, the exploitation of beauty, and the fading line between admiration and objectification. Through this silkscreen edition, Pure Evil uses Monroe’s face as both icon and canvas, achieving a work that is both reflective and provocative. The piece stands as a testament to the continuing dialogue between pop culture and street expression, and how graffiti-rooted techniques can recast even the most familiar subjects into powerful vehicles of introspection.
