I'm Sick Of That Fake Thug Dead Prez Silkscreen Print by Mark Drew Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Artwork Size 17x11 Silkscreen Print of Lucy van Pelt & Pig Pen Thinking "I'm Sick Of That Fake Thug RNB Rap Scenario" Mark Drew's Street Pop Commentary through Peanuts and Dead Prez Mark Drew’s 2019 silkscreen print titled I'm Sick Of That Fake Thug serves as a sharp and insightful fusion of music culture and nostalgic cartoon imagery. Known for his signature remixing of Peanuts characters with classic hip-hop lyrics, Drew pulls from the revolutionary voice of Dead Prez to create a vivid commentary on authenticity and street culture within the music industry. This hand-pulled silkscreen edition, limited to 200 signed and numbered pieces, measures 17 by 11 inches and utilizes bold visual contrast to reinforce its message. The print features Lucy van Pelt and Pig Pen in a stark black outline against a warm yellow-and-white backdrop, where Drew captures a moment of critique from Dead Prez's lyricism, visually anchoring it within the innocence of Schulz’s comic strip. Stylistic Juxtaposition and Cultural Subversion The work thrives on juxtaposition. The childlike familiarity of Peanuts is set against one of the most politically charged and socially aware hip-hop acts of the 2000s. Pig Pen, known for his disheveled appearance, is placed as the unexpected mouthpiece of frustration with inauthentic portrayals in the RNB and rap industry. This contradiction enhances the viewer’s engagement, forcing a reconsideration of cultural consumption. Drew’s consistent technique of overlaying vintage cartoon simplicity with potent hip-hop text transforms his prints into vehicles of cultural dialogue. This particular work uses its clean, silkscreened forms and expressive typography to deliver a punch of truth masked in humor and nostalgia. Process and Limited Format in Street Pop Art Executed as a traditional hand-pulled silkscreen print, Drew’s method aligns with the tactile history of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Each copy in this edition of 200 reflects the artist’s direct involvement and commitment to authenticity—ironically reinforcing the very critique embedded in the print’s message. The controlled color palette of black, yellow, and white gives the piece a visual rhythm that supports its lyrical source material while maintaining accessibility through recognizable characters. Drew’s prints are not mass-reproduced digital pieces but collectible fine art that maintains the rebellious soul of graffiti. Mark Drew’s Ongoing Hip-Hop Narrative Based in Tokyo, Mark Drew continues to elevate conversations around hip-hop, nostalgia, and cultural commentary through his street pop art works. His recontextualization of familiar American pop icons with global hip-hop culture continues to resonate across generations. By pairing Dead Prez’s critique with characters like Lucy and Pig Pen, Drew not only pays homage to lyricism and activism but also highlights how visual art can amplify the emotional and social truths found in music. Each print in this series carries not just artistic value, but a reflection of the ongoing dialogue between art, resistance, and authenticity.

Stormtrooper Messiah Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Ron English- POPaganda. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print in Colors on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 17x22 The "Stormtrooper Messiah" is a limited edition work of art by the critically acclaimed artist Ron English- POPaganda, known for his provocative blend of street art and pop culture iconography. This particular piece is one of a series of 100 archival pigment prints, each signed and numbered to assure its collectability and authenticity. The artwork measures 17x22 inches and is rendered on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, a choice that denotes high quality and ensures the longevity and vibrancy of the colors used in the print. This piece by English is a powerful commentary on the intersections of ideology, iconography, and the indoctrination mechanisms within our society. It reimagines a standard stormtrooper - a symbol of the faceless enforcer from the "Star Wars" franchise - in the garb of a religious icon, precisely resembling the Messiah. This fusion of imagery from distant corners of culture spotlights the often unexamined devotion we have to certain facets of pop culture, paralleling religious fervor. English’s choice of a stormtrooper, an emblem of collective identity and unyielding authority, enveloped in the trappings of a spiritual figure, questions the role of such figures and the institutions behind them in shaping beliefs and behaviors. The artist employs luminous and contrasting colors to breathe a sense of reverence into the figure, an approach that reflects the aura often associated with religious artworks. The flowing robes in vivid hues give the subject a sense of motion and ethereal presence, intensifying the impact of the visual juxtaposition. The "Stormtrooper Messiah" is more than a piece of fine art; it's a visual discourse that challenges the viewers to reflect on the narratives and symbols that influence their understanding of power, culture, and spirituality. Ron English- POPaganda, through his distinctive merger of street art's grit and pop art's fascination with the mainstream, has created an arresting image that continues to spark conversations in the art community and beyond.

Delorean Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Print on Photo Rag Bright White Paper by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Kilian Eng (DW Design). 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Print on paper (Photo Rag Bright White 310 gsm) 17 H x 24 W inch. Swedish artist Kilian Eng (DW Design) has a unique style and visual language that is sometimes described as retro-futuristic. Eng illustrates and animates images and art prints that feel dreamlike and evoke curiosity, like this Delorean image, obviously inspired by the Back to the Future movies. "I’m very interested in creating environments in my work. I’m fascinated by architecture - ancient, futuristic, fantastic - so I often incorporate buildings or structures. The characters that inhabit the pictures are dropped in these unexpected surroundings." -Kilian Eng Revving Through Time: Kilian Eng's Retro-Futuristic Delorean In the dynamic world of pop culture art, few images are as evocative of the spirit of adventure and the aesthetics of retro-futurism as the Delorean car. The iconic vehicle, etched into the collective memory of the 80s and beyond, finds new life in the work of Swedish artist Kilian Eng. Known professionally as DW Design, Eng's limited edition Giclee print on Photo Rag Bright White Paper breathes a unique blend of nostalgia and futuristic fantasy into the subject. Kilian Eng, born in Sweden, stands out for his distinctive style that combines elements of street pop art and graffiti artwork, though his work leans more towards illustration with a heavy influence from the fantastical and science fiction elements. His Delorean artwork, a signed and numbered limited edition print from 2013, exemplifies this style perfectly. Measuring 17 by 24 inches and printed on Photo Rag Bright White 310 gsm paper, the piece showcases Eng's commitment to quality and his passion for creating immersive environments within his works. Dreamlike Visions: The Architecture of Time in Eng's Work Eng has a well-documented fascination with architecture, which serves as the structural backbone for many of his pieces. His Delorean art print is no exception. The vehicle is set against a dreamlike backdrop that merges ancient and futuristic sensibilities, a hallmark of Eng's work. This setting is not just a passive background; it's an integral part of the narrative that Eng crafts through his art. The Delorean, synonymous with time travel in the 'Back to the Future' franchise, is depicted amidst a landscape that feels both familiar and otherworldly, embodying the convergence of past, present, and future. The artist's inclination to place characters — or in this case, iconic cars — within unexpected surroundings aligns with the ethos of graffiti artwork, where the surprise element and the boldness of the presentation are key. In Eng's Delorean print, the car takes center stage, its familiar form a stark contrast to the alien landscape, which could be a scene straight out of a distant planet or parallel universe. Eng's Visual Language: A Portal to Retro-Futuristic Exploration Kilian Eng's artistic language speaks of curiosity and exploration, two themes deeply embedded in the concept of the Delorean. The car, a symbol of technological innovation and the wild possibilities of time travel, is a fitting subject for Eng's exploration of space and environment. The choice of the Delorean, particularly within the context of a limited edition print, also speaks to the artist's understanding of pop culture's ephemeral yet impactful nature. The print itself, with its meticulous attention to detail and color, mirrors the quality one would expect from a graffiti artwork masterpiece. While Eng's work is not painted on a wall or a train car, it carries the same spirit of street pop art — it's accessible, it's for the people, and it carries a message. The message here is one of wonder, the same kind of wonder that street art aims to evoke in passersby. Kilian Eng's Delorean is not just a print; it's a window into the kind of retro-futuristic world that only exists in the collective dreams of those who grew up with the 'Back to the Future' movies as a touchstone. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of the Delorean as an icon, not just of a movie franchise, but of an era where cars were more than just vehicles — they were the keys to adventure, the vessels for voyages of the imagination. Eng's print captures this spirit in a way that both honors and transcends the original inspiration, making it a significant piece in the realm of street pop art and graffiti artwork.
