Luke and Slick: From Assistant to Collaborator in 2024
Beginning in 2018, Luke began working alongside OG Slick on mural projects defined by bold, graphic, large-format imagery. While Luke’s personal art practice leaned more toward realism and reference-based rendering, he enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to contribute to Slick’s stylized compositions. Over the next several years, the duo collaborated on installations across various cities, developing a working relationship built on mutual respect and shared creative ambition. By early 2024, that trust had evolved into a deeper artistic partnership. Slick, recognizing Luke’s growth and commitment, offered him a chance to move from supporting role to full creative contributor. That invitation manifested through a reimagining of Slick’s 2016 piece Hand to Hand, which was itself an homage to M.C. Escher’s iconic 1948 work Drawing Hands. The concept featured two hands illustrating each other—an image that speaks to co-creation and mirrored skill. Slick saw an opportunity to revisit the piece in a way that would highlight both his and Luke’s strengths: the fusion of clean, stylized design with highly detailed, realistic technique. The result would be a dual-authored work, merging two distinct visual languages into a single composition. The updated version of Hand to Hand would serve not only as a tribute to artistic legacy but also as a statement of evolution—where an assistant becomes a collaborator, and where two styles meet at the point of mutual respect and creative dialogue.
Slick Hand Luke T30 by OG Slick x Luke: Dual Technique in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Slick Hand Luke T30 is a 2025 hand-embellished giclee print collaboratively created by OG Slick and Luke. Released as a signed and numbered edition of only 25 pieces, each print is produced on 310gsm deckled fine art paper and hand-enhanced with custom embellishments, including paint splatters, spray marks, and gesture-based accents. With dimensions of 30x30 inches, every work in this series stands alone as a unique expression of dual artistic vision, executed in high-resolution giclee with added layers of spontaneous texture and color. Each print is hand signed by both artists and varies in detail, making every collector's piece an individual translation of their combined styles. As a product of two distinctly different approaches—OG Slick’s bold, graphic cartoon language and Luke’s refined photorealistic rendering—this edition solidifies itself as a landmark collaboration in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
Visual Dialogue Between Illustration and Realism
The centerpiece of Slick Hand Luke T30 is a concept that pays tribute to M.C. Escher’s 1948 work Drawing Hands, reinterpreted through the lens of modern graffiti culture and fine art printing. One hand is a gloved cartoon figure wielding a paint marker, rendered in OG Slick’s unmistakable style, dripping ink and filled with animated life. The other is a hyper-realistic human hand, meticulously painted to evoke photographic precision, holding its own identical marker. Together, the hands are locked in a recursive creative loop—each drawing the other into existence. This dual execution speaks to collaboration, respect, and transformation, as two artists with opposing aesthetics engage in a visual conversation. The design is clean, minimal in composition, and powerful in symbolism. Against a white crinkled paper background, the contrast between ink, texture, and light brings an added layer of dimensionality.
OG Slick and Luke: Collaboration as Evolution
OG Slick, a graffiti legend with decades of influence rooted in West Coast street culture, is known for fusing cartoon references with biting cultural critique. Luke, an emerging fine artist and muralist, brings photorealistic mastery and a studied approach to form. Since assisting OG Slick on large-scale murals beginning in 2018, Luke has evolved from apprentice to full collaborator. Slick Hand Luke T30 marks their first true co-signed edition, reflecting a relationship built on shared trust, aesthetic contrast, and mutual inspiration. Their partnership is not simply visual; it is philosophical, embodying the fusion of disciplines and the dissolving of traditional boundaries between graphic art and realism in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.
HPM Print as Living Collaboration
Each piece in the Slick Hand Luke T30 edition is hand-embellished with varying applications of spray, drips, splashes, and painterly overlays, making no two alike. Some prints are energized with pink or magenta flourishes, others lean into subtler monochrome variations, reflecting the tension and harmony between the two contributors. The deckled edges enhance the print’s presence as a fine art object while keeping the rebellious soul of graffiti intact. As with all HPM editions by OG Slick, the uniqueness of each work underscores the value of unpredictability and raw intervention. In the scope of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this collaboration stands as a statement of growth, respect, and creative duality—where the animated and the anatomical co-create, and where concept becomes practice through the hands of two artists drawing each other into being.
