Hand-pulled gold and black screen print. printed on 290gsm Coventry Rag paper with deckled edges. Each print is signed and numbered. Limited edition of 125 The visuality of Cleon Peterson's work is based on a variety of influences, from ancient Greek pottery to comics, resulting in monochromacy and strong color symbolism. In more detail, the figures exist on multiple straight lines, something that, subsequently, creates the illusion that the artwork is divided in levels. The perspective and the impression of depth do moderately exist in the art of Peterson and, just like in Greek vases, the background space is usually left empty or slightly embellished.

Red Carpet Imperial Original Oil Painting by Dred66- Tyree Davis of a Kind of Artwork on Foam Core Mounted to Acrylic Sheet From Street Art Pop Artist. 2001 Signed Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Size 32x12 Depicting 2 People Sharing a Meal at a Table with Wine Over a Massive Red Carpet. Tagged, Signed, Dated, and titled on the Back. Imperial / Red Carpet / Dred66 / March 2001 Essence of "Red Carpet Imperial" by Tyree Davis "Red Carpet Imperial" stands as a remarkable testament to the artistic prowess of Tyree Davis, known in the street pop art and graffiti artwork community as Dred66. This original oil painting, a one-of-a-kind artwork on foam core mounted to an acrylic sheet, exemplifies the fusion of street art aesthetics with the traditional oil painting medium. Created in 2001, this signed acrylic painting stretches across a sizeable 32x12 canvas, depicting a scene that is both intimate and grandiose — two people sharing a meal at a table with a wine bottle over a massive red carpet. Davis's "Red Carpet Imperial" encapsulates the ethos of street pop art by bringing the personal into the public sphere. The subjects of the painting — two individuals engaged in the simple act of sharing a meal — are universal in their relatability. Yet, they are set against a backdrop that speaks to grandeur and excess. This contrast sketched out in the earthy yet bold tones of the oil paints, evokes a narrative that is both a celebration and a critique of cultural and social dynamics. It's a snapshot of life that is as much about the environment as it is about the individuals within it. Signature Style of Dred66 and Artistic Influence Tyree Davis's signature style is evident in how "Red Carpet Imperial" harmonizes street art's raw energy with a gallery piece's sophistication. The painting carries the hallmarks of graffiti in its background — tagged, signed, and dated by the artist, which is a nod to the graffiti tradition of artists marking their territory and claiming space. This element of the artwork connects the practice of street art with the established conventions of fine art, creating a dialogue between two worlds often seen as disparate. The tactile quality of the foam core gives the painting a three-dimensional feel. At the same time, the mounting on an acrylic sheet provides a modern twist, suggesting the protective glazing found in street art installations. These material choices by Davis reflect a thoughtful consideration of medium and message, ensuring that "Red Carpet Imperial" resonates with the authenticity of street art even as it occupies a different physical and conceptual space. In "Red Carpet Imperial," Davis offers a cultural commentary that is as relevant today as it was at the beginning of the millennium. The work's title, 'Imperial,' hints at a critique of societal structures and the seduction of luxury, a theme deep in street pop art's veins. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the disparities and contradictions that pervade modern life by placing an everyday scene in a context that implies wealth and luxury. Moreover, the painting's year of creation, 2001, situates it at a time when street art began gaining widespread recognition as a legitimate art form. Tyree Davis contributed to this burgeoning recognition through his work, bridging the gap between the street and the gallery and challenging preconceived notions about the value and place of graffiti and street pop art in the art historical canon. Legacy and Continuing Influence Tyree Davis's "Red Carpet Imperial" legacy continues influencing the street art community and the broader art world. It stands as a powerful example of how the aesthetics and themes of street pop art can be translated into different mediums and settings, maintaining their impact and resonance. Davis's work invites ongoing discourse about the intersections between art, culture, and society through its bold visual language and underlying social commentary. This conversation is as vital now as it was two decades ago. "Red Carpet Imperial" is more than just a painting; it is a piece of social fabric, a historical document, and a beacon of street pop art's enduring power to communicate, challenge, and captivate. Tyree Davis, as Dred66, has crafted an artwork that is both a reflection and a critique of the world it inhabits, securing his place in the annals of street pop art history.

Walking Tall Original Acrylic Spray Paint Marker Painting by BLADE- Steven Ogburn One of a Kind Artwork on MTA NYC Subway Map by Street Art Pop Artist. 2011 Signed Acrylic, Spray Paint & Paint Marker Painting Original Artwork Size 32x23 on Reclaimed NYC Transit Subway Map. Walking Tall on the Tracks of History Created in 2011 by New York graffiti legend BLADE, born Steven Ogburn, Walking Tall is a standout one-of-a-kind painting that encapsulates the grit and pride of subway graffiti culture. Executed on a reclaimed MTA NYC Subway Map, this 32 by 23 inch mixed media piece is a raw fusion of acrylic, spray paint, and paint marker that brings to life the aesthetics of the early 1970s graffiti boom while echoing the artist’s unmistakable handstyle. It is both a throwback to BLADE's reign over the NYC subway system and a reflection of his continued presence as a living force in the evolution of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The use of an actual subway map as a canvas is symbolic and literal—a surface that once served as his open-air gallery is transformed into collectible fine art. Subway Trains Reimagined on Paper BLADE’s Walking Tall centers on a stylized train car with an abstract letter fill, where traditional graffiti writing techniques meet geometric expression and iconography. The upper portion of the map features the minimal render of a silver subway car, as if peeking above a black cloud—a direct nod to the iconic whole-car takeovers of the past. The bottom third explodes with stylized green and yellow letters on a textured spray-painted background, complete with stars, lines, and symbols that have become identifiers of BLADE’s visual language. Each panel section bursts with controlled chaos, symbolizing both the movement of trains and the relentless momentum of the graffiti movement itself. This format reinforces the context in which the artist made his name—among the motion, dirt, and noise of a working urban infrastructure. The Personal Markings of a King Walking Tall is more than a graffiti piece—it is a statement of longevity and authorship. Above the stylized train, BLADE tags himself and his original crew, The Crazy 5, anchoring this work in the foundational lore of New York graffiti history. The inclusion of his classic elements such as arrows, shapes, and three-dimensional tricks is not just decorative but deeply personal. These components serve as narrative cues to an era when tagging trains was as much a cultural revolution as it was an artistic one. BLADE’s decision to layer his work atop an official MTA map adds yet another level of engagement—fusing outlaw history with institutional cartography. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork with Institutional Impact As with much of BLADE’s gallery work, Walking Tall maintains the ethos of the street while recontextualizing graffiti into the domain of contemporary fine art. The result is a hybrid visual experience: high art with a raw edge, refined technique with street spontaneity. This piece belongs to a broader trajectory in which subway-born artists have made the leap from anonymous fame to documented, signed, and archived works. It reflects a career rooted in authentic urban storytelling, now preserved in permanent collections and museums around the world. Walking Tall is not nostalgia—it is survival, expression, and style, captured on a map that once guided the very trains he transformed into rolling canvases.

$500 Dollar Bill- Green Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Oil Paint HPM Silkscreen Print on Canvas by Steve Kaufman SAK Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 1995 Signed Custom Framed Front of the United States $500 dollar bill money from 1934 featuring US President William McKinley. $500 Dollar Bill Green Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Oil Paint HPM Silkscreen Print on Canvas by Steve Kaufman The $500 dollar bill Green Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Oil Paint HPM Silkscreen Print on Canvas is a striking piece of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork by Steve Kaufman, a legendary modern pop artist. The artwork is a signed and custom-framed rendition of the front of the United States $500 bill from 1934, featuring President William McKinley. This piece, created in 1995, stands as a powerful example of Kaufman’s signature approach to transforming historical and cultural symbols into vibrant modern masterpieces. Steve Kaufman and His Impact on Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Steve Alan Kaufman, born in 1960 in the United States, was a student and assistant to Andy Warhol before developing his own unique artistic voice. He expanded on Warhol’s pop art techniques by incorporating hand embellishments, graffiti elements, and unconventional color schemes, making his works one-of-a-kind collectibles. Kaufman’s contributions to Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork involved a deep engagement with American cultural imagery, including currency, historical figures, and iconic consumer symbols. His work frequently explored themes of capitalism, nostalgia, and the power of recognizable images to evoke emotion and commentary. This $500 dollar bill print is an excellent representation of Kaufman’s ability to fuse financial iconography with street art aesthetics. Through the use of hand-applied oil paint embellishments and silkscreen techniques, the piece achieves a tactile richness that contrasts with the traditional design of American currency. By reimagining the bill in bold colors, Kaufman breathes new life into an object typically associated with economic power and exclusivity. Symbolism of the $500 Bill in Pop Art and Street Graffiti Culture The $500 bill, particularly the 1934 series featuring President William McKinley, is a rare and discontinued form of U.S. currency. While once in circulation, these high-denomination bills were removed from general use and now exist mainly as collectors’ items. In the context of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, the depiction of large-denomination currency serves as a commentary on wealth, value, and the transient nature of money. Kaufman’s reinterpretation of the bill in vivid green and yellow hues transforms it from a monetary instrument into a striking visual statement. The contrast between the structured, official design of the original banknote and the expressive, graffiti-inspired application of color creates an engaging tension. This reimagining forces the viewer to reconsider the meaning of money beyond its traditional role in transactions, turning it into an artistic expression of power, history, and cultural significance. Kaufman’s use of layering, texture, and freehand detailing adds an urban, almost rebellious energy to the piece, making it stand out in any collection of modern pop art. Legacy of Kaufman’s $500 Dollar Bill Artwork Steve Kaufman’s limited edition $500 dollar bill Green HPM silkscreen print exemplifies his approach to combining financial symbolism with artistic innovation. The custom-framed piece is more than a decorative statement; it encapsulates the essence of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork by challenging traditional notions of wealth and status. The bold color palette, hand-embellished details, and large-scale reinterpretation of a historical banknote ensure that this piece remains both visually captivating and intellectually thought-provoking. Through works like this, Kaufman cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in modern pop art, influencing artists who continue to blend fine art techniques with urban street culture. His reinterpretation of the $500 bill serves as a lasting testament to his ability to elevate ordinary objects into extraordinary pieces of art that capture the energy and complexity of contemporary society.
