  • Mr Dob A Art Toy Sculpture by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Takashi Murakami TM/KK Mr Dob A Art Toy Sculpture by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Mr Dob A Limited Edition Vinyl Art Sculpture Collectible Artwork by Japanese Pop Culture Artist Takashi Murakami TM/KK x BAIT. 2017 Limited Edition of 400 Complexcon x BAITx Takashi Murakami 10 3/5 × 13 2/5 × 10 1/5 in New in Box.  Mr. Dob A Vinyl Sculpture by Takashi Murakami: Maximalist Expression in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Mr. Dob A is a 2017 limited edition vinyl art sculpture created by Takashi Murakami in collaboration with BAIT and released during ComplexCon. This collectible, limited to 400 pieces, measures approximately 10.6 x 13.4 x 10.2 inches and comes in its original box featuring custom illustrated artwork by Murakami. The sculpture captures the artist’s recurring character Mr. Dob, rendered in high-gloss vinyl with overwhelming detail, pattern, and color. With wild tentacles, spinning eyes, jagged rainbow teeth, and hypnotic surface design, Mr. Dob A functions as a physical embodiment of Murakami’s Superflat aesthetic and his exploration of modern pop culture excess. It represents a key convergence of Japanese fine art, consumer spectacle, and the bold visual energy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Design, Symbolism, and Sculptural Technique This sculpture of Mr. Dob A is both fantastical and threatening. The figure’s gaping mouth is a cavernous rainbow vortex surrounded by colorful triangular teeth, while octopus-like limbs coil outward, each covered in eye motifs and concentric patterns. With swirled ears and bulging eyeballs, the character plays between kawaii and kaiju, innocence and menace. The gloss finish reflects Murakami’s obsession with polished perfection, a nod to toy manufacturing and the clean surface of anime production. Every curve is intentional, exaggerated, and infused with chaos. The precision of the vinyl cast and paintwork transforms the piece into more than just a toy—it is a surreal object of fine art, produced with the exactness of a designer good but pulsing with visual anarchy. Mr. Dob is not simply a mascot but an ever-evolving figure that symbolizes the collision of mass media, mythology, and personal madness. Takashi Murakami’s Cultural Role and Street-Level Influence Takashi Murakami, born in Japan in 1962, is internationally recognized for his ability to unify high art and commercial culture into a single visual framework. His signature concept of Superflat compresses traditional Japanese painting with post-war consumerism, anime, and otaku culture. Mr. Dob is one of Murakami’s earliest and most significant characters—serving as both alter ego and critique of cultural saturation. The Mr. Dob A edition reflects Murakami’s connection to contemporary art fairs and urban collectibility, debuting at ComplexCon, a marketplace driven by fashion, art, and hype culture. In the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Murakami’s work exists as a portal where tradition and disruption coexist, and where figures like Mr. Dob become both symbols and products of global visual identity. Limited Vinyl Edition as a Fine Art Collectible Object Each Mr. Dob A sculpture is housed in a custom display box that mirrors the character’s expression, rendered in bold vector style across every surface. The packaging and figure are inseparable in narrative—they work as one collectible unit. As a limited edition of 400, the work occupies a rarefied position between commercial object and cultural artifact. Unlike mass-produced vinyl figures, this release is anchored in Murakami’s conceptual art lineage and collectible strategy. Its presence in galleries, private collections, and museums places it in direct dialogue with the broader conversation around the function of toys in fine art. Within the expanding world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Mr. Dob A stands as a hybrid sculpture—unapologetically loud, self-referential, and reflective of a global audience hungry for art that merges spectacle, subversion, and surface.

  • El Pulpo Silkscreen Print by DKNG

    DKNG El Pulpo Silkscreen Print by DKNG

    El Pulpo Limited Edition 1-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by DKNG Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 'El Pulpo' (the octopus), based on a recent poster we created for Slightly Stoopid & Atmosphere's performance at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Inspired by San Diego surf culture and Dia De Los Muertos imagery, we decided on an ornate octopus and surfboard as fitting iconography for the show as well as a nice tribute to our hometown. This print is a bit of a departure for us as it’s just a one-color print, but what makes it a bit more unique is the gold leaf stock on which it’s printed. Check out a few close-up photos below of the shimmering print as well as the process video we created for the gig poster.

  • Mr Dob B Art Toy Sculpture by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Takashi Murakami TM/KK Mr Dob B Art Toy Sculpture by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Mr Dob B Limited Edition Vinyl Art Sculpture Collectible Artwork by Japanese Pop Culture Artist Takashi Murakami TM/KK x BAIT. 2017 Limited Edition of 800 Complexcon x BAITx Takashi Murakami 9x12x8 Perfect Like New Displayed With Box. Mr. Dob B Vinyl Sculpture by Takashi Murakami: Multicolor Chaos in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Mr. Dob B is a 2017 limited edition vinyl art sculpture by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, created in collaboration with BAIT and released during ComplexCon in a run of 800 pieces. Measuring approximately 9x12x8 inches, the piece features Murakami’s signature character Mr. Dob, a hybrid creation that combines mouse-like ears with a psychedelic, manic expression and vibrant color scheme. Presented in a sculptural format with a fully illustrated collector’s box, the figure exemplifies Murakami’s ability to translate two-dimensional visual chaos into tactile three-dimensional form. The piece embodies a convergence of Japanese superflat aesthetics, otaku subculture, and fine art sculpture, aligning closely with the language and impact of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Design, Dimension, and Character Evolution Mr. Dob B is one of the most striking physical manifestations of Murakami’s universe, with the figure’s open jaw revealing an internal vortex of teeth, tongues, rainbows, and spikes. The swirling eyes, exaggerated facial features, and tentacle-like limbs transform the figure into an optical spectacle that defies traditional character design. Built in high-gloss vinyl with a candy-like finish, the sculpture holds presence and reflects light like a futuristic idol. Murakami’s layering of pop references, Japanese animation cues, and commercial color schemes results in a form that feels both celebratory and confrontational. This version of Mr. Dob functions as a physical distillation of the visual overload often seen in Murakami’s paintings and murals. It is a figure both familiar and terrifying, comical and aggressive, simultaneously referencing kawaii culture and subverting it. Takashi Murakami’s Influence on Pop-Driven Collectible Sculpture Takashi Murakami, born in Japan in 1962, is widely recognized as a central figure in contemporary pop-infused fine art. His work blurs distinctions between high culture and consumerism, integrating anime, fashion, and graffiti into museum-level exhibitions and commercial collaborations. Mr. Dob, introduced in the mid-1990s, has become one of Murakami’s most recognizable motifs—part mascot, part avatar, part marketing critique. In the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Murakami’s vinyl sculptures function as icons of consumer subversion. They are designed to be collected, displayed, and celebrated, yet they contain within them the coded languages of branding, art history, and digital culture. With the release of Mr. Dob B at ComplexCon—a marketplace event known for its intersection of streetwear, art, and hype—Murakami further positioned the sculpture as an emblem of culture remix and high-art accessibility. Limited Edition Vinyl as a Pop-Cultural Time Capsule The 2017 Mr. Dob B edition is packaged in a large format, fully printed box that mirrors the chaotic aesthetic of the figure inside. Each sculpture is factory-finished to perfection, with clean paint applications and balanced form, echoing the commercial polish of designer toy culture. Yet unlike mass-market collectibles, this figure is part of a limited edition, marking its exclusivity and artistic integrity. Murakami’s presence at ComplexCon signaled a shift—where fine art not only entered the hype arena but became central to it. In Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this edition stands as a time capsule of visual culture—playful, precise, and entirely aware of its impact. Mr. Dob B is not merely a sculpture but a statement about saturation, spectacle, and the evolving definition of art in a media-drenched world.

He wanted to introduce me to the guys and help push getting me to release a print. Because things were hectic before leaving I wasn’t able to get anything together. By the time I got to Chicago I still didn’t have anything. Rime, Mason and I had been through a few cities by then and were pretty tired. The night before our stop in Chicago we were in Nebraska. Nebraska was fucking nasty as all hell. It is where we hit a patch of black ice and did 4 huge 360 spins down the highway with semi trucks barreling down the highway behind us. All I could get out of my mouth was “Put it in the ditch man”! That became the quote for the rest of the trip." - Persue

    Label 907 Vol III Sunset Silkscreen Print by UFO907 Hand-Pulled on 140lbs. Pure White French Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 18x24 5-color Split Fountain Screen Print Silkscreen Print Label 907 Vol III Sunset Silkscreen Print by UFO907 The Label 907 Vol III Sunset Silkscreen Print by UFO907 captures the energy and playful rebellion that has made this underground graffiti artist a cult figure within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2019 as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 50 pieces, this 18 x 24 inch artwork is a five-color split fountain screenprint, hand-pulled on 140lbs pure white French art paper. The piece reflects the raw yet whimsical spirit of UFO907's iconic characters—particularly the wide-eyed alien cephalopod with spray can in hand, painted over a United States Postal Service priority mail sticker backdrop. This visual pun on identity and tagging is not only humorous, but deeply rooted in graffiti’s long tradition of postal label bombing. Cosmic Characters with a Street-Level Voice In Label 907 Vol III Sunset, UFO907 presents one of his signature tentacled figures dressed in a hoodie and New York Yankees cap, holding a classic spray paint can mid-action. The oversized eyes and rounded limbs give the creature an innocent appearance, yet its posture and the act of painting imply intent and defiance. The gradient background shifts through sunset hues—pinks, oranges, and yellows—achieved through a skillful split fountain technique that mirrors the spray effect of actual aerosol art. Combined with bold black linework and fluorescent green detail spray, this print vibrates with both nostalgia and new energy. It’s a direct translation of wall-to-paper graffiti, preserving the movement’s spirit through print media. Graffiti’s Material Language and Collector Appeal The use of USPS Priority Mail labels as visual anchors is no coincidence. Graffiti artists have long used these free labels as mini canvases to bomb mailboxes, poles, and phone booths. UFO907’s decision to formalize that in a silkscreen edition connects the underground past to a collector-friendly present without losing authenticity. His character’s expression and stance add a layer of narrative—combining street mischief with pop sensibility. The silkscreen medium reinforces its value in the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork world where texture, print layers, and production technique become integral to the message. Being signed and numbered by the artist makes each copy not only a print but a certified moment in his evolving catalog. UFO907’s Role in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Known for his elusive presence and interstellar characters, UFO907 has remained a staple of unsanctioned art in New York City and beyond. His work often blends innocence with resistance, showing characters that feel pulled from a cartoon dimension but acting with real-world urgency. Unlike artists who transition entirely into fine art spaces, UFO907 maintains his connection to walls, freight trains, and found surfaces—yet prints like Label 907 Vol III Sunset offer a portal for collectors to experience his world without compromising its edge. Each detail in this piece—from the alien figure to the branded spray can—points to a love for graffiti’s absurdity, danger, and color-soaked spontaneity. It’s not just a print, but a celebration of UFO907’s persistent vision and his place in the ever-evolving language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

  • ComplexCon x Dobtopus Skateboard Deck Set by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    Takashi Murakami TM/KK ComplexCon x Dobtopus Skateboard Deck Set by Takashi Murakami TM/KK

    ComplexCon x Dobtopus Octopus Deck Set Fine Art Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Transfer on Natural Skateboard Deck by Street Artwork Graffiti Artist Takashi Murakami TM/KK. 2017 Set of 3. Released at ComplexCon in 2017, the Takashi Murakami Octopus Skate Deck Set features Murakami's well-known Octopus motif in a 3-deck set, which forms one cohesive image when displayed side by side. This deck set was released on November 4th, 2017. ComplexCon x Dobtopus Octopus Deck Set by Takashi Murakami: Character Power in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The ComplexCon x Dobtopus Octopus Deck Set by Takashi Murakami is a fine art limited edition release created in collaboration with ComplexCon in 2017. This set of three 8 x 31 inch natural wood skateboard decks features a single archival pigment print that spans across all three panels to create one unified composition. Released on November 4, 2017, the deck set captures Murakami’s colorful and character-driven visual language in a format that connects the worlds of commercial art, collectible design, and subversive culture. With bold colors, sharp linework, and surreal detailing, the Dobtopus motif illustrates Murakami’s ability to merge mythology, manga, and merchandise into a cohesive statement within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. This piece features a fragmentary and playful depiction of Murakami’s octopus variation of Mr. Dob, a recurring mascot-like character in his work. The octopus form adds a layer of whimsy and monstrous appeal, with swirling eyes, jagged teeth, and tentacles rendered in soft gradients and saturated linework. Circular motifs and exaggerated facial expressions are scattered across the image, contributing to the disorienting, multi-eyed aesthetic that is signature to Murakami’s practice. Each deck panel becomes a slice of chaos and delight, emphasizing the creature’s multiple personalities and uncontainable energy. The natural wood background allows the hyper-color design to float atop the surface, creating a unique tension between material tradition and visual excess. ComplexCon as a Platform for Art, Culture, and Urban Identity Released during ComplexCon, an annual cultural event that unites fashion, music, art, and design, this deck set exemplifies Murakami’s role as a conduit between fine art and popular street movements. Rather than isolating his work within the confines of the gallery, Murakami expands its presence through accessible formats and cross-industry collaborations. At ComplexCon, where hype culture and contemporary art collide, this deck served as a statement piece—grounded in the tradition of limited-edition streetwear drops but elevated by the conceptual depth and visual heritage of the artist. By producing this work as a triptych on skate decks, Murakami ensures that it functions both as wall art and cultural object. Skate decks remain a revered medium in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork due to their duality: utilitarian tools reimagined as art surfaces. Here, they become the perfect canvas for Murakami’s explosive visual grammar, further cementing the decks' place in the aesthetic lexicon of modern counterculture. Character Culture and Emotional Spectacle in Murakami’s Visual Language Murakami’s use of the Dobtopus character speaks to his obsession with emotional exaggeration, facial mutation, and hybrid identities. The octopus-like figure, rendered with concentric eyes and wide, almost mechanical grins, disrupts traditional character expectations. It functions not just as a mascot but as a reflection of media saturation, information overload, and the fluidity of identity. By spreading the design across three decks, Murakami plays with fragmentation and unity—the viewer must step back to comprehend the full image, echoing how contemporary society often experiences clarity only through collective focus. These attributes are central to the sensibility of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The visual overload, aggressive whimsy, and layered messaging parallel the techniques of urban artists who plaster cityscapes with characters and tags designed to provoke and remain. Murakami’s work, although more polished and refined, maintains that urgency and bite. His characters, especially Dob, have become contemporary totems—both playful and unsettling, cute and chaotic. Murakami’s Global Impact and Skate Art as Cultural Archive Takashi Murakami, born in Japan in 1962, continues to shape the international landscape of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork by leveraging both traditional artistry and mass production. The ComplexCon x Dobtopus Octopus Deck Set is a crystallization of his career-long commitment to visual storytelling that operates on multiple levels. It is a collector’s piece, a pop spectacle, and a philosophical mirror all at once. With its 2017 release, it has become part of a larger archive of objects that document how artists challenge and transform the meaning of materials, characters, and cultural value. This deck set does not merely display an image—it encapsulates Murakami’s fusion of animation, anxiety, and spirituality into a surface that was once meant for rebellion and sport. The Dobtopus swims through flames of attention and noise, reasserting the power of the image in motionless form. Murakami reminds viewers that even the most commercial objects can become sacred, saturated with color, humor, and a carefully calculated chaos that never stops watching.

Octopus & Squid

The Influence of Marine Life in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork

The vibrant and mysterious allure of marine creatures, specifically the octopus and squid, has found its way into Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork, inspiring artists to capture their fluid forms and symbolic meanings. These cephalopods have been rendered in many styles, from hyper-realistic to the abstract, often used to convey messages about adaptability, intelligence, and the enigma of the underwater world. Their presence in urban art reflects a contrast between the natural and the artificial, an intersection where art meets marine biology. Artists have been drawn to the octopus and squid because they embody characteristics that resonate with the core of street art: flexibility, camouflage, and inherent complexity. With its eight sinuous tentacles, the octopus provides a rich visual vocabulary for artists to explore movement and form. These creatures can serve as metaphors for the interconnectedness of community or the reach of societal influence, their arms stretching across walls and buildings as if to mirror the sprawling nature of urban environments. Squids, with their streamlined bodies and dynamic propulsion, can be depicted as bursts of energy on static walls, their elongated forms often trailing vibrant colors that simulate their swift movement through the ocean depths. The imagery of both squids and octopuses in street art can also be seen as a nod to the adaptability required for survival in the depths of the sea and the ever-changing urban jungle. This duality makes them compelling subjects for street artists who often have to work quickly, adapt to various surfaces, and sometimes, like these creatures, blend into the background to avoid detection.

Artistic Representations of Cephalopods in Modern Urban Landscapes

The depiction of octopuses and squids in street art goes beyond mere representation; it is a form of artistic exploration of texture, form, and color, where the wall becomes a canvas for underwater scenes that can be both whimsical and thought-provoking. The fluidity of these animals is translated into sprawling murals that take on a life of their own, with tentacles often weaving through urban elements, symbolically connecting the wildness of the sea with the structured chaos of city life. These cephalopods are also symbolic in the Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork sphere for their ability to change color and shape, making them a perfect parallel for the transformative power of art in public spaces. Their likeness can be used to discuss themes of environmental concern, a reminder of the ocean's mysteries, and the fragility of its inhabitants amidst human expansion. Artists might employ these creatures to criticize pollution or raise awareness about marine ecosystems' beauty and diversity, encouraging preservation and respect for the natural world. The octopus and squid have thus become icons within the street art community, their forms offering endless inspiration for artists and viewers alike. They are painted, stenciled, and sprayed onto surfaces worldwide, becoming part of the urban tapestry and inviting passersby to ponder the connection between the concrete cityscape and the fluid, organic forms of these deep-sea beings. These artworks serve as a visual reminder of our planet's diverse and interconnected nature, bridging the gap between the terrestrial and the aquatic.

Iconography and Symbolism of Cephalopods in Street Art

In street and graffiti art, the iconography of the octopus and squid often carries deeper meanings. These creatures can be seen as symbols of complexity and mystery, embodying the multifaceted nature of urban life. The octopus, with its many arms and high intelligence, is sometimes used to represent the various forces at work in society, from political power to cultural influence. Similarly, the squid's ink—a natural defense mechanism—can be a metaphor for the power of expression and the artist's ability to leave a mark on the world. Moreover, these marine animals can represent the concept of resilience and resourcefulness, essential in both the marine environment and the urban street art scene. These creatures' adaptability and ability to survive in the deep and often hostile ocean echo the street artists' need to be resourceful and resilient in the face of urban challenges. The enduring appeal of octopuses and squids in Street Pop Art and graffiti Artwork also lies in their historical and mythological significance. From ancient sea monsters to modern symbols of versatility, these creatures carry stories and legends that add layers of meaning to their artistic representations. As such, they provide a rich source of inspiration for street artists who seek to infuse their work with depth and narrative, crafting pieces that are visually arresting and steeped in symbolism and cultural resonance.
