Put It In The Ditch, Brah! Limited Edition 8-Color Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on 140lb Fine Art Paper by Persue Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 85 Artwork Size 16x20 "Before we left California for the East Coast Rime told me to put some ideas together for our stop in Detroit and at the 1xRun headquarters. 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

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.

Signed and denoting its unique status in the edition run, the artwork's dimensions of 18x14 inches frame a visual narrative that is both surreal and expressive. Symbolism in 'Mobius Teal PP' The 'Mobius Teal PP' print by Lauren YS is a testament to their fascination with the surreal and the marine, featuring a vivid portrayal of octopuses in an infinite loop. The title, 'Mobius,' refers to the Möbius strip, a surface with only one side and one boundary component, symbolizing infinity, continuity, and the cyclic nature of the universe. This concept is elegantly captured through the interweaving tentacles of the octopuses, which are depicted in a state of perpetual motion against the contrasting teal background. The choice of color in 'Mobius Teal PP' is not merely aesthetic but intentional, with the teal acting as a backdrop that conjures the depths of the ocean—a realm full of mystery and often associated with the unconscious mind. The juxtaposition of the pink and black inks adds a dynamic vibrancy to the print, emphasizing the fluidity and grace of the cephalopods, creatures known for their intelligence and adaptability. Lauren YS's Technique and Medium Lauren YS employs the silkscreen printing technique with finesse, a method traditionally linked with the pop art movement and the grassroots dissemination of street art. Each layer of color in the 'Mobius Teal PP' is meticulously applied, showcasing the artist's hands-on approach and commitment to precision. Coventry Rag paper, a medium known for its quality and durability, ensures that each print remains a lasting artifact of the artist's vision, retaining the vibrancy of the inks over time. The significance of a Printer's Proof in the art world cannot be understated. PPs are typically reserved for the artist's personal use or archival purposes and are often considered more valuable due to their rarity and direct involvement in their production. The PP mark on 'Mobius Teal PP' indicates its status as part of a select group of prints that precede the official limited edition run, sought after by collectors for their proximity to the artist's original intent. Impact and Legacy in Street Pop Art The 'Mobius Teal PP' holds a place of importance in the oeuvre of Lauren YS and within the broader context of street pop art. The artist's work blurs the boundaries between the subversive energy of street art and the calculated precision of fine art printing, creating pieces that resonate with a broad audience.

The 'Mobius White PP' is no exception, presenting the viewer with a mesmerizing tableau of cephalopods entangled in an infinite loop. The use of the Mobius strip, a one-sided nonorientable surface, adds a layer of complexity, suggesting infinity, continuity, and the cyclical nature of existence. The choice of octopuses as the focal point is rich with symbolism. These creatures are often associated with mystery and flexibility, characteristics that resonate with street pop art's fluid and dynamic nature. Incorporating vibrant pink and blue hues against the stark white paper creates a visual pop, emphasizing the fluidity and movement within the static image. Artistic Process and Technique Lauren YS's approach to this print, utilizing the screen printing technique, indicates a hands-on process that is both artisanal and precise. The screen printing technique, particularly revered in street and pop art for its ability to produce vivid, textured layers of color, lends this work a tactile quality that belies its two-dimensional medium. Each color in the 'Mobius White PP' is applied one at a time, requiring exact alignment to achieve the final image's detail and depth. The choice of Coventry Rag paper underscores the artist's commitment to quality and longevity. This particular type of paper is favored by fine artists for its durability and ability to hold color without degradation, making it an ideal choice for a print intended to stand the test of time. Lauren YS's Place in Contemporary Art In the contemporary art scene, Lauren YS has carved out a space that transcends easy categorization, melding influences from comic books, muralism, and traditional Japanese and Chinese aesthetics. The 'Mobius White PP' exemplifies their ability to navigate and merge these diverse visual languages into a cohesive whole that speaks to a global audience. As a limited edition Printer's Proof, 'Mobius White PP' holds a special place in Lauren YS's works collection. The printers typically retain printer's Proofs as a reference and are often seen as a more intimate version of a print edition, carrying the marks of the printing process itself. The PP designation on this print signifies its status not only as part of a limited run but also as a piece that bears the direct touch of the artist. In the broader context of street pop and graffiti artwork, 'Mobius White PP' is a testament to the genre's evolving nature. Lauren YS's work continues to push the boundaries of how street art is perceived and experienced in public spaces and the collectors market. This print, with its interplay of street art sensibilities and fine art execution, captures the essence of this dynamic and continues to inspire dialogue within the art community.
