    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.

    Lauren YS Mobius Teal PP Silkscreen Print by Lauren YS

    Mobius Teal PP Printer Proof Silkscreen Print by Lauren YS Hand-Pulled 3-Color Screen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Artwork & Graffiti. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & PP Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 18x14 The Artistic Vision of Lauren YS in 'Mobius Teal PP' Lauren YS's 'Mobius Teal PP' emerges as a striking example of contemporary pop street artwork, blending the fluidity of graffiti with the meticulous process of silkscreen printing. This Printer's Proof (PP), hand-pulled and marked by the artist in 2019, embodies a limited edition three-color screen print on 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper. 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. Lauren YS's contributions to the field reflect a contemporary evolution of street pop art, where traditional graffiti merges with avant-garde aesthetics to form new artistic expressions. As an artist, Lauren YS stands at the forefront of this evolution, pushing the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti into new territories. 'Mobius Teal PP,' with its intricate design and profound symbolism, is a beacon of the limitless potential within these art forms. It is a celebration of the medium's ability to decorate urban landscapes and convey complex, introspective narratives through the interplay of ink and imagination.

    Lauren YS Mobius White PP Silkscreen Print by Lauren YS

    Mobius White PP Printer Proof Silkscreen Print by Lauren YS Hand-Pulled 3-Color Screen Print on 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Artwork & Graffiti. PP Printers Proof 2019 Signed & PP Marked Limited Edition Run Artwork Size 18x14 Lauren YS and the 'Mobius White PP' Silkscreen Print The 'Mobius White PP' is a striking silkscreen print by the artist Lauren YS, part of a limited edition series that showcases a blend of pop art vibrancy and the edgy undercurrents of street art and graffiti. This hand-pulled 4-color screen print on 290gsm Coventry Rag fine art paper, released as a Printer's Proof (PP) in 2019, vividly represents the artist's unique style. Signed and marked PP, the artwork measures 18x14 inches and features an intricate depiction of interlocking octopuses, a motif often explored by Lauren YS in their work. Visual Complexity and Symbolism Lauren YS, also known as Squid.licker, is recognized for their bold, intricate designs and a penchant for surreal, dream-like subject matter that defies traditional narrative. 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.

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.
