Railroad Spike Track Teeth Blue Object Art by RD-357 Real Deal Original Tag Designer Collectible Pop Artist Artwork. 2021 Original Spray Paint RD Tag on Reclaimed Metal Railroad Spike Art Object Size 6x1 Artwork. Railroad Spike Track Teeth Blue by RD-357 – Original Object Art in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Railroad Spike Track Teeth Blue is a 2021 original artwork by RD-357, also known as Real Deal, a graffiti artist and designer known for integrating traditional tagging culture with found-object experimentation. This unique piece features RD’s iconic handstyle tag executed in bright blue spray paint across the surface of a reclaimed railroad spike, measuring 6 x 1 inches. A powerful collision of industrial form and street symbolism, the object retains the weight and texture of its original function while transforming into a three-dimensional graffiti artifact. The signature arrow, a common motif in graffiti letterforms, extends from the letter D, pointing forward with intentional motion—signaling movement, defiance, and direction. As a tagged artifact, this spike not only references the rail systems central to graffiti’s early distribution but becomes a piece of urban archaeology infused with authorship and attitude. Tag Culture and Object as Canvas In graffiti, the tag is the most distilled form of artistic identity. It is name, logo, and signal. RD-357’s application of his tag on a metal spike recontextualizes this signature within the aesthetics of artifact and utility. By placing a clean, fluid handstyle on a corroded and heavy object, the artist plays with contrasts—impermanence marked on permanence, fluid gesture on solid form, gesture on function. The use of blue against the spike’s blackened surface brings a vibrancy and clarity that stands out even on this miniature scale. It becomes a physical message, less about the space it occupies and more about what it carries—a name rooted in street history etched onto a tool once used to anchor systems of transit and division. The object is no longer a spike; it is a signed sculpture, a mobile tag, a symbol of permanence in a culture built on motion. Railroads, Movement, and the Foundation of Style Railroads are more than infrastructure in the graffiti narrative—they are symbols of distribution, escape, and style travel. Writers from the 1970s forward used trains to extend the visibility of their names across boroughs and regions. RD-357 honors that history not with a painting of a train, but with the spike that once fastened steel to wood, that once anchored a system which graffiti artists hijacked to spread messages. This spike is a poetic repurposing. It holds the weight of transit and turns it into voice. It turns the ghost of industrial decay into the object of modern subcultural celebration. The use of an authentic railroad component makes this piece not just art, but a relic transformed—a utilitarian object made iconic by graffiti’s mark of authorship. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork as Object-Based Language Railroad Spike Track Teeth Blue is a rare example of graffiti object art where the artist refuses to be confined to wall, canvas, or digital format. RD-357 embraces the object as both message and material, infusing his tag with dimension, tactility, and context. This approach bridges graffiti’s traditional emphasis on repetition and surface with the collectible logic of pop and conceptual art. It is a handstyle made sculptural, an industrial artifact made personal, and a name that resists being forgotten. In Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, such pieces remind us that graffiti lives not only on surfaces we walk past, but also in the objects we carry, the materials we recover, and the symbols we choose to elevate. This work is not merely seen—it is held, it is felt, it is signed in steel.

Railroad Spike Track Teeth Black Object Art by RD-357 Real Deal Original Tag Designer Collectible Pop Artist Artwork. 2021 Original Spray Paint RD Tag on Reclaimed Metal Railroad Spike Art Object Size 6x1 Artwork. Railroad Spike Track Teeth Black by RD-357 – Reclaimed Object in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Railroad Spike Track Teeth Black is a 2021 original artwork by RD-357, also known as Real Deal, a graffiti artist whose work explores the intersection of street authenticity and industrial minimalism. This piece features a reclaimed metal railroad spike measuring 6 x 1 inches, transformed through the addition of RD’s distinct black tag. Executed in spray and marker, the tag cuts across the rusted shaft in a tight, angular form, accented by an arrow pushing forward. This object functions as both a sculptural work and a symbolic message, channeling graffiti’s mobile essence into a handheld relic. The spike—once a mechanical element of motion—becomes the vessel for name-based authorship, connecting the physical infrastructure of rail transit with graffiti’s legacy of distribution, presence, and personal signature. Tag as Sculpture and Object as Surface RD-357’s choice of object echoes graffiti’s foundational principle of using what is available to communicate identity and energy. Unlike traditional street surfaces like walls or doors, this object carries its own embedded story before it is ever painted—steel forged for permanence, wear from transit and time, dents from labor. The tag laid upon it becomes a layer of personality over raw material, marking the spike as no longer industrial but autobiographical. The black line curves through the space with purpose and direction, controlled yet expressive. The arrow flaring from the D propels the tag with motion, continuing graffiti’s tradition of symbolizing flow, travel, and attack. The artist’s use of black ink on a distressed, brown-and-steel base emphasizes legibility and intent, evoking early handstyle culture in its most stripped-down form. Graffiti Culture, Movement, and Found Object Authenticity Railroads have always played a central role in graffiti’s evolution—not only as literal canvases for mobile expression, but as metaphors for movement, rebellion, and connectivity. By placing his tag on a spike rather than a train, RD-357 draws attention to the mechanisms behind motion. This object represents the understructure of transit—what holds tracks together, what enables trains to move, and by extension, what allowed graffiti to gain visibility across cities and boroughs. The object becomes a fragment of cultural infrastructure, repurposed through the graffiti writer’s hand into an artifact of identity. It is as much about claiming authorship as it is about preserving the overlooked materials that define how cities are built and traversed. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in Micro Form In the context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Railroad Spike Track Teeth Black is a testament to how graffiti can inhabit small-scale objects without losing impact. This piece condenses the energy of a full burner into a six-inch form. It distills namewriting into something tactile and permanent, a tool transformed into a sculpture. As a collectible artifact, it speaks to both the material history of the city and the personal history of the artist. The spike becomes a bridge—between labor and expression, between transportation and authorship, between anonymity and signature. It is graffiti boiled down to one tag, one object, and one gesture—yet it contains the weight of movement, story, and presence.

Block Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers Original Epoxy Sculpture Artwork by graffiti street artist modern pop artist Devin James. 2021 Signed COA Lego Sculpture Artwork Size 6x11 Block Boys with Red Flower in Teal Blue, Original Blok Boy Lego Man. The Aesthetic Fusion in Blok Boy Devin James, a renowned figure in the world of street pop art and graffiti artwork, presents a striking addition to the art scene with "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers," an original epoxy sculpture artwork that resonates deeply with the playful yet reflective essence of modern pop art. This piece, signed and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, stands out with its bold dimensions of 6x11 inches. The "Blok Boy" Lego Man sculpture encapsulates the whimsical nature of childhood toys while embedding the sophisticated depth of contemporary art. Crafted in 2021, this sculpture artfully merges the iconic simplicity of the Lego form with the complexity of human nature, signifying a juxtaposition that street pop art so often seeks to explore. The teal blue hue of the piece is not merely a choice of color but a narrative vehicle, conveying a sense of tranquility and depth akin to the ocean. Within this serene expanse, bursts of red—manifested as flowers—introduce a dynamic element of contrast, symbolizing passion, vibrancy, and life. Incorporating these red flowers disrupts the monochrome and injects a layer of emotional intensity into the sculpture, echoing the human experiences of conflict, beauty, and growth. The choice of epoxy as the medium for "Boys- Blok Boy" is deliberate, allowing for a luminous finish that gives the artwork an almost lifelike presence. The clarity of the material captures and plays with light, giving the sculpture an ever-changing appearance that depends on its environmental context. In this way, the artwork reflects street pop art's dynamic and evolving nature, which is inherently responsive to its surroundings. Symbolism in Street Pop Art The "Blok Boy" serves as a canvas upon which Devin James has masterfully illustrated themes of nostalgia and modernity. The Lego figure, a staple in the pantheon of childhood playthings, is repurposed here as an emblem of innocence and creativity. Yet, the transformation of this toy into a piece of high art indicates a loss of innocence and a bridge to the complexities of adulthood. This is the essence of street pop art—taking the familiar and everyday objects and elevating them to express deeper societal narratives. The interplay of the teal blue with the red flowers within "Blok Boy" also speaks to the graffiti artwork tradition of using vibrant visuals to make bold statements. Graffiti artists have long used the urban landscape as their canvas, often employing stark color contrasts to highlight their messages. Devin James brings this principle into the three-dimensional realm, using color to draw the viewer into a dialogue with the piece. Reflection of the Artist in the Artwork Beyond the aesthetic and symbolic qualities of the sculpture, "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers" is also a reflection of Devin James himself. Known for his distinctive style that marries street art with a polished modern pop art aesthetic, James creates works that are both accessible and profound. His signature lies in his ability to imbue his pieces with layers of meaning, often prompting the viewer to reflect on the intersection of youth and the adult world, playfulness and seriousness, simplicity, and complexity. In this sculpture, James' own experiences and perspectives are distilled into the form of the "Blok Boy." The artwork becomes a conversation piece, prompting discussions about the role of art in public spaces, the commodification of childhood memories, and the potential of street art to infiltrate and enhance the world of fine art. James continues to challenge and redefine the boundaries of street pop art and graffiti artwork through this piece. "Boys- Blok Boy- Teal Blue Red Flowers" is a testament to the evolving narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through his skillful manipulation of form, color, and medium, Devin James presents a sculpture that is both a playful nod to childhood and a profound commentary on the human condition. The artwork is a vibrant fusion of toy and totem, a physical manifestation of the ethos of street pop art—rooted in the urban yet reaching towards the universal.
