    Tracie Ching Bigger on the Inside Dr Who Silkscreen Print by Tracie Ching

    Bigger on the Inside Dr Who Silkscreen Print by Tracie Ching Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 40 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Doctor Who Tardis Police Box Spaceship. From 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who Show. Bigger on the Inside Doctor Who Silkscreen Print by Tracie Ching The Bigger on the Inside Doctor Who silkscreen print by Tracie Ching is a stunning tribute to the 50th anniversary of one of the most beloved science fiction series of all time. This limited edition hand-pulled screenprint, created in 2013, captures the essence of the Doctor’s iconic time-traveling spaceship, the TARDIS, in a striking, layered composition. Signed and numbered on the back, with only 40 pieces in existence, this artwork blends the aesthetics of street pop art & graffiti artwork with a futuristic, almost hypnotic approach. The silkscreen technique used in its production gives it a rich texture and depth, making it a visually dynamic piece that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. The Visual Concept and Design of the Print Tracie Ching’s interpretation of the TARDIS plays with the idea of movement and time distortion, two core elements of the Doctor Who universe. The print features multiple overlapping images of the blue police box, creating a cascading effect that suggests the ship is phasing between dimensions. The sharp geometric edges and high-contrast lighting add to the sense of kinetic energy, making the artwork feel alive. The deep blue tones, combined with a carefully executed halftone shading technique, give the piece a sense of atmospheric depth that resonates with the mystery and excitement of time travel. Typography plays a significant role in the composition, with the words Doctor Who presented in a clean, futuristic style. The incorporation of the show’s logo and the phrase The Fiftieth Anniversary at the bottom of the print reinforces the celebratory nature of the piece. The minimalistic yet bold approach allows the TARDIS to remain the focal point while still acknowledging the historic milestone of the series. This balance between graphic design and artistic craftsmanship makes the print stand out as both a collectible and a striking work of contemporary street pop art & graffiti artwork. The TARDIS as an Icon in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The TARDIS has long been a subject of fascination in street pop art & graffiti artwork, representing adventure, escape, and the limitless possibilities of time and space. Street artists have often depicted it in murals, stencils, and wheatpaste posters, placing it in unexpected urban settings to create the illusion of it materializing in the real world. The police box design itself is an iconic image, instantly recognizable even to those unfamiliar with Doctor Who, making it a powerful visual symbol in public art. Ching’s rendition of the TARDIS takes this concept further by exploring its metaphysical properties. By illustrating the police box as if it is shifting between different moments in time, the print mirrors the way graffiti and street art function—temporary, ever-changing, and existing in multiple states of being. The overlapping layers of the TARDIS in the print reflect the way street art often builds upon itself, with artists adding new tags, designs, and textures to existing works, creating an evolving canvas of visual storytelling. This parallel between time travel and the fluid nature of street pop art & graffiti artwork reinforces the TARDIS as more than just a sci-fi artifact but as a symbol of artistic reinvention. The Significance of the Limited Edition Screenprint As part of a hand-pulled silkscreen print edition, Bigger on the Inside carries a unique craftsmanship that digital reproductions cannot replicate. The layering of ink, the texture of fine art paper, and the precision of the printing process all contribute to its distinctiveness. With only 40 pieces available, the artwork is an exclusive collector’s item that merges the fandom of Doctor Who with the aesthetics of street pop art & graffiti artwork. The limited edition nature of the print increases its desirability, ensuring that each piece holds value both as a cultural artifact and as a work of fine art. Tracie Ching’s ability to merge pop culture with intricate, modern design techniques makes this silkscreen print a standout piece in the world of contemporary urban art. Her vision of the TARDIS encapsulates the excitement and wonder of Doctor Who while pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling. Through its dynamic composition, rich textures, and conceptual depth, this artwork serves as a testament to the power of combining science fiction mythology with the expressive, ever-evolving world of street pop art & graffiti artwork.

This piece showcases a meticulous hand-pulled screen print on fine art paper, demonstrating Fairey's commitment to craft and detail. Artist Proofs, often abbreviated as AP, are unique versions of limited edition prints used primarily for the artist's collection or close associates. This silkscreen print is embossed with the coveted AP mark, signifying its rarity and distinction from the general run. Deeply embedded within this artwork is Fairey's emblematic Obey Giant Star, a symbol that traces back to his earliest days in the art scene. The emblem, inspired by the visage of Andre the Giant, has, over time, become a potent image in contemporary art. Set against the backdrop of a wreath-like badge, this motif gains prominence. The art is interspersed with other powerful symbols - the commanding word "Obey" and the omnipresent dollar sign. These elements together provide commentary on societal obedience, consumer culture, and the intersections of power, propaganda, and capital. Fairey's works often delve into these thematic explorations, prompting viewers to engage with their surroundings critically. Celebrated globally, Shepard Fairey's prints, minimal editions like "Supply and Demand Red AP," continue to captivate audiences.

  • Duality Dana Scully X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef

    Jeremy VanCleef Duality Dana Scully X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef

    Duality Dana Scully X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Dana Scully X FIles. Duality Dana Scully X-Files Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Duality Dana Scully is a limited edition silkscreen print created by Jeremy VanCleef in 2013, presenting a visually striking interpretation of the iconic character from The X-Files. This hand-pulled screenprint, sized at 18x24 inches, is part of a signed and numbered edition of only 25, making it a rare and sought-after piece. The artwork captures the essence of Dana Scully through a minimalist yet haunting composition, incorporating fragmented portraiture, high-contrast halftone textures, and bold typography. The use of a red and black palette intensifies the psychological depth of the piece, aligning with the visual aesthetics commonly found in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Concept and Visual Symbolism Duality Dana Scully explores the tension between logic and belief, a core theme in The X-Files. Her face is partially removed, leaving an open void that suggests the struggle between science and the unknown. The stark white cutout interrupts her form, reinforcing the duality between skepticism and faith that defines her character. Her hollowed-out eyes, a recurring motif in VanCleef’s work, add an eerie, almost supernatural quality, mirroring the unsettling mysteries she investigates. The background features distressed textures and muted grain, reminiscent of aged documents and conspiracy files, further reinforcing the secretive undertones of the composition. Text elements such as Logic, Reason, and Skeptic punctuate the artwork, emphasizing the defining attributes of her character. The inclusion of a small, floating cross necklace subtly acknowledges her spiritual dilemma, adding an additional layer of complexity to the piece. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Jeremy VanCleef employs techniques rooted in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, incorporating stencil-like portraiture, distressed typography, and layered textures that evoke urban wheatpaste posters. The rough, unpolished aesthetic, combined with sharp-edged design elements, mimics the feel of underground zine culture and guerrilla street art. The limited color scheme of deep reds and monochrome tones creates a high-impact visual statement, much like the bold graphics found in stencil graffiti. The interplay between printmaking traditions and digital deconstruction gives the artwork a sense of immediacy and rawness, qualities often seen in modern street murals. VanCleef’s ability to distort familiar imagery while maintaining strong cultural references aligns with the core principles of urban artistic expression, where themes of rebellion, questioning authority, and challenging perception play a central role. Collectibility and Cultural Impact As a signed and numbered edition of 25, Duality Dana Scully holds significant value within the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The scarcity of this print makes it highly desirable among collectors, especially those who appreciate the intersection of science fiction and contemporary urban aesthetics. The X-Files remains a cultural touchstone, and this artwork encapsulates the enduring mystery and intellectual depth of the series. Jeremy VanCleef’s reinterpretation of Dana Scully transforms her from a television character into an abstract symbol of truth-seeking and existential inquiry. His handcrafted silkscreen process ensures that each print maintains a unique, tactile quality, reinforcing the authenticity and artistic integrity of the work. The continued relevance of conspiracy theories, government secrecy, and scientific skepticism makes this piece a powerful visual representation of the ongoing dialogue between fact and belief, securing its place as a defining example of pop culture-inspired street art.

  • Duality Fox Mulder X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef

    Jeremy VanCleef Duality Fox Mulder X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef

    Duality Fox Mulder X FIles Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Fox Mulder X FIles. Duality Fox Mulder X-Files Silkscreen Print by Jeremy VanCleef Duality Fox Mulder is a limited edition silkscreen print created by Jeremy VanCleef in 2013, featuring a haunting interpretation of the iconic character from The X-Files. This hand-pulled screenprint, measuring 18x24 inches, was produced in a signed and numbered edition of only 25, making it a rare and highly collectible piece. The artwork captures the psychological complexity of Fox Mulder, using a bold, minimalist composition combined with high-contrast halftone textures and neon green accents. The print reflects VanCleef’s signature fusion of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where pop culture subjects are reimagined through an urban, contemporary lens. Concept and Visual Symbolism The composition of Duality Fox Mulder plays with the themes of truth, paranoia, and perception, central to The X-Files narrative. Mulder’s portrait is partially fragmented, with sections of his face missing, replaced by stark, negative space. This deconstruction reinforces the character’s struggle between belief and skepticism, reality and illusion. The hollowed-out eyes add a ghostly effect, suggesting his relentless search for answers has made him both enlightened and consumed by obsession. The surrounding typography includes phrases like Trust No One and The Truth Is Out There, iconic to the series, enhancing the sense of mystery and intrigue. The grainy, distressed background texture mimics photocopied conspiracy files, further reinforcing the idea of secrecy and government cover-ups. The limited color palette, dominated by green and black, directly references the eerie glow often associated with extraterrestrial themes in science fiction, making the print feel both vintage and futuristic. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence Jeremy VanCleef’s work often draws from the aesthetics of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, and this print is no exception. The use of halftone printing techniques, stencil-inspired portraiture, and distressed text elements are reminiscent of the wheatpaste posters seen in urban environments. The neon green accents give the piece a cyberpunk, underground zine quality, reinforcing the DIY ethos of street art culture. The layering of text and imagery, as well as the calculated use of negative space, allows for an interplay between structured design and raw, unfiltered expression. This technique mirrors how graffiti artists use walls as their canvas, layering different visual elements to create an evolving narrative. The deliberate imperfections in the ink application further connect the piece to the handcrafted, analog processes that define the screenprinting movement within street art. Collectibility and Cultural Impact With only 25 prints in existence, Duality Fox Mulder stands as an exclusive collectible within the world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Jeremy VanCleef’s ability to reinterpret pop culture figures through a subversive, street-inspired approach makes this print highly sought after by collectors of both contemporary printmaking and science fiction memorabilia. The X-Files continues to be a cultural touchstone, with themes of government secrecy, alien life, and truth-seeking remaining relevant in modern discourse. This print captures that ongoing relevance, using street art techniques to elevate Mulder’s character into an iconic visual statement. The meticulous craftsmanship of the hand-pulled silkscreen process ensures that each print retains a unique quality, reinforcing its place as a significant piece in the fusion of urban art and cult television mythology.

    Roger Gastman Anti-Graffiti Propaganda Case Study No.1 Archival Print by Roger Gastman

    Anti-Graffiti Propaganda Case Study No.1 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Roger Gastman Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "This piece continues within the Tools of Criminal Mischief series of spray paint cans and markers prints that I've been doing with 1xRun. I have a large collection of anti-graffiti paraphernalia: pamphlets, signs, pins, tee shirts, etc. This image was revisited and fine-tuned in 2013 but it's taken years and years of collecting and digging along with close friends sending me stuff. I am always on the hunt for more. A few years ago, Caleb Neelon and I wrote a book for Harper Collins, "The History of American Graffiti" and the endsheet patterns for that book were a collage of the items on this print. Whenever I give someone the book or they see it somewhere, they love the end sheet patterns and want to know more about it and how I got all of the items. I decided to open the files back up and add some color and re-envision the design to create a collage of the anti-graffiti propaganda. " - Roger Gastman

    Eyes On The King Verdict 4-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Fine Speckletone Art Paper by Shepard Fairey x Ted Soqui Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed by Shepard Fairey & Ted Soqui, Numbered 18x24 inches. Screenprint on thick cream Speckletone paper. Numbered edition of 600. "I based this “Eyes on the King Verdict” print on photos taken by Ted Soqui during the LA riots of spring 1992. Ted has a long history of photographing activists and protests, which began after the “not guilty” verdicts on April 29, 1992, for the four officers who severely beat Rodney King. I especially love the central pic of a young woman protester in a Malcolm X hat contemplating the scene. I think it is important to consider the symbolic weight of the Rodney King verdict and the emotional impact on communities of color seeking justice and accountability. At the time, 30 years ago, I remember feeling enraged that such a blatant act of police brutality was going unpunished when it was captured on video. It is heartbreaking how frequently similar acts of violence and abuse of power by law enforcement have gone unpunished, even when caught on camera. I don’t ever condone violence or looting, but I understand why LA erupted in riots and protests after the King verdict. When people feel that the American system has failed them repeatedly, things can reach a boiling point. The urge to protest injustice and the right to do so are legitimate, even if looting is not legitimate. The LA riots were a tragic mixture. However, beware of those who try to conflate protest with “criminal agitation” or “inciting a riot.” When the system fails the people, it is nothing short of patriotic for the people to protest for a solution. Ted Soqui and I both signed the “Eyes on the King Verdict” print.” – Shepard

    Justin Van Genderen Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen

    Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 18x24 Location, Location, Location Series Silkscreen Print Cop Shooting at Lake Fargo North Dakota  Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen is a 2013 hand-pulled screenprint that transforms a stark, frozen landscape into a haunting piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 18x24 inches and part of a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, this artwork captures the isolation, tension, and stark beauty associated with the setting of Fargo. The minimalist composition and restrained color palette bring an atmospheric quality to the piece, making it an instant conversation starter while maintaining the aesthetic precision that defines Van Genderen’s work. A Study in Minimalism and Suspense This screenprint is a striking example of how minimalism can create an emotionally charged visual experience. The vast negative space dominates the upper portion of the composition, reinforcing the feeling of emptiness and desolation. In the lower portion, a small figure stands on the shoreline of a frozen lake, arm extended, firing a gun into the distance. The muted grays and whites of the landscape contrast with the icy blue of the water, while subtle texturing gives the piece a weathered, cinematic feel. The scene immediately evokes the quiet tension and understated menace associated with the region, particularly through its connection to the film and television series Fargo. While not explicitly referencing the storyline, the artwork plays on the themes of violence, isolation, and the stark beauty of the Midwest. The placement of the lone figure and the vast, empty space surrounding him create an immediate sense of narrative, leaving the viewer to interpret what has happened or what may come next. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Elements Justin Van Genderen’s approach to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork relies on a fusion of clean, modernist design and raw urban texture. The halftone shading in the trees and distant hills gives the piece a printed, almost grainy quality, reminiscent of vintage posters or old newspaper photographs. This technique aligns with the visual language of screenprinting, a medium frequently used in street art to produce bold, high-contrast imagery that retains a handmade quality. The piece embraces a restrained, muted color scheme, allowing the stark white background to act as both a visual element and an emotional tool. The faded edges and distressed textures create a sense of imperfection, reinforcing the idea that this is a world shaped by rough environments and human intervention. The red typography in the bottom corner is an intentional choice, subtly injecting a sense of urgency or danger into an otherwise cold and distant landscape. The Power of Narrative in Urban-Inspired Art Fargo North Dakota Silkscreen Print by Justin Van Genderen exemplifies how Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork can go beyond aesthetics to create compelling visual narratives. The stark contrast between man and nature, action and stillness, makes the piece feel cinematic, as if it captures a single frame from a larger story. This kind of storytelling through composition and simplicity is a key characteristic of contemporary urban art, where symbols, figures, and spaces are used to evoke deep emotional responses. As a limited-edition silkscreen print, this piece holds significance for collectors who appreciate the intersection of film-inspired artwork and the raw, stripped-down energy of street culture. Whether displayed in a private collection or as part of an urban-themed gallery, this print stands as a testament to how minimalism, negative space, and subtle visual cues can create something both visually arresting and emotionally evocative. Fargo, as a place and a cultural reference, continues to hold a unique place in artistic interpretation, and this piece captures its essence with an unforgettable, striking simplicity.

Police & Cops Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Authority in Art: Police Depictions in Street Pop Art and Graffiti

The imagery of police and law enforcement has been a significant and provocative subject within street pop art and graffiti. Artists often utilize the symbol of the police officer to discuss power structures, critique social issues, and express a range of emotions from respect to resistance within their work.

Authority Figures in Urban Art Narratives

In the narrative of urban art, the figure of the police officer often appears as a symbol of authority. Their depiction can vary greatly among artists and artworks. For some, police are portrayed as guardians, contributing to the safety and order of city life. For others, they become representations of state power and are depicted in ways that critique their role in societal control and surveillance.

Cultural Commentary Through Police Imagery

Street pop art and graffiti have long been mediums for cultural commentary, and the depiction of police within these forms is particularly charged. In this context, police can be portrayed heroically, satirically, or even villainously, depending on the artist’s message. The representation of police in urban art often reflects current events and societal tensions, making it a form of real-time historical documentation.

Graffiti and Street Art as Dialogue with Law Enforcement

The act of creating graffiti itself can be a point of contention with law enforcement, as it often falls in legal gray areas. This relationship adds a layer of complexity to the depiction of police in street pop art, where the very act of painting can be seen as an act of defiance against the authority that police represent. In many cases, artists use their work to engage in a visual dialogue about the role of policing, creating pieces that respond to the community's perceptions and interactions with law enforcement.

Pop Art's Influence on Police Portrayals

Pop art's influence extends into the portrayal of police, often using bold colors and recognizable iconography to draw attention to their presence within society. The use of pop art aesthetics can serve to amplify the impact of the artwork’s message, whether it is a critique or an endorsement of police and their role.

Police in Street Art: A Reflective Mirror

Street art often serves as a reflective mirror of society, and depictions of police within this art form can reveal much about a community's relationship with law enforcement. These artworks can evoke conversations, challenge perceptions, and sometimes even offer a space for healing and understanding between the public and police. In the evolving canvas of the urban landscape, depictions of police in street pop art and graffiti are a testament to the nuanced and sometimes contentious relationship between authority and expression. As street artists continue to engage with this theme, the portrayal of police in their work remains a powerful commentary on community, power, and the role of art in society.
