The collection comprises 6x6 inch prints, each a testament to Budich's commitment to his craft and the Star Wars narrative. Surprise Boxes: The Thrill of the Unknown At the heart of the Mind Tricks Series 2 collection lies the blind box concept — a phenomenon that has permeated the world of street pop art. Collectors are presented with a sealed custom envelope reminiscent of the mystery and allure of street art found in unexpected places. Inside, four randomly inserted silkscreen prints await, each potentially being a standard design or a rare foil variant. The surprise box serves as a vessel of surprise, a curated experience that merges the anticipation of street art discovery with the exclusivity of limited edition prints. It is a nod to the graffiti artist's spontaneous creation, now housed within a tangible medium that collectors can own and treasure. Rare Foils: The Chase for Limited Edition Art Budich's choice to include rare foil prints elevates the series to a high desirability within the art community. With only a handful of each foil variant, these pieces become coveted treasures, akin to the rarest of finds in the graffiti art world — a mural untouched by time or renovation. The variety of foils used, including Rainbow, Cosmos, Cubic, Dots Lite, and Escher Squares, infuse the collection with a kaleidoscope of reflective hues that mimic the vibrancy and dynamism found in street art murals. The Mind Tricks Series 2 exists as a set of collectibles and as a bridge connecting fans to the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Each print in the series is a confluence of the artist's vision and the collector's quest for unique art pieces, bringing the thrill of the hunt for street art into the domain of personal collections.
