God Save Margaret Thatcher Giclee Print Record CD Box Set by Billy Childish x Jamie Reid Artwork Limited Edition Print With Safety-pin On Distressed Fine Art Paper Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 200 Artwork Size 27.6x20.5 2013 Thatcher's Children Boxed Record CD & Letter Box Set Plus L-13 Brown Bag The collaborative artwork "God Save Margaret Thatcher" by Billy Childish and Jamie Reid is a sharp and provocative commentary rendered through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The limited edition giclee print, part of a collection that includes a boxed record CD and letter box set, is a fusion of political narrative and artistic expression that captures the cultural zeitgeist of its time. Political Satire and Artistic Expression The giclee print is a bold statement within the pop art movement, a genre known for blurring the lines between high art and popular culture. Billy Childish and Jamie Reid, known for their aggressive aesthetics, use the iconography associated with Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the UK, to create a layered discourse on power, policy, and patriotism. The artwork, sized 27.6x20.5 inches, employs the distressed look typical of street art and the precision of fine art printing techniques, with the addition of a safety pin that punctuates the piece with an emblem of punk culture. The image of Thatcher, presented with a stylized rendition of the Union Jack and the phrase "God Save," evokes the nationalistic fervor and divisive politics of her era. The choice of giclee printing ensures that each piece in the limited edition of 200 retains the vibrancy and detail of the original work, making it not just a political statement but also a collector's item. Reid and Childish's Distinctive Styles Jamie Reid, famously associated with the punk rock band the Sex Pistols, brings his characteristic ransom-note typography to the collaboration, complementing Childish's raw and expressive style. The layered text over Thatcher's image creates a visual cacophony that mirrors the social and political turbulence associated with her tenure as Prime Minister. The aesthetics of the print are reminiscent of Reid's work on album covers, while Childish's influence is evident in the vibrant and unrefined quality of the imagery. This limited edition print, signed and numbered by the artists, is a testament to their shared ethos of challenging authority and convention through art. The use of distressed fine art paper adds a layer of authenticity, emulating the ephemeral nature of street art and graffiti while simultaneously offering the permanence of fine art. Boxed Record CD and Letter Box Set Accompanying the giclee print is the "Thatcher's Children" boxed record CD and letter box set, an extension of the narrative explored in the print. This set, a combination of visual art and music, encapsulates the multifaceted approach to storytelling that both Childish and Reid employ. Including music and the written word with the optical components enriches the dialogue initiated by the print, offering a more immersive experience of the artwork's thematic content. Cultural Packaging: The L-13 Brown Bag The entire collection is presented in an L-13 brown bag, a packaging choice that is both practical and symbolic. The unassuming brown bag, often associated with the bland transportation of goods, is a vessel for transporting powerful artistic and political statements. The L-13 stamp on the bag indicates the involvement of the L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, known for supporting avant-garde and counter-culture artists, further aligning the collection with the spirit of rebellion and dissent. Significance in Modern Art The "God Save Margaret Thatcher" giclee print and accompanying items hold a significant place in the narrative of modern art. They represent a confluence of street art's accessibility, pop art's use of popular imagery, and the personal touch of graffiti art. The collection is not only a reflection of the political climate of the 1980s but also a timeless exploration of the power dynamics and societal structures that continue to shape contemporary discourse. Billy Childish and Jamie Reid's collaborative effort in creating the "God Save Margaret Thatcher" collection is a masterful blend of street pop art and graffiti artwork that resonates with cultural and political relevance. The print's limited edition nature, the giclee medium's quality, and the boxed set's comprehensive nature all contribute to the collection's appeal as a significant piece of art history and a poignant commentary on the social and political landscape.

Steve Ender Dragon Minecraft Original Acrylic Painting by Dhawa Rezkyna One of a Kind Artwork on Canvas by Street Art Pop Artist. 2022 Signed Acrylic Painting Original Artwork Loose Canvas Size 15.5x20.5  Steve Ender Dragon Minecraft by Dhawa Rezkyna – Digital Myth Reimagined in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Steve Ender Dragon Minecraft is a 2022 original acrylic painting on loose canvas by Indonesian artist Dhawa Rezkyna, measuring 15.5 x 20.5 inches and signed by the artist. The work showcases Rezkyna’s mastery in fusing nostalgic digital imagery with analog painterly textures, creating a visual field where gaming mythology and emotional symbolism meet. The central figure of Steve, rendered in blocky, pixelated proportions directly referencing the global phenomenon Minecraft, rides a stylized version of the Ender Dragon. The character pairing is familiar to millions, but Dhawa shifts the context entirely—surrounding the figures with lush, hand-painted botanical flourishes and surreal floral intensity set against a fiery coral-pink background. The contrast between geometric form and organic bloom embodies a painterly synthesis that defines the most compelling work within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Digital Lore Meets Handcrafted Symbolism Rather than merely replicate digital characters, Dhawa Rezkyna transforms them into archetypes. Steve and the dragon are not in a pixelated void but in a garden of stylized reality, their forms softened and celebrated through brushstroke and composition. The Ender Dragon, usually depicted as a final boss, is here playful and approachable, its expression warm, almost cartoonish, yet filled with presence. Steve's angularity remains intact, but Rezkyna builds volume with a grainy texture that references both sponge painting and pastel shading, giving the figure a sculpted physicality rarely seen in game-based artwork. The characters float not as threats or champions, but as companions, surrounded by red hibiscus-like flowers and exaggerated green foliage that suggest both protection and fantasy. This reinterpretation of the digital narrative elevates the work beyond fandom into metaphor, where the pixel becomes symbol, and the icon becomes a stand-in for inner story. Color Theory, Texture, and Emotional Heat Dhawa Rezkyna’s command of palette gives the work its emotional temperature. The backdrop is a rich coral wash filled with tonal shifts and painterly gradients that intensify the atmosphere around the characters. The plants feel lush and tactile, the red flowers glowing against deep green stems, while the characters remain visually anchored with simplified shadows and clean silhouettes. The use of loose canvas enhances the informal power of the painting—reminding the viewer that this is not a digital rendering but a handmade object. Every brushstroke is purposeful, reinforcing the artist’s commitment to combining digital subject matter with physical process. This analog approach to a digital icon is central to the vocabulary of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where nostalgia and immediacy coexist. Dhawa Rezkyna and the Playful Revision of Pop Memory Steve Ender Dragon Minecraft is a declaration of Dhawa Rezkyna’s position in contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—a painter who reframes digital memories through the language of fine art and emotional storytelling. By pulling characters from Minecraft and placing them in a dreamlike, tropical tableau, Rezkyna disrupts the binary between fantasy and nature, between play and presence. His work suggests that memory, whether pixelated or painted, carries weight and possibility. In this painting, Steve is not just a player avatar, and the Ender Dragon is not just a game boss. They are transformed into figures of narrative and imagination, set within a universe shaped by color, texture, and the unmistakable hand of the artist.
