Enjoy Mixed Media On Cradled Wood Panel Original Painting by Denial Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Ready To hang. "Recently this piece was not allowed into a show I had wanted it to be in. In Dubai, they have strict rules on obscenity and vulgarity. I had been wanting to paint this piece for a long time and was looking for just the right image to use as a base in it. I finally found it amongst the bowels of the internet. This painting is a visualization of an amazing Bill Hicks joke from his stand-up routine. In his stand up Bill goes into great detail about the evils of advertising when left unchallenged and unchecked. He imagines and describes an ad in the not-so-distant future that one day may exist. This painting is of that ad. Bill Hicks was a fucking genius and I only hope I did his work the justice it deserves. He was so inspirational in forming my current mindset, a true artist and rebel. I take inspiration from different artists in different ways. I like to visualize things like songs or speech or comedy and play with the different elements I come up with. I have a very playful mind." - Denial Denial has evolved as one the most prominent figures of contemporary pop artists, who nonetheless, continue to stay relevant and is interested in generating thought-provoking commentary. He has a long history of exploring the boundaries of appropriation, which he uses as a means of subverting the value of cultural products, imprinted in the collective memory of the Western civilization. His work, in other words, is inviting the viewer to re-imagine our dystopian society as a way of confronting it, with humor and irony as the biggest tools of the artist.

Rabbit Worries Original Wood Panel Spray Painting by Blake JonesOne of a Kind Artwork Street Art Pop Artist. 2020 Signed Spray Paint on Wood Panel Painting Original Artwork Size 20.5x48 Rabbit Worries by Blake Jones – Raw Expression on Wood in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Rabbit Worries is a 2020 one-of-a-kind original spray painting by American artist Blake Jones, executed in bold red on a reclaimed wood panel surface measuring 20.5 x 48 inches. The work showcases Jones’s iconic rabbit character, a figure that has become a recurring motif throughout his visual storytelling. Painted with a direct, unfiltered approach, this piece combines the urgency of street tagging with the aesthetic clarity of pop iconography. The character’s expression—eyes closed, mouth curved into an uneasy smile, eyebrows subtly arched—embodies a quiet tension. Its body, simplified to flowing lines and minimalist form, radiates both humor and unease. The word BLAKE appears scrawled at the bottom in matching red, affirming the artist’s authorship with the immediacy of a street signature. Emotive Simplicity and Symbolic Power Jones’s rabbit is not merely a cartoon—it is a vessel for emotional resonance. In Rabbit Worries, the figure’s design is stripped to its essentials, allowing for maximum psychological impact through minimal visual information. The expressive red spray paint against the natural wood grain forms a stark contrast, amplifying the raw emotion captured in the figure’s posture and facial cues. The vertical format of the panel heightens the intensity, drawing the eye upward through the body to the ears, which echo symbols of alertness or anxiety. This approach exemplifies a foundational strategy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork: communicate fast, speak loud, and make every line count. Spray Paint and Surface as Urban Code The use of spray paint on wood panel connects directly to graffiti tradition, where the tool and the texture inform the voice of the work. The grain of the wood remains fully visible beneath the red lines, allowing natural imperfection and urban grit to coexist with the graphic energy of Jones’s imagery. Unlike canvas or paper, wood offers resistance and character, creating a dialogue between material and message. Jones capitalizes on this, allowing the surface to influence the mood of the piece. The bold red color evokes urgency and vulnerability, echoing themes of personal struggle, performance anxiety, or internal conflict. The mark-making is fast, almost instinctual—reflecting the rhythms of street tagging but contained within a formal composition. Blake Jones and the Intersection of Humor, Anxiety, and Public Voice Blake Jones continues to explore themes of emotional identity and public language through recurring figures and familiar expressions. In Rabbit Worries, he captures a moment of introspection through a symbol usually associated with innocence and mischief. This rabbit, however, is not carefree—it carries weight in its closed eyes and curled lips, offering viewers a reflection of shared mental space. The piece speaks to the pressures of contemporary life through the language of cartoon abstraction, grounding pop visual cues in real emotional terrain. As part of the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork canon, Rabbit Worries is a striking example of how character and gesture can replace narrative, how urgency can be beautiful, and how anxiety can find voice in color and line. This artwork stands as both an object of aesthetic clarity and a portrait of psychological complexity.
