Metallica Helping Hands Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2024 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 500 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Featuring a Skull Flower For the Mega Rock bands Metallica, Sammy Hagar & Sistastrings "Metallica recently asked me to create the poster for their Helping Hands concert. Of course, I said yes because Metallica is one of my favorite bands and the tightest live band I have ever seen! Plus, the concert benefits some great causes. This print celebrates triumph over adversity while acknowledging that life is fragile and it’s in our hands to build the world we want for ourselves and our brothers and sisters." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Metallica Helping Hands Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey - OBEY Shepard Fairey’s Metallica Helping Hands silkscreen print fuses raw rock iconography with the sharply tuned visual philosophy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Created for Metallica’s December 13th, 2024 concert at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, the artwork stands as both a promotional and cultural artifact—one that reinforces Fairey’s unique position at the nexus of music, politics, and visual rebellion. This limited edition, hand-pulled silkscreen print on 18x24 inch cream Speckletone paper is not only signed and numbered by Fairey himself, but also issued in a strict run of 500 copies, elevating its stature as both a collectible and a testament to contemporary poster art. Design Symbolism and Visual Impact The composition centers around a stark white hand clutching a stylized flower whose petals subtly morph into a skull motif, with the flower’s stem winding in a way that evokes both delicacy and defiance. This emblem, rendered in bold reds, blacks, and whites, signals duality—life and death, fragility and force, compassion and rebellion. The deliberate contrast between the flower’s soft curves and the jagged lines of the skull mirrors the complex ethos of Metallica’s music, where heavy riffs often meet introspective lyrics. Fairey’s hallmark typography and symmetrical layout deliver the immediacy and intensity familiar in his most iconic works, extending the print’s resonance far beyond mere merchandise. Metallica and the Culture of Amplified Resistance Metallica’s presence in pop culture transcends heavy metal. Their brand of amplified resistance, sharpened through decades of visual, sonic, and lyrical output, fits naturally into the framework of Street Pop Art. Fairey’s poster positions the band not just as musicians, but as cultural avatars whose artistic collaborations hold weight in the visual conversation around social change. By visually contextualizing the concert’s philanthropic mission—benefiting Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation—Fairey presents rock music not just as expression but as action, and art as an extension of that impact. Shepard Fairey’s Role in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Fairey’s artistic lineage is defined by disruption, clarity of message, and the subversive use of commercial aesthetics to question power structures. In this print, he leverages those core traits while paying homage to a band whose legacy aligns with his own. The print maintains the stylistic elements synonymous with Fairey’s OBEY imprint—sharp silhouettes, geometric precision, and symbolic weight—while also introducing a warmth and sentimentality not always seen in his politically charged works. The image of the skull flower, set against the backdrop of a performance by Metallica, Sammy Hagar, and Sistastrings, becomes a modern-day reliquary—a symbol of unity through sound, protest, and design. This piece not only enshrines a single event but expands its reach into the broader discourse of art activism, making it a defining example of what happens when two cultural juggernauts—Shepard Fairey and Metallica—merge on canvas within the framework of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Mark Lanegan 60 Black Silkscreen Print by Cleon Peterson on Hand Deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork. 2024 Signed & Numbered Cleon Peterson Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 15x24 Silkscreen Print. "This print is a tribute to my friend, Mark Lanegan, released in honor of his 60th birthday. I’ll never forget our walks through the light and dark" -Cleon Peterson A Meaningful Tribute to a Resonant Voice Cleon Peterson, an American artist known for arresting imagery and commentary on human conflict, created this limited edition silkscreen print as a personal homage to Mark William Lanegan. Lanegan, an American singer, passed away on February 22, 2022, leaving a profound influence on those who knew him and admired his work. Peterson sought to honor the singer’s 60th birthday through this piece, reflecting the shared journeys and the spirit of discovery that bound them together. The artwork presents a striking composition in red, black, and white, symbolizing both shadowy introspection and bright revelation. Each element in the design conveys tension and release, echoing the emotional depth of Lanegan’s music and the keen observations that define Peterson’s artistic approach. This 15x24-inch print on hand deckled 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper captures a powerful exchange between two figures. One figure, rendered in vivid red, suggests an otherworldly presence, while the central human form stands in stark black. Their poses and gestures imply a push and pull of darkness and light, a motif that resonates with Lanegan’s creative path. The swirling shapes around the figures evoke fire, passion, and potential tumult, reinforcing Peterson’s signature use of bold silhouettes and purposeful negative space. By blending minimal details with high-contrast colors, the composition maintains a sharp intensity that draws the observer into its emotional core. Symbolism and Visual Expressions The interplay of color in this silkscreen print reflects the way Lanegan’s music often inhabited spaces of introspection and fervor. The red figure hints at the force of temptation or struggle, while the black figure appears poised between surrender and resistance. These themes connect to Peterson’s broader body of work, which frequently portrays dramatic confrontations between contrasting elements. The text at the top and bottom references Lanegan’s 60th birthday and a notable venue, grounding the imagery in a celebratory yet reflective context. Observers are invited to consider how memory, friendship, and creative expression intertwine, shaping a narrative that transcends a mere birthday commemoration. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Connections Followers of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork will recognize Peterson’s distinctive style, which employs flat color fields and intense outlines to deliver profound statements. This approach, reminiscent of bold murals and graphic interventions, has a directness that resonates in urban spaces as well as gallery settings. The oversized figures, emphasized by bright red and deep black, maintain the immediacy often associated with graffiti and street-based practices. Peterson’s technique interlaces pop culture influence with raw, street-inspired energy, reflecting a shared heritage of challenging conventional aesthetics. The overall arrangement echoes a modern approach to iconic visuals, where a few simplified shapes transmit a wealth of emotional content. Production Details and Collectibility Created in 2024 as a signed and numbered edition of 100, the Mark Lanegan 60 White Silkscreen Print stands as a carefully crafted testament to the artist’s dedication. Each piece is printed on luxurious 290gsm Coventry Rag Fine Art Paper, hand deckled for a subtle, artisanal feel. The tactile edges offer a nod to the handmade aspect of screen printing, merging contemporary design with time-honored techniques. Collectors value the exclusive nature of this run and the emotional resonance behind the subject matter, as Peterson’s personal connection to Lanegan adds depth to the composition. This artwork embodies the potent blend of reverence, friendship, and Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork influences that characterizes Peterson’s portfolio, reminding viewers of the enduring power that creative voices hold, even when they have departed.

Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Niagara Hand-Pulled 3-Color on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2019 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Artwork Size 24x18 Silkscreen Print "I chose an image of Ron and Niagara where I think they both look amazing, but there was a nice balance between in-your-face aggression with Ron's pose making eye contact, holding his fist up, and Niagara's seemingly demure embrace of Ron, but anyone who knows Niagara understands that though she may look sedate, she's pulling the strings. I added a switchblade that she is caressing with her finger, as a way to amplify her femme fatale chic, and because I thought it lent itself to my original idea of a title 'Bonnie & Clyde Were Lightweights'" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY Exploring the Bold Realms of "Let There Be Dark" by Shepard Fairey: A Street Pop Art Icon Shepard Fairey's "Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print" is a striking embodiment of the symbiotic relationship between street pop art and contemporary visual culture. This limited edition piece, created in collaboration with Niagara, is a visual narrative encapsulating the energy and subversive undercurrents that course through this artistic movement. As a hand-pulled 3-color print on 320gsm Natural Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, it stands as a testament to Fairey's mastery over the medium and his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of street art into the delicate art sphere. Produced in 2019, the artwork is part of a highly exclusive series, with only 150 signed and numbered editions available. The dimensions of the artwork, 24x18 inches, are significant not only for their visual impact but also for their ability to draw the viewer into the confrontational yet poised dynamic that defines the composition. Fairey's choice of subjects, Ron and Niagara, is particularly telling; their depictions are rendered with a stark contrast of black, white, and a commanding red, highlighting their iconic stances and the charged atmosphere they embody. Fairey's narrative intention behind "Let There Be Dark" is as compelling as the visual force of the artwork. In his words, he captures the essence of Ron and Niagara's personas, juxtaposing Ron's aggressive frontality with Niagara's seemingly delicate yet cunning disposition. The addition of a switchblade subtly caressed by Niagara adds a layer of danger and a nod to the femme fatale archetype. This imagery is not merely decorative; it is a deliberate act to challenge and subvert the viewer's expectations, a hallmark of Fairey's style that has cemented his place in street pop art and graffiti artwork. The title, "Let There Be Dark," invites interpretation, playing on the biblical phrase "Let there be light," suggesting a reversal or an embrace of shadow and complexity over simplicity and illumination. This reversal is symbolic of the more significant cultural critique often found in Fairey's work, where the binaries of good and evil, light and dark, are not just questioned but also deconstructed. Beyond the visual and thematic layers, the print's collectibility is further enhanced by its fine art attributes. The use of Coventry Rag Vellum fine art paper, known for its durability and smooth texture, ensures that the colors' vibrancy and the lines' precision remain intact over time. The paper choice reflects Fairey's nuanced understanding of materials and their role in elevating street art to OK art status. Shepard Fairey's "Let There Be Dark Red Silkscreen Print" is an authentic representation of the spirit of street pop art. It bridges the gap between street art's raw expressiveness and silkscreen printing's calculated precision. With its limited edition status and the artist's signature, the print is not just a piece of art; it is a cultural artifact that captures the pulse of contemporary society and the ongoing dialogue between street art and the mainstream art world. It is a vivid example of how street pop art continues to shape and influence our visual language and cultural conversations.

Treepeople 7-Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin 1992 Seattle WA Silkscreen Print by Frank Kozik Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 1992 Signed by Kozik & Numbered Limited Edition of 250 Artwork Size 11x35 Silkscreen Print Band Gig Poster by Frank Kozik. Treepeople 7 Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin RKCNDY Seattle Washington 5-15-1992 In the vibrant landscape of early 90s pop culture, Frank Kozik's "Treepeople 7-Year Bitch Gnome Nubbin" silkscreen print emerges as a vivid artifact of the era's music scene, particularly that of Seattle, Washington. Dated May 15, 1992, and designed for a concert at the now-legendary venue RKCNDY, the poster represents a visual symphony of the zeitgeist, highlighting the grit and raw energy that defined the grunge movement. This hand-pulled print on fine art paper is a limited edition, with Kozik signing and numbering each of the 250 pieces, underscoring the exclusivity and cultural value of the work. With its size stretching to an impressive 11x35 inches, the artwork presents a striking design that embodies the anarchic spirit associated with Kozik's work and the music of the featured bands—Treepeople, 7 Year Bitch, Gnome, and Nubbin. The central figure in the print is a clown-like character, a recurring motif in Kozik's work, which often blends the grotesque with the whimsical. The figure's exaggerated features and the explosion of colors around it create a sense of celebration and parody, a duality that often permeates street art. Such pieces are more than mere promotional items; they are snapshots of a cultural moment. They reflect the aesthetic and ethos of the underground music scenes of the time, where the visual art was as much a part of the experience as the music itself. Kozik's prints, like this one, connect the energy of live performances with the tangible world of art collecting, offering fans a piece of history that encapsulates the sound, mood, and rebellion of the period. The poster's inclusion in the annals of pop, street, and graffiti art is undeniable. It captures the do-it-yourself essence and the anti-establishment stance that the visual and musical arts expressed during the early nineties. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it stands not just as a piece of memorabilia but as a symbolic work that continues to influence the aesthetic trajectories of street and pop art to this day.

The Devil Likes Lo/Fi Low Fidelity Music Bear Vinyl Art Toy by Luke Chueh Limited Edition Collectible Sculpture Figure Fine Artwork by Graffiti Pop Street Artist. 2024 Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 4x7 New In Box Stamped Vinyl Fine Art Toy Figure Sculpture of Devil Bear in Hoodie and Headphones Chilling. The Devil Likes Lo/Fi by Luke Chueh: A Vinyl Meditation on Mood in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Devil Likes Lo/Fi is a 2024 limited edition vinyl art toy by artist Luke Chueh, issued in a run of 300 pieces. Standing 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide, the figure features Chueh’s unmistakable bear character reimagined in fiery red, wearing a black hoodie emblazoned with a devil dog graphic and the word Possessed, paired with oversized headphones. This fine art sculpture arrives boxed in a custom-designed display package that mirrors the figure's brooding silhouette and subdued posture. With hands tucked into his hoodie and a stare that reflects both intensity and introspection, the figure taps into the emotional atmosphere of lo-fi culture while grounding itself within the visual and philosophical framework of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Design, Posture, and Attitude in Chueh’s Devil Bear The character in The Devil Likes Lo/Fi is calm yet emotionally heavy, caught in a moment of isolation that feels deeply familiar. The bear’s red vinyl body symbolizes temptation, rebellion, and discomfort, softened by the relaxed shape of the hoodie and the universal symbol of personal space: a pair of headphones. The blend of casual clothing and stark character design echoes themes of disconnection and inner retreat. The simple black-on-red contrast and minimalist sculpting highlight Chueh’s commitment to emotional clarity over complexity. This figure is not about narrative—it is about presence. It radiates the feeling of being alone but not lost, withdrawn but still engaged with the quiet rhythm of low fidelity music and thought. In this sense, the toy embodies the kind of inner-world expression that defines Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using iconography and stylization to communicate deeper emotional truths. Luke Chueh’s Expanding Universe of Emotional Objects Luke Chueh, based in Los Angeles, continues to be one of the most compelling figures in modern designer toy culture and Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. His ability to distill complex emotional experiences into deceptively simple characters has established him as both a visual storyteller and a sculptor of silence. The Devil Likes Lo/Fi is a continuation of Chueh’s exploration into mood, perception, and the aesthetics of withdrawal. With subtle design cues and an emphasis on posture over expression, this piece joins a long lineage of bears and devils used by Chueh to externalize the internal. His work transforms pop figures into cultural touchstones for psychological reflection, and with this edition, he brings contemporary audio culture into conversation with his ongoing visual language of melancholy and solitude. Collectibility and Conceptual Resonance in Street Pop Art Form As a limited edition of 300, The Devil Likes Lo/Fi functions not only as a collectible but also as a sculptural reflection on modern emotional states. The figure's stillness, the headphone motif, and its choice of color all reinforce its narrative of personal space, lo-fi rhythm, and quiet rebellion. Packaged with precision and conceptually bound by Chueh’s visual language, this figure stands out as a meditation on being present without performance. Its small scale amplifies its message, embodying the idea that meaningful expression often comes not through loudness, but through controlled, crafted subtlety. In the broader context of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this sculpture is a physical playlist of emotion—rendered in vinyl, wrapped in symbolism, and waiting to be understood in silence.

Demagogue 2-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist For Musician Franz Ferdinand. Signed & Numbered Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 500 October 18, 2016 I’ve been a big fan of the band Franz Ferdinand since they first hit the scene in 2003. Stylistically, Franz mixes a pinch of glam rock, a nice serving of post-punk and a bit of dance-punk to create a sound that is irresistibly infectious. The band is undeniably stylish in their fashion and their album artwork which is frequently inspired by Russian Constructivism, one of my biggest inspirations as well. The lyrics of singer Alex Kapranos are witty, charming, and often insightful about human nature. Franz Ferdinand is a band of style and substance. -Shepard Fairey

AP Artist Proof 2006 Signed & AP Marked Original Run Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Young Denny Laine From Rock Bands Moody Blues & Wings Leaning On Guitar. "This Machine Kills Fascists AP" is a captivating silkscreen print by the renowned street artist Shepard Fairey, commonly recognized by the moniker "OBEY". The artwork stands as a testament to Fairey's ability to merge street art sensibilities with the nuances of pop art, creating pieces that are both visually striking and politically charged. This particular piece is an Artist Proof (AP), a term in the art world that signifies a print from the original run that the artist keeps for personal records or as a reference. Not only is this proof marked with 'AP' and signed by Fairey, it's dated to 2006, highlighting its authenticity. The print's focal point is a meticulous depiction of young Denny Laine, a pivotal figure in the history of rock, having been a member of iconic bands such as Moody Blues and Wings. The image captures Laine leaning on a guitar, an emblem of his musical prowess and legacy. The choice of Laine as the subject adds layers of cultural and historical significance to the piece. Interestingly, the source of this print is a 1967 photo by Peter Webb, ensuring that the artwork encapsulates not only Fairey's interpretation but also the spirit of the original image. Shepard Fairey's decision to use Laine's image and pair it with the provocative statement "This Machine Kills Fascists" not only cements the print's position in pop and street art genres but also encourages the viewer to delve into the deeper socio-political implications and narratives surrounding the artwork. It's a harmonious blend of aesthetic allure and potent messaging, underscoring Fairey's mastery in communicating powerful ideas through visual mediums.

MUSACK Terry Hall Tribute Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled 2-Color on True White Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print. Lynval Golding & Team Specials, Billy Idol, Jane Wiedlin, Tim Armstrong, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, Adrian Young, Fishbone, Jerry Harrison, Tre Cool, Fred Armisen, Jesse Michaels. Donita Sparks.The Jg All-Stars. Bite Me Bambi. Record Safari Gig Poster "Terry Hall, singer of the Specials, one of my favorite bands, died of pancreatic cancer a little less than a year ago. This past Saturday, Musack did an amazing tribute to Terry with a bonkers lineup, including Horace Panter and Lynval Golding of the Specials, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s, Fishbone, No Doubt (except Gwen), Tom Morello, Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy, Donita Sparks of L7, and others! I fell in love with the Specials in the summer of 1989, around the time I started listening to Operation Ivy and Fishbone, so to have members of all those bands celebrating Terry was incredible! I was also able to do the poster for the event based on a beautiful photo by Chalkie Davies. There are two versions of the print, one with the event lineup included and another that is a simpler tribute to Terry. The black and white print are editions of 325, but the show lineup print is a smaller quantity (edition of 300) because many were sold at the event, and all proceeds from those benefit Musack, an excellent music charity for kids. On a personal note, Terry came by my studio a couple of times, and we talked for hours. He was kind, thoughtful, and very open about life’s ups and downs. We talked about kids, mental health, insecurity, relationships, the therapeutic benefits of creativity, and many other heavy topics. He was a kindred spirit who I thought I’d be friends with for many years. This print was done with love… thanks for the tunes Terry!" -Shepard Fairey- OBEY MUSACK's tribute to the legendary Terry Hall, the iconic singer of the Specials, is encapsulated in a visually arresting silkscreen print crafted by Shepard Fairey, renowned for his OBEY art movement. This piece, hand-pulled in 2-color on True White Speckletone Fine Art Paper, is a testament to the profound influence Terry Hall had on the music industry and its fans. The artwork is an exquisite fusion of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, embodying the very essence of Terry Hall's spirit and impact on the world. Released in 2023 as a signed and numbered limited edition, with only 300 prints in circulation, the artwork measures 18x24 inches. The artistry is profound, drawing inspiration from a poignant photograph Chalkie Davies took. Two versions of this print exist, one showcasing an event lineup and the other serving as a more streamlined homage to Hall. While the black and white prints are available in editions of 325, the one bearing the event lineup is more exclusive, with a count of 300, many of which were already acquired during the event. The backstory of this piece is equally captivating. MUSACK's heartfelt tribute event celebrated Terry's life, boasting a staggering lineup of eminent musicians, from Horace Panter and Lynval Golding of the Specials to Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s, Fishbone, and members of No Doubt, among others. Shepard Fairey's interactions with Terry add depth to the artwork. Terry, in his visits to Shepard's studio, revealed layers of his personality, discussing topics ranging from mental health to the therapeutic nature of creativity. Shepard saw him as a kindred spirit, and their interactions were laden with deep understanding and mutual respect. This artwork, hence, is not just an aesthetic masterpiece but a heartfelt tribute, reverberating with the essence of Terry Hall's life and legacy.

Signed by Henery Rollins, Signed & Numbered Screen Print ROLLINS CAPITALISM Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 1200 August 28, 2012 Henry Rollins has been a hero of mine since I got into Black Flag in 1984. Henry is a role model in his amazing taste and output in music, his political engagement, his monumental work ethic, and his social consciousness. Henry tours a ton and stays very aware of the world. Back before the 2008 recession started, Henry had an editorial segment on his TV show where he said “the president says the fundamentals of the economy are strong…I say start learning Chinese”. Henry’s new tour is called CAPITALISM and I’m sure he will have a lot of wise, funny, and maybe prophetic things to say. I was given the honor by Henry of illustrating his concept for the tour, him as a beaten-down Uncle Sam. I have a few of the prints available on my site signed by both me and Henry. The rest will be available on Henry’s tour which everyone should see. Pick a print up before the American brand of capitalism crumbles under the weight of its own ego. -Shepard Fairey

Overloading The Grid David Byrne AP Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY x Bobby Grossman Hand-Pulled Color on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist Proof. AP Artist Proof 2024 Signed by Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Marked AP Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print of Talking Heads Singer David Byrne Photo by Bobby Grossman. "I’ve been a fan of the Talking Heads since I was a kid and heard songs like “Once in A Lifetime” and “Burning Down the House” on the radio, well before I discovered punk rock and understood the Talking Heads’ important role in the nascent punk scene as it developed in NYC at CBGB’s in the mid-70’s. I remember seeing the film Stop Making Sense on HBO as a teen and thinking the Talking Heads singer, David Byrne, was very weird and very fearless to dance around in an absurdly oversized suit. I didn’t yet realize that exploring the awkward nature of existence was precisely Byrne’s strong suit! Later, as I got a little more sophisticated, I realized how creatively adventurous the Talking Heads were both musically and with their visuals." -Shepard Fairey Overloading The Grid David Byrne AP by Shepard Fairey and Bobby Grossman The Overloading The Grid Artist Proof silkscreen print from 2024 brings together two highly influential figures of countercultural visual language: Shepard Fairey and Bobby Grossman. This hand-pulled screen print features the likeness of David Byrne, the iconic frontman of the Talking Heads, based on a classic photograph by Grossman and reimagined through Fairey’s unmistakable graphic aesthetic. Printed on cream Speckletone fine art paper and signed and marked AP by Shepard Fairey, this 18x24 inch edition merges photography, music history, and political design into a single portrait that reflects both artistic legacy and cultural disruption. The Legacy of David Byrne in Visual and Sonic Innovation David Byrne’s influence transcends music and bleeds into the worlds of performance art, fashion, and design. As the lead singer of Talking Heads, Byrne’s cerebral yet experimental style embodied the sensibilities of the downtown New York scene during the punk explosion of the 1970s. With an offbeat stage presence and a flair for embracing discomfort as a thematic device, Byrne made awkwardness a mode of expression and communication. His contributions to music videos, album artwork, and stage productions helped define the visual language of new wave and post-punk, laying the groundwork for a visual narrative style that continues to influence contemporary art and design. Shepard Fairey’s Graphic Interpretation Through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Shepard Fairey’s reinterpretation of Bobby Grossman’s photograph speaks directly to the ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. With signature grid overlays, limited color palettes, and stark shadows, Fairey constructs a visual tension between formality and rebellion. His use of contrast and stylized design imbues the portrait with a power often reserved for propaganda art, reflecting his career-long interest in political messaging and iconography. The screen print format itself holds deep roots in street art and DIY culture, enhancing the piece’s connection to underground aesthetics. Fairey's technique amplifies Byrne’s gaze, turning the portrait into a symbol of creative defiance and urban sophistication. Bobby Grossman’s Influence on Cultural Memory Photographer Bobby Grossman captured the raw, behind-the-scenes energy of New York’s downtown scene with honesty and intimacy. His photography functioned not just as documentation but as an active component of the era’s aesthetic. This collaboration with Fairey pays tribute to Grossman’s influence as an image maker and archivist of punk, pop, and street art culture. His image of Byrne—now stylized, reframed, and elevated—finds new resonance within the larger context of contemporary art. By pairing Grossman’s lens with Fairey’s visual voice, the print becomes more than a portrait; it is a statement on the enduring impact of artists who shaped the language of resistance and reinvention through Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

This hand-pulled silkscreen print was designed to commemorate the band’s performance at the Beacham Theater in Orlando, Florida. Produced in a limited edition and numbered, this 18x24-inch artwork captures the nostalgia and energy associated with both Modest Mouse’s music and the aesthetic of analog-era sound. The careful craftsmanship of the print, combined with its raw and textural feel, makes it a standout piece in both the world of gig posters and modern street pop art. The Artistic Style and Composition of the Gig Poster Fugscreens’ design for this poster is both minimalistic and deeply evocative, using a limited color palette and bold outlines to create a sense of vintage authenticity. The central image features an old-school Walkman cassette player and a pair of headphones resting on a textured surface. The device itself carries the label Orlando, grounding the piece in its specific concert location while also evoking the personal and intimate nature of listening to music on cassette. The composition places heavy emphasis on nostalgia, making it feel like a snapshot from an era when music was deeply personal and portable in a tangible way. The typography used for Modest Mouse is organic and hand-drawn, with a rough, textured quality that mirrors the do-it-yourself aesthetic of street pop art & graffiti artwork. The uneven, hand-rendered lettering reinforces the raw and unpolished ethos that has always defined Modest Mouse’s sound. The print’s frame, made of thick, uneven lines, gives the illusion of a worn-out music poster, further emphasizing the theme of analog culture and imperfection as an artistic choice. Music and Nostalgia in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Street pop art & graffiti artwork often draws on themes of nostalgia, repurposing images of outdated technology and cultural artifacts to evoke emotional connections with the past. This gig poster does precisely that, using a Walkman as its centerpiece to reference a time when physical media shaped music consumption. The tactile nature of silkscreen printing enhances this effect, giving the artwork a physical depth that echoes the texture of old album covers and worn-out cassette cases. The sense of impermanence that comes with gig posters and street art is also reflected here, as these prints exist as a momentary documentation of a specific event, much like how street art often responds to a fleeting moment in time. Fugscreens’ work aligns with the ethos of gig posters that have long been associated with underground music scenes and independent artistry. Like street artists tagging walls with unique designs, gig poster artists create one-of-a-kind visuals that both promote and commemorate live performances. The direct, almost hand-made quality of this print ties it back to the roots of punk, indie rock, and alternative music, where visuals play just as big a role in shaping a band’s identity as their sound does. The Impact and Collectibility of the Limited Edition Silkscreen Print As a numbered limited edition piece, the Modest Mouse Orlando 2014 gig poster carries a sense of exclusivity that enhances its desirability among collectors. The 18x24-inch format makes it a substantial yet easily displayable artwork, perfect for music lovers who appreciate the intersection of street pop art & graffiti artwork with music culture. The hand-pulled silkscreen process adds another layer of authenticity, as each print contains slight variations, making every piece unique. Fugscreens has a reputation for blending urban aesthetics with detailed screenprinting techniques, and this poster is no exception. The merging of music history, personal nostalgia, and a distinctly handmade approach make this print more than just a concert souvenir—it becomes an artistic statement. The continued appreciation for gig posters as an art form ensures that works like this remain culturally significant, capturing moments in music history while embracing the raw, expressive qualities of street pop art & graffiti artwork.

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.

Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 Silkscreen Print by CHema Skandal! Hand-Pulled on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Screenprint Artwork. 2014 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 30  Artwork Size 18.5x24.5 Silkscreen Print for The Chancers Music Album Age of Rudeness. Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 Silkscreen Print by CHema Skandal! Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 is a limited edition silkscreen print created by CHema Skandal! in 2014. This hand-pulled screenprint, sized at 18.5x24.5 inches, was produced in a signed and numbered edition of 30. The artwork was designed in connection with The Chancers' music album Age of Rudeness, merging the themes of ska, punk, and underground music culture with the raw energy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Known for his bold visual storytelling, CHema Skandal! brings a chaotic yet playful aesthetic to this piece, embodying the spirit of independent art and music scenes. Visual Aesthetics and Composition The print features a dynamic and cartoon-like character, exaggerated in expression and motion, dressed in winter gear while playfully engaged in a snowball fight. The character’s mischievous grin and energetic pose add a sense of rebellious joy, reminiscent of classic underground comic book styles and punk poster design. The typography, hand-drawn and slightly distressed, contributes to the raw and unfiltered nature of the composition. The color palette, limited to bold blue and magenta, enhances the high-contrast aesthetic commonly associated with DIY printmaking and graffiti-style artwork. The rough textures and imperfect ink application highlight the hand-crafted silkscreen process, reinforcing the authenticity of the print as a piece of urban street-inspired art. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Influence CHema Skandal! has long been associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, blending traditional printmaking with the immediacy and accessibility of urban street culture. Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 reflects this influence through its punk-infused design and the incorporation of playful yet subversive imagery. The piece evokes the energy of independent gig posters, zine culture, and protest art, all of which have roots in the underground scenes that define street art movements. The hand-pulled silkscreen process further cements the connection to DIY aesthetics, where imperfections and variations in each print contribute to its unique identity. The layered use of texture and negative space gives the composition a spontaneous quality, aligning with the raw nature of street-based artwork. Connection to Music and Cultural Impact This print was created for The Chancers’ album Age of Rudeness, reflecting the strong relationship between visual art and independent music. CHema Skandal! has frequently collaborated with musicians, designing posters and album covers that capture the rebellious and energetic spirit of ska, punk, and rock. The imagery in Endless Winter Chicago 2013-2014 reflects both the harsh reality of Chicago’s winter and the resilience of underground culture, where creativity thrives regardless of external conditions. The scarcity of this edition, with only 30 prints in circulation, makes it a highly sought-after collectible among fans of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The continued relevance of CHema Skandal!’s work in both gallery and street settings highlights his influence in shaping contemporary print-based street art movements.

Created by the inimitable Frank Kozik, renowned for his poster art, this artwork is more than a mere decoration - it serves as a testament to the era it embodies, an artifact of the vibrant street art culture of the late 20th century. Hand-pulled on high-quality fine art paper, this print radiates a raw, authentic feel. Its dimensions, 22.5x17.5 inches, make it a robust statement piece. With a limited edition of just 675, each copy is signed by Kozik himself and meticulously numbered. This meticulousness in the production process elevates the work beyond the ephemeral nature usually associated with street art, making it a collectible piece. Staged at the Studion in Stockholm, Sweden, on the 5th of June, 1996, the Nomads' anniversary gig was immortalized by this striking print. It depicts a muscle car engaged in an electrifying burnout, a bold image that vibrates with the punk-infused energy of the Nomads' music and the rebellious street art spirit that Kozik champions. The imagery is both a tribute to the heady power of the automobile and a symbol of the band's audacious spirit. This piece doesn't merely commemorate a concert, but a particular moment in time and the cultural shifts happening within it. The explosive vehicular illustration is a tangible representation of the era's energy, capturing the essence of the Nomads' music, and the fiery spirit of Kozik's artistry. The juxtaposition of a refined fine art print with a subject steeped in grit and rebellion makes for a captivating paradox.

George Harrison Beatles British Super Limited Edition Giclee Print on Fine Art Paper by Mike Mitchell Counter-Culture Street Artist. 2013 Signed & Numbered on Back Limited edition of 100 Artwork Size 4x6 Giclee Print by Mike Mitchell of Superman Clark Kent Pose Stylized with George Harrison of England Music Rock N Roll Band The Beatles Fame. George Harrison in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork George Harrison, a member of one of the most influential rock bands in history, The Beatles, has become an iconic figure in street pop art and graffiti artwork. His presence in visual culture extends beyond music, as his distinctive style, spirituality, and contributions to counterculture movements make him a compelling subject for modern artists. His time with The Beatles, solo career, and philosophical pursuits have led to his imagery appearing in a variety of graffiti murals, pop art prints, and stylized illustrations. The Beatles Influence on Street Pop Art The Beatles revolutionized music, fashion, and visual expression, making them a frequent subject in street pop art and graffiti artwork. Harrison, in particular, stood out due to his fusion of Western rock with Eastern influences, inspiring artists who seek to blend traditional and modern styles in their work. The Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band era, with its bold, psychedelic imagery and elaborate costumes, provides an endless source of inspiration for contemporary artists. In pop art and graffiti murals, Harrison’s distinctive mustache, long hair, and flamboyant attire from the late 1960s serve as an instantly recognizable silhouette. His explorations into Hindu spirituality, transcendental meditation, and mysticism also make him a symbol of alternative thought and artistic rebellion, aligning him perfectly with the ethos of street art. George Harrison’s Counterculture Legacy in Visual Art As one of the driving forces behind The Beatles' psychedelic phase, Harrison’s impact on street pop art and graffiti artwork is particularly evident in pieces that explore themes of consciousness, enlightenment, and surrealism. Many artists depict him surrounded by kaleidoscopic patterns, Indian motifs, and cosmic elements, reflecting his spiritual journey. Modern graffiti artists often use stencil techniques and bold outlines to capture his likeness, emphasizing his stoic yet contemplative expression. Some reinterpret Harrison’s Sgt. Pepper’s regalia, infusing it with vibrant neon hues and surreal distortions to create a fresh, contemporary take on his image. The Continuing Presence of Harrison in Urban Art Harrison’s timeless influence on music, spirituality, and artistic expression keeps him alive in street pop art and graffiti artwork. His ability to evolve beyond just a rock musician into a symbol of peace, introspection, and alternative culture cements his place in counterculture art. Whether portrayed in psychedelic murals, pop art prints, or street art collages, George Harrison remains a powerful visual subject that continues to inspire generations of artists.

Smokey Robinson- Red 3-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Cream Speckle Tone Paper by Shepard Fairey Rare Street Art OBEY Pop Artwork Artist. Signed by Fairey & legendary music artist Smokey Robinson. Screen Print 18 x 24 inches Edition of 450 2010 "I was amazed when Smokey contacted me to do a portrait to commemorate his 50 years in the music business, and a little nostalgic at the thought of his impact on me as a kid. Smokey came into the studio to hang out and sign them. He's a really nice, upbeat guy who has a real lust for life, maybe that's why he looks like he hasn't aged in 30 years. Believe it or not, Smokey signed every single print with his very beautiful and painstaking signature. It's worth picking up a print for that alone. Mention the name Smokey Robinson and the first thing that automatically comes to mind is Motown. It's understandable given that it was Robinson's hits, first as the leader of the Miracles, and then later as a solo artist that propelled the famed label during the 60s." -Shepard Fairey

Mixtape Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Matte Velvet Rag Paper by Graffiti Street Art Pop Artist Dave Pollot. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 19.82x24 Edition of 100 -Signed and numbered in pencil beneath in image -including 2" white margins -Printed on matte velvet rag paper Exploring Dave Pollot's Mixtape Archival Print Dave Pollot is an American artist known for innovatively integrating street art elements into classical and pop art themes. His work often involves reimagining thrift store paintings by introducing modern elements into the otherwise classical compositions, creating a whimsical and thought-provoking juxtaposition. In his limited edition piece titled "Mixtape," Pollot combines the aesthetic of street pop art with the delicate sensibilities of traditional still life, creating a visually striking artwork that resonates with a broad audience. This artwork, signed and numbered by Pollot himself, is part of a limited edition of 100 pieces, each printed on matte velvet rag paper, emphasizing its exclusivity and appeal to collectors. Characteristics and Medium "Mixtape" features a lush arrangement of flowers, a classical subject in art, contrasted sharply by including a modern cassette labeled "Awesome Mix." This blend of the old and the new is characteristic of Pollot's style, where he seamlessly merges elements from different eras to comment on the transient nature of art and cultural artifacts. The artwork is rendered on matte velvet rag paper, a choice that enhances the colors and gives the piece a soft, tactile quality that complements its visual depth. Matte paper also avoids the glare that glossy prints might exhibit, allowing for a more intimate and engaging viewing experience. The Significance of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork in Modern Culture Street pop art and graffiti have evolved from their rebellious, underground origins to become recognized and celebrated contemporary art forms. Artists like Dave Pollot, who engage with these styles, often do so to make statements about society or to bring a new perspective to traditional art forms. In "Mixtape," the cassette tape – an object that symbolizes the recent past and evokes nostalgia – serves as a reminder of the rapid pace of technological and cultural change. Including this element in a traditional still life disrupts the expected visual narrative and invites the viewer to reflect on the evolution of music media and its impact on personal and collective memory. Like much of Pollot's work, this artwork appeals to a diverse audience. It reaches those who appreciate the technical skill required in traditional art forms and those who enjoy street art's edgy, contemporary feel. Additionally, the limited nature of the print run – only 100 pieces – along with the artist's signature, adds a layer of collectibility and value, making it a prized possession for both art lovers and investors. In the broader context, Pollot's "Mixtape" exemplifies how modern artists are blurring the lines between high art and popular culture. By bringing elements of street pop art into the gallery, these artists are challenging preconceived notions about what constitutes "fine art" and who art is for. This art democratization reflects a more significant cultural shift towards inclusivity and the recognition of diverse artistic expressions. Pollot's work celebrates this shift, showcasing how traditional and modern visual elements can coexist harmoniously and create new meanings. Dave Pollot's "Mixtape" is more than just a visually appealing piece; it is a thoughtful commentary on the intersection of past and present, popular culture's temporary nature, and art's evolving boundaries. Through this work, Pollot captures the essence of street pop art and graffiti artwork and elevates it, offering a sophisticated yet accessible piece that resonates with a contemporary audience.

Just A Minor Threat Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Hand-Pulled on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Artwork Obey Pop Culture Artist. 2023 Signed by Glen E Friedman x Shepard Fairey- OBEY & Numbered Limited Edition of 550 Artwork Size 18x24 Silkscreen Print Depicting Punk Rock Music Band Minor Threat & Ian MacKaye Stylized Raging Concert Photo by Glen E Friedman "I first heard Minor Threat in 1985 when I had been skateboarding and listening to punk and hardcore for a year. I was quickly becoming more confident, outspoken, and energized by D.I.Y. culture, and I was voraciously hungry for things that fuelled my emotional and intellectual evolution. Minor Threat was rocket fuel for my journey. Not only is their music a ferocious explosion of energy, but their playing is tight, and Ian MacKaye’s lyrics are intelligent and provocative. On top of that, Minor Threat created their own label, Dischord Records, to put out their music as well as records by other D.C. bands. Minor Threat and Dischord are profound influences on me, so I was very excited to collaborate with Glen on a Minor Threat print to celebrate the release of his new book “Just a Minor Threat.” Glen has the most intimate and powerful photos of Minor Threat, so it was possible to craft an illustration with strong images of all the band members. I’m also incredibly grateful to have the blessing of the members of Minor Threat." -Shepard Fairey- OBEY "Minor Threat is obviously one of the great foundations of hardcore punk rock. Inspiration for legions around the world, including Shepard and myself. As we’ve done with my last several books, Shepard and I got together and collaborated to make a print celebrating the release of the new publication. Shepard is one of my designing confidants and often gives me advice during my process of bookmaking so it makes sense that once the project comes to fruition, we enthusiastically make these prints of artists that inspire both of us. This print is based on separate images of each individual in the band as well as the always omnipresent audience that were a major part of incredible Minor Threat gigs. The book came out great and is different from previous books; it has its own voice, not only through the trove of never-before-seen photographs but also through the incredible essays throughout. Be inspired." -Glen E Friedman The intersection of punk rock and visual art finds a pulsating tribute in Shepard Fairey's silkscreen print titled "Just A Minor Threat." This limited edition piece, numbered to only 550 and signed by both Fairey and celebrated photographer Glen E. Friedman, crystallizes the essence of the iconic hardcore punk band Minor Threat. Created on Cream Speckletone Fine Art Paper and measuring 18x24 inches, the artwork commemorates not only the band's fierce energy but also the release of Friedman's new book. Minor Threat, fronted by Ian MacKaye, left an indelible mark on the punk scene with their explosive music and D.I.Y. ethos. This band didn't just play music; they ignited a cultural movement by establishing Dischord Records, encouraging self-expression and independence within the arts community. Fairey, himself a product of the skateboarding and punk cultures of the 1980s, attributes his confidence and outspoken nature to the catalytic influence of bands like Minor Threat. His collaboration with Friedman is not just a celebration of their shared inspirations but a manifestation of the band's impact on their creative and intellectual trajectories. The artwork vividly captures the raw intensity of a Minor Threat performance, with each member and the palpable energy of the audience rendered in a style that bridges the gap between photography and stylized illustration. This visual synergy complements the narrative of Friedman's book, which not only offers an array of unseen photographs but is peppered with essays that give voice to the era and the band's pivotal role in it. Fairey's print stands as a testament to the band's legacy and as a beacon for those fueled by the spirit of rebellion and authenticity that Minor Threat so potently symbolized.

Obey Long Playing AP Dance Floor Riot Silkscreen Print by Shepard Fairey- OBEY Artist Proof Hand-Pulled 1-Color Screen Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Graffiti Pop Street Artwork. AP Artist Proof 2011 Signed & AP Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 13x13 "Long before I knew about art galleries or even street art, I was excited about album cover art, if only because it was the visual counterpart to the music on the records I loved. Album covers conjured a euphoric association with the listening experience. Most of my earliest home-made tee shirts were stencils based on punk album covers… No matter how much I love art, or try to convince myself of its relevance in society, the fact remains that music is a lot cooler and way more able to reach people’s hearts and minds… but I’m a populist and I look at it this way: I may not play an instrument, but I’m gonna rock it hard as nails anyway. With my art I try to capture the same energy and spirit that makes music so powerful and democratic. REVOLUTIONS is a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years." -Shepard Fairey Obey Long Playing AP by Shepard Fairey: A Fusion of Music and Street Pop Art The Obey Long Playing Artist Proof silkscreen print by Shepard Fairey is a striking homage to the enduring influence of music on visual culture.
