Super K Mario Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Super Mario Special K Video Game Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. "Super K Mario Blotter Paper" is a provocative work of art by Ben Frost, a notable figure for juxtaposing pop art iconography with subversive contexts. This limited edition archival pigment print, released on April 19, 2023, swiftly stands out in pop, street, and graffiti art, stirring dialogue about culture and consumerism. Limited to 100, each piece is meticulously signed and numbered, affirming its uniqueness and collectible status. Frost's creation is a dynamic 7.5 x 7.5 inches print crafted on perforated blotter paper, which traditionally is associated with the distribution of LSD, a usage that the artwork cleverly alludes to without endorsing. The piece showcases the famed video game character Super Mario, depicted in vibrant colors, entwined with the word "KETAMINE" and associated pharmaceutical verbiage. This visual blend delivers a potent statement on the recreational drug culture while playing with the commercialization of beloved childhood figures. The 'Super Mario Special K' title fuses the name of the iconic Nintendo character with a slang term for ketamine, further pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and social commentary. Each blotter is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, lending an element of handcrafted authenticity to the work and providing a tactile connection to the counterculture Kesey's father, Ken Kesey, was a part of. This process not only exemplifies the artist's attention to detail but also embeds each piece with a sense of personal touch and historical reverence. Ben Frost's art is not for the faint of heart; it confronts the viewer with nostalgia and shock, prompting a re-examination of the icons that populate our collective consciousness. The "Super K Mario Blotter Paper" is a testament to his ability to subvert mainstream symbols and present them back to society with a fresh, if not jarring, perspective. Collectors and admirers of this limited edition work receive more than a piece of art; they acquire a statement, a conversation starter, and a bold critique of the intersections between pop culture, art, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Tripping Devil is an original hand-drawn art drawing on framed, hand-deckled, aged art paper by Surreal Artist Naoto Hattori. 2012 Signed Original One of a Kind Pencil/Graphite Drawing Framed Artwork Frame Size 8.5x8.5 Image Size 3x5 Custom Framed & Matted By Artist. The Fusion of Street Pop and Graffiti Art in Naoto Hattori's Work The intersection of street pop art and graffiti represents a vibrant and often rebellious art form that seeks to challenge traditional aesthetics, present social commentary, and engage public spaces as a canvas for expression. Naoto Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is a profound example of this artistic intersection, although it differs from the conventional spray-painted murals on city walls. This 2012 original pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to the diverse techniques and materials employed within the genre, bridging the raw spirit of street art with the meticulous skills of classical drawing. Hattori's piece is delicately framed, sized at 8.5x8.5 inches, with the image measuring 3x5 inches. The artist crafted the custom frame and matting, underscoring the personalized touch and attention to detail that Hattori brings to his work. The art paper is hand-deckled and aged, a choice that lends an additional layer of texture and a sense of historical depth to the piece. This material selection is particularly poignant, as it imbues the artwork with an ancient quality that contrasts sharply with the typically ephemeral nature of street and graffiti art. Naoto Hattori's Unique Aesthetic within Street Pop Art Naoto Hattori's oeuvre is often characterized by dream-like surrealism, where fantastical creatures and morphed figures challenge the viewer's perception of reality. "Tripping Devil" is no exception. The drawing features a creature with a human-like face and a body that transitions into an octopus-like form. This blending of the human and the surreal is a hallmark of Hattori's style and speaks to the transformative potential of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The stark monochromatic palette of graphite focuses on the intricate details and shading that bring the "Tripping Devil" to life. Despite being contained within a frame, the artwork carries the spirit of street pop art, often characterized by a bold defiance of boundaries and an embrace of the unconventional. Hattori's systematic approach to drawing parallels the deliberate and thoughtful techniques used by street artists and graffiti writers to create their pieces, albeit on a different scale and medium. Naoto Hattori and the Collectibility of Street Pop Art Collectors and enthusiasts of street pop art and graffiti artwork are increasingly seeking pieces to be displayed within the home, transitioning from public spectacle to personal treasure. Hattori's "Tripping Devil" exemplifies this trend, offering the art market a one-of-a-kind piece that encapsulates the essence of street art in a form that is both collectible and suited for private exhibition. The artist's signature on the piece is a seal of authenticity and a bridge between the artist and the collector. The originality of the "Tripping Devil" is paramount. In a domain where mass production and replication are commonplace, Hattori's commitment to creating a singular original work elevates the piece's value and appeal. The meticulous nature of the work, combined with its unique presentation on aged art paper, creates a dialogue between the transient nature of street art and the enduring quality of fine art collecting. The Cultural Relevance of Hattori's Artistry In the broader context of street pop art and graffiti artwork, Hattori's "Tripping Devil" stands out as a cultural artifact that embodies the innovative spirit of these art forms. While street pop art often conveys messages about popular culture and societal issues, Hattori's work delves into the psyche, exploring themes of identity, consciousness, and the human condition through a surrealistic lens. This piece, while not displayed in a public space, continues the tradition of street pop art and graffiti artwork with its aim to provoke thought and evoke emotion. The surreal elements invite interpretation and reflection, much like the larger-than-life murals and tags in urban environments. Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is a reminder that the heart of street art lies not only in its location but also in its ability to connect with viewers on a profound level, challenging perceptions and encouraging a deeper engagement with the visual narrative. Naoto Hattori's "Tripping Devil" is an exquisite example of the potential for cross-pollination between street pop art, graffiti artwork, and traditional drawing techniques. It stands as a testament to the artist's skill and the versatility of street-inspired art. As this piece demonstrates, the value of street pop art and graffiti artwork extends beyond the city's walls, finding a place within the collections of art lovers who appreciate the nuanced blend of rebellion, craftsmanship, and narrative depth that these genres offer.

Sashimi of Death Blotter Paper Archival Print by Skel Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 40 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Fugu Fish Meme Tarot Card Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Blotter paper artwork prints are a unique form of art that involves transferring ink onto specially treated blotter paper. The resulting prints are often abstract and colorful, and can be used for a variety of decorative and artistic purposes. To create a blotter paper artwork print, the artist first prepares the blotter paper by treating it with chemicals that will enhance its absorbency and ability to hold ink or dye. Then, ink or dye is applied to the paper using various techniques, such as dripping, pouring, or spraying. The paper is left to dry, and the resulting print is then carefully removed from the blotter paper. Archival printing techniques are used to produce high-quality prints of the original artwork. This involves using high-quality inks and paper that are designed to last for a long time without fading or deteriorating. Archival prints are also resistant to moisture and sunlight, which helps to preserve the artwork for years to come. Blotter paper artwork prints can be a great addition to any home or office decor, and they are often used as a unique form of wall art. They are also popular among collectors and art enthusiasts, as each print is one-of-a-kind and can never be replicated exactly.

Adding to the authenticity and intricacy of the piece, each blotter is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, suggesting meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.

This 2012 one-of-a-kind pencil/graphite drawing is a testament to Hattori's skill in portraying complex, dream-like visions within a compact space.

This drawing stands apart from conventional urban art's execution and presentation. While street pop art and graffiti artwork are typically associated with large-scale, public displays, Hattori's "Catalyst" invites a more personal interaction. The piece is imbued with the intricacies of fine art while resonating with the accessibility and visceral impact often found in street art. Hattori's work does not scream from the walls; instead, it whispers, drawing the viewer into a one-on-one dialogue with the art.

Each stroke and shadow in the drawing contributes to an overall sense of depth and dimension, breathing life into the fantastical subject. The creature depicted combines familiar elements with the enigmatic, challenging the viewer's perception of reality. The intimate size of the image, contrasting with the more substantial frame, emphasizes the artwork's precious nature, akin to a relic or a talisman. This sense of preciousness is often sought in street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the transient nature of the medium contrasts sharply with the desire to create something lasting and impactful. Hattori's "Catalyst," while not a typical street art piece, captures the essence of what many street artists strive for—an enduring connection with the audience.

Trippinfrog Artwork Giclee Limited Edition Surreal Print on 100% Cotton Rag Fine Art Paper in Bronzed Frame by Pop Culture Graffiti Artist Naoto Hattori. 2014 Signed by Naoto Hattori & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 6x8 in Bronzed Frame Size 8x10. Exploring the Surreal World of Naoto Hattori's Trippinfrog Artwork The sphere of contemporary art is continuously evolving, merging various genres and forms to create new expressions that challenge and delight the senses. In this rich tapestry, Naoto Hattori stands out as a pop culture graffiti artist whose work infuses the fantastical elements of surrealism with the vibrant, rebellious energy of street pop art and graffiti artwork. One of Hattori's remarkable creations is the 'Trippinfrog' artwork, a giclee limited edition print that has captivated audiences with its intricate detail, imaginative composition, and striking aesthetic. This piece is more than just a visual treat; it's an expedition into a dream-like dimension where the conventional rules of nature and physics do not apply. Released in 2014, the 'Trippinfrog' limited edition is a testament to Hattori's mastery of his medium and ability to translate the subconscious into a tangible form. Each of the fifty prints in this limited series is signed by Naoto Hattori, adding a personal touch that collectors and admirers of street pop art cherish. The artwork size, at 6x8 inches, is modest, yet it packs a profound visual punch that draws the viewer in for a closer look. In contrast, the bronzed frame size of 8x10 inches complements and contains the artwork without overshadowing its complexity. The limited edition prints are produced on 100% cotton rag fine art paper, a material choice that speaks volumes about the quality and durability of the work. This type of paper is revered for its ability to hold color and detail, ensuring that each nuance of Hattori's vision is preserved. The use of a bronzed frame further enriches the viewing experience, adding a classic touch that contrasts with the modern, avant-garde nature of the artwork itself. The Signature Style of Naoto Hattori Naoto Hattori's style is a unique blend that straddles the line between the whimsical and the grotesque, a hallmark of his artistic vision. 'Trippinfrog' is a prime example of this, where the surreal and the real collide in a dance of colors, shapes, and forms. The artwork features an amalgamation of elements — eyes, tentacles, and amorphous shapes — all spiraling out of a central, frog-like creature that seems disintegrating and coming together simultaneously. This paradoxical imagery is a staple of street pop art and graffiti artwork, where the unexpected becomes the norm, and viewers are encouraged to interpret the pieces through their lenses. The colors Hattori chose are at once earthy and ethereal, creating a mesmerizing contrast. The background of the 'Trippinfrog' evokes a serene landscape, a stark juxtaposition to the chaos that the central figure embodies. This duality might be seen as a commentary on the nature of existence — harmonious and chaotic, orderly and unpredictable. Hattori's work challenges the viewer to consider these dualities not as opposites but complements. The Cultural Impact of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork Artworks such as 'Trippinfrog' are essential pieces in the narrative of street pop art and graffiti artwork, genres that have gained significant momentum and recognition in the art world. These art forms are rooted in the expression of cultural identity, social commentary, and a desire to break away from traditional modes of art presentation. They are often seen on public walls, in galleries, and as part of private collections, representing a voice for the unheard and a canvas for the disenfranchised. Naoto Hattori's work, particularly 'Trippinfrog,' fits perfectly within this narrative. It provides a visual escape and an introspective journey for those who engage with it. The limited edition nature of the print makes it an exclusive artifact of contemporary street pop art and graffiti artwork, allowing it to serve as a cultural touchstone for this moment in art history. Collectors and enthusiasts of Hattori's work are not only obtaining a piece of art; they are preserving a fragment of the cultural zeitgeist. The 'Trippinfrog' artwork by Naoto Hattori is a captivating piece that stands as a testament to the innovative and transformative power of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Its limited edition status on fine art paper, the artist's signature, and its presentation in a bronzed frame all contribute to its desirability and significance. Hattori's ability to weave the surreal with the street, the dream-like with the tangible, places 'Trippinfrog' among the notable works that continue to shape and inspire the trajectory of modern art.
