Target Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Luke Chueh. 2014 Signed on Box Limited Edition of 1000 Sculpture Artwork Size 6.5x10.5 New in Box. Comes with a removable brush and bucket. From Famous Luke Chueh Target Series Depicting a Bear Painting Target on the Chest Standing at a Firing Wall.  Luke Chueh’s “Target” Vinyl Art Toy: A Study in Vulnerability and Self-Perception Created in 2014 by acclaimed street pop and graffiti artist Luke Chueh, the “Target” vinyl art toy presents one of the artist’s most emotionally charged and visually symbolic designs. Issued as a limited edition of 1000, this sculpture captures the deeply personal and psychological tone that defines Chueh’s work. Standing at 6.5 by 10.5 inches, the figure is accompanied by a display wall riddled with bullet holes, a small bucket of black paint, and a removable brush held by the bear character itself. On the figure’s chest is a freshly painted target, an image that communicates complex ideas of self-sabotage, exposure, and emotional conflict. Signed on the box and rendered with stark simplicity, the piece transforms a stylized bear into a powerful statement on psychological torment wrapped in innocent aesthetics. Symbolism and the Language of Self-Inflicted Pressure In “Target,” Luke Chueh employs his signature visual language of minimalism and narrative design to evoke feelings of isolation and vulnerability. The white bear, often used in his broader body of work, represents a surrogate for internal emotions—emotionally vacant on the surface but charged with meaning through posture and surrounding context. The target on its chest is not placed by an outside force but rather painted by the bear itself, symbolizing the voluntary exposure to judgment, pain, or blame. The nearby paint bucket reinforces the conscious act of making oneself a subject, whether for criticism, emotional attack, or misunderstanding. This self-imposed act turns the sculpture into a moment frozen between aggression and acceptance, a duality frequently explored in Chueh’s graffiti-influenced street pop art. Pop Minimalism Rooted in Street Culture While many works in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork celebrate rebellion and public expression, Chueh takes a more introspective route. “Target” reflects the internal consequences of living in a world that often externalizes suffering. His use of toy-like aesthetics—soft curves, matte finish, and gentle expressions—stands in sharp contrast to the wall’s bullet holes and the symbolic nature of a target chest. The piece serves both as an art toy and a fine art sculpture, drawing collectors who resonate with the merging of narrative and form. The emotional weight embedded in the clean, modern silhouette aligns closely with the urban art world’s deeper themes of identity, trauma, and the search for meaning. Legacy and Collectibility of the Target Series “Target” became one of Luke Chueh’s most recognized and widely discussed sculptures, extending the legacy of his broader Target Series into the realm of tangible art objects. Each element of the toy—the red-tipped brush, the dripping black paint, the detailed concrete-style backdrop—has been carefully constructed to support the narrative of self-awareness and psychological struggle. The decision to equip the bear with tools of its own torment makes the figure an artifact of choice rather than victimization, a recurring thread in Chueh’s body of work. With its limited run of 1000 pieces and signature packaging, the “Target” figure has gained strong collector value and stands as a defining contribution to contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork.

Target Red King HPM SDCC 12 Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Luke Chueh. 2012 Signed with Unique HPM San Diego Comic Con 2012 SDCC Exclusive Hand-Embellished Hand Drawn Image & Text "Shoot to Kill" Limited Edition of 250 (A Select Amount HPM with Hand Drawn Unique Drawings on Wall) Sculpture Artwork Size 6.5x10.5 New in Box. Comes with a removable brush and bucket. From Famous Luke Chueh Target Series Depicting a Bear Painting Target on the Chest Standing at a Hand Drawn Firing Wall with Red Target and Paint Bucket. Target Red HPM SDCC 2012 Limited Edition by Luke Chueh The 2012 Target Red HPM SDCC Limited Edition vinyl sculpture by Luke Chueh stands as a pivotal example of how emotionally resonant themes can be rendered through collectible art. Released as an exclusive for San Diego Comic Con in 2012, this hand-embellished edition of the Target series was produced by Munky King and remains one of the most sought-after releases in Chueh’s career. The artwork is based on his iconic painting which portrays a solitary bear marking himself with a target, standing in front of a bullet-riddled execution wall. This sculpture not only captures the essence of self-awareness and vulnerability but adds a raw layer through its physical dimensionality and hand-drawn elements unique to each piece. Hand-Embellished Detail and Signature Themes This particular Target figure, sized at 6.5 by 10.5 inches, is presented new in its box and includes removable accessories: a brush and a paint bucket. It is housed in molded packaging that mimics the stone wall backdrop of the original painting. What sets this SDCC 2012 edition apart from standard Target releases is the hand-drawn embellishment on the back panel. In this HPM version, Luke Chueh drew a bear with a crown and his own signature on the firing wall, using bullet hole placement to enhance the sense of mortality and critique. Some versions feature additional phrases like shoot to kill, injecting a powerful sense of danger and societal commentary. The red target on the bear’s chest, hand-painted to appear freshly applied, stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding destruction. Luke Chueh’s Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Legacy Luke Chueh, a Los Angeles-based street pop art and graffiti artwork practitioner, has established a reputation for using minimalist figures and iconic bear characters to explore deeply psychological themes. His work merges pop surrealism with street sensibilities and draws heavily from his own personal experiences. Often cast in muted palettes, Chueh’s figures are vehicles for exploring alienation, depression, and self-destruction. In the Target Red HPM SDCC edition, he compresses the full weight of such emotions into a single moment of performative vulnerability—his bear choosing to mark itself for destruction, while standing against a wall already pockmarked with history. The use of humor, darkness, and childlike iconography invites audiences into a disarming confrontation with deeper truths. Collectibility and Cultural Commentary Limited to just 250 pieces, with only a select portion containing original hand-drawn details, the Target Red HPM SDCC figure remains a grail item for serious collectors of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Each sculpture captures a static yet emotionally turbulent moment that mirrors larger cultural critiques—on violence, societal pressures, and identity in the age of hyper-visibility. The fact that it debuted at San Diego Comic Con speaks to Chueh’s roots in pop culture and his ability to subvert it from within. This edition not only symbolizes the convergence of art toy culture and fine art, but it underscores Luke Chueh’s place as one of the most conceptually driven artists working in designer toys and modern narrative art.

Target Black & Gold Red Wall Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Luke Chueh. 2013 Signed on Box Limited Edition of 500 Sculpture Artwork Size 6.5x10.5 New in Box. Comes with a removable brush and bucket. From Famous Luke ChuehTarget Series Depicting a Bear Painting Target on the Chest Standing at a Red Firing Wall with Gold Target and Paint Bucket. Luke Chueh’s Target Black & Gold with Red Wall: A Bold Variation in Symbolic Street Pop Sculpture Released in 2013 as a limited edition of 500, the Target Black & Gold with Red Wall vinyl art toy by street pop and graffiti artist Luke Chueh introduces a dramatic reimagining of his widely recognized Target sculpture. Measuring 6.5 by 10.5 inches and packaged in a striking collector’s box signed by the artist, this edition retains the central visual theme of Chueh’s emotionally loaded bear while elevating the tension through color and material contrast. Here, the white figure is transformed into a matte black form, marked by a freshly painted gold bullseye. The bear stands against a blood-red brick wall punctuated with bullet damage, enhancing the narrative of self-imposed exposure and existential vulnerability. Redefined Aesthetics and Emotional Symbolism This version of Target amplifies the psychological themes that recur throughout Luke Chueh’s work—pain, isolation, and dark introspection presented through the disarming visual language of toy-like characters. The matte black bear, stripped of facial emotion, applies a gold target to its own chest with a removable red-handled brush, as a bucket of gold paint rests near its feet. The setting, a distressed red brick wall riddled with bullet holes, starkly contrasts the elegance of the gold against the brutality of its backdrop. Rather than suggesting chaos from an external force, the figure actively participates in its own targeting. This gesture speaks to cycles of shame, emotional self-destruction, and the absurdity of accepting suffering as identity. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in Three Dimensions The Target Black & Gold edition functions not only as a collectible vinyl art toy but also as a fine art object firmly rooted in street culture. Its clean, minimal character design channels modern pop aesthetics, while the bullet-pocked red wall and graffiti-inspired markings pay homage to the grittier textures of urban environments. Chueh bridges psychological depth and consumer culture with careful consideration of narrative, tone, and symbolism. Each element of the sculptural tableau is intentional, from the choice of a rich gold tone to the blood-red backdrop, framing the figure’s quiet act of defiance in a space of confrontation. Edition Significance and Collector Impact The black and gold Target with red wall remains one of the most sought-after variants in Luke Chueh’s sculpture portfolio, drawing attention from both contemporary art collectors and street art enthusiasts. Its combination of limited edition rarity, conceptual richness, and meticulously crafted presentation ensures its place within the upper echelon of modern Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. By reducing his bear figure to the essence of expression through posture and context, Chueh achieves an emotional resonance that transcends traditional toy sculpture. This piece not only completes the narrative arc of the original Target series but reinvents its language through color, form, and raw visual poetry.

Comes with a removable brush and bucket. From Famous Luke Chueh Target Series Depicting a Bear Painting Target on the Chest Standing at a Hand Drawn Firing Wall with Black Target and Paint Bucket. Luke Chueh’s Target Black HPM Shoot To Kill Luke Chueh’s Target Black HPM Shoot To Kill stands as a hauntingly reflective and sharply executed vinyl art sculpture from one of the most compelling voices in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2012 in a limited edition of 250 pieces, this figure comes from the renowned Target series. A selected number of these editions were hand-embellished with the artist’s signature dark humor and symbolic punch, featuring custom illustrations and text hand-drawn on the firing wall base behind the bear figure. This particular version includes the phrase “Shoot To Kill” written across the shattered backdrop, drawing a chilling contrast between innocence and violence. Visual Symbolism and Artistic Elements This 6.5 x 10.5 inch sculpture captures the essence of Chueh’s narrative style. A solemn white bear stands calmly, clutching a paintbrush and a red bucket while proudly displaying a freshly painted black target on its chest. Behind it, a fragmented concrete wall is peppered with bullet holes and adorned with a childlike drawing of the bear itself, eyes wide open, surrounded by damage. The words “Shoot To Kill” amplify the work’s confrontation with themes of vulnerability, targeting, and emotional exposure. Each component of the sculpture, from the character’s blank expression to the gritty base and graffiti-style marks, pushes the viewer to question where sympathy ends and complicity begins in a world desensitized to harm. Collectible Rarity and Conceptual Weight Produced by Munky King, this Target Black HPM version is not only limited in number but also customized, making it a valuable piece for collectors of contemporary vinyl and street pop culture art. The addition of hand-drawn embellishments directly onto the backdrop elevates this from a production piece to a hybrid of toy and original artwork. It sits at the intersection of narrative storytelling and conceptual critique. The packaging itself reinforces the piece’s gravity, with the original painting reproduced on the box and a molded insert that perfectly cradles the figure, brush, and paint can. Impact on Contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Luke Chueh, an American artist known for exploring personal trauma and dark satire through minimalist, anthropomorphic characters, continuously blends pop iconography with raw human experiences. In this sculpture, he manipulates the cuteness of a cartoon bear and inserts it into a context of conflict and emotional volatility. The result is a poignant visual metaphor: self-inflicted exposure, where the artist literally becomes the target. Target Black HPM Shoot To Kill is not just a collectible. It is a statement about how pain is projected, how identity is marked, and how art reflects the raw discomfort of modern living with stunning simplicity and confrontational honesty.

Target Red King #2 HPM SDCC 12 Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Luke Chueh. 2012 Signed with Unique HPM San Diego Comic Con 2012 SDCC Exclusive Hand-Embellished Hand Drawn Image & Text "Shoot to Kill" Limited Edition of 250 (A Select Amount HPM with Hand Drawn Unique Drawings on Wall) Sculpture Artwork Size 6.5x10.5 New in Box. Comes with a removable brush and bucket. From Famous Luke Chueh Target Series Depicting a Bear Painting Target on the Chest Standing at a Hand Drawn Firing Wall with Red Target and Paint Bucket. Target Red King #2 HPM SDCC 12 Vinyl Art Toy by Luke Chueh Luke Chueh’s Target Red King #2 HPM SDCC 12 vinyl art toy stands out as one of the most emotionally evocative and conceptually striking releases in the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork category. Released in 2012 as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive and produced by Munky King, this limited edition figure is part of a larger series based on Chueh’s original Target painting. This particular version, hand-embellished with the artist’s own unique illustration on the firing wall, encapsulates Chueh’s deeply introspective themes through a sculptural medium that resonates with collectors, critics, and fans of dark, conceptual pop art. This figure is a continuation of Chueh’s exploration of vulnerability, self-awareness, and the relationship between creator and subject. Design, Details, and Physical Structure This collectible measures 6.5 x 10.5 inches and is crafted in vinyl with a mixed-media sculptural base. The figure depicts Chueh’s iconic bear character, rendered in a minimalist palette, painting a blood-red concentric target over its own chest while standing in front of a cracked wall riddled with bullet holes. The backdrop serves as a sculptural representation of vulnerability, punctuated with a bold hand-drawn bear head and crown motif signed by Luke Chueh. This version, known as Red King #2, is part of a select sub-edition of the original run of 250, featuring individually hand-drawn graffiti-style customizations on the wall base, turning each one into a distinct piece of hand-painted art. The inclusion of the removable brush and bucket gives the figure a tragic sense of complicity—blurring the line between empowerment and self-destruction. Conceptual Narrative and Symbolism Target is not merely a title; it is a statement about identity and visibility. By painting the target on its own body, the character becomes both artist and object, aggressor and victim. The wall behind it, resembling an urban execution backdrop, intensifies the piece’s tension. With this Red King edition, the additional crown scrawled above the bear adds a layer of sovereignty or martyrdom—elevating the character to a symbol of sacrifice. This duality has long been a hallmark of Luke Chueh’s work, combining cute and tragic elements into a surreal pop art narrative that reflects his ongoing commentary on anxiety, depression, self-image, and the burdens of self-expression. Legacy in Contemporary Urban Art Luke Chueh, born in the United States in 1973, is a pivotal figure in the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork movement. His use of simplified, iconic characters and a muted color palette enables him to channel raw emotion through clean lines and impactful staging. Munky King’s collaboration with Chueh on the Target series represents one of the most successful translations of gallery-oriented character art into three-dimensional collectibles. Each edition, especially rare variants like Red King #2, carries with it the emotional depth and visual simplicity that Chueh has cultivated across mediums. The SDCC exclusive aspect of this release only enhances its rarity and desirability, cementing it as a significant artifact in the narrative of modern collectible sculpture.
