Green Mister Melty Icon Painted HPM Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Buff Monster
The Green Mister Melty Icon Painted HPM Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Buff Monster captures the energetic essence of modern Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Released in 2023 as part of a numbered limited edition of only 50 prints, this piece stands out not only for its vivid design but also for its hybrid execution that merges silkscreen precision with raw hand-painted embellishments. Buff Monster’s approach continues to blur the boundaries between collectible design and fine art by infusing accessible formats with labor-intensive customizations. Each 9x12 inch print is individually touched by the artist, turning every edition into a unique object of visual delight.
A Character Icon Evolved Into Canvas
The print features Buff Monster’s iconic Mister Melty character reimagined with a bold, central composition. A single oversized eye commands attention from the middle of the page, framed inside thick black borders that give the impression of an expressive digital emoji turned physical. The character’s gooey surface is amplified with streaks, splatters, and thick drips of white and green acrylic paint, resulting in an effect that is part horror cartoon and part sticky psychedelic dream. The hand-painted marks on every print add motion, variance, and human imperfection to a template grounded in graphic repetition, making each print feel spontaneous and unfiltered despite its uniform base.
Fusion of Screen Print and Acrylic Hand Detailing
Created on card stock fine art paper, the silkscreen foundation provides a bold, flat application of colors with dense blacks that define Mister Melty’s signature contour. Over this structured design, Buff Monster applied heavy hand-painted drips and splashes in a fluorescent palette, giving the artwork a tactile and almost sculptural quality. This hand-painted modification, known as HPM or Hand-Painted Multiple, elevates the piece beyond traditional screen printing and into the realm of individualized contemporary art. No two versions of the edition are identical, which reinforces the street art ethos of impermanence and expression over replication.
Buff Monster’s Artistic Universe and Urban Influence
Buff Monster, based in the United States, is widely recognized for building a visual language that merges 1980s pop aesthetics with street art strategies. His world is filled with melting monsters, neon colors, ice cream motifs, and playful grotesquery. Mister Melty, a recurring figure in his works, encapsulates his approach to character-driven design with a twist of surrealism. This particular green edition reinforces Buff Monster’s tendency to explore new colorways and contexts for familiar icons, ensuring his work remains both cohesive and experimental. As part of his 2023 body of work, this Green Mister Melty HPM print carries forward his exploration of character iconography while enhancing its artistic value through hand-executed texture and spontaneous drips that echo graffiti’s raw sensibility. For collectors of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this print is both a celebration of Buff Monster’s visual identity and a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind painting disguised as a print.
