Rabbit A Frame by Blake Jones – Urban Whimsy on Reclaimed Canvas in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Rabbit A Frame is a 2020 original acrylic and spray paint artwork by American street pop artist Blake Jones, executed on a reclaimed road construction A-frame alert sign. Measuring 23.75 x 45.25 inches, this one-of-a-kind piece transforms functional street infrastructure into a playful and energetic canvas. Painted directly onto the iconic orange-and-white reflective barricade pattern, Jones’s unmistakable rabbit character peeks curiously from the lower corner of the signage, infusing humor and innocence into a symbol of civic caution. This unexpected collision of form and character is central to the practice of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where urban detritus becomes a site for creativity, subversion, and visual storytelling.
Recontextualizing Utility Through Character
The inclusion of the rabbit—a recurring figure in Blake Jones’s universe of cartoon expressions—anchors the work in his broader practice of using character design to evoke joy, curiosity, and absurdity. The wide eyes and rounded lines of the rabbit stand in stark contrast to the rigid geometry and utilitarian purpose of the A-frame construction sign. The artist has left visible stenciled type reading LYONS PINNER on the lower bar, enhancing the piece’s authenticity as a reclaimed object from real city infrastructure. This juxtaposition of municipal function and personal expression creates a layered narrative, where the rigid visual language of public signage is softened by animated wonder. Jones’s approach doesn’t erase the object’s past—it amplifies it through aesthetic intervention.
Medium, Surface, and Street Aesthetics
Blake Jones employs a combination of acrylic brushwork and aerosol application to achieve vibrant contrast and edge clarity on the reflective metal surface. The texture of the sign, complete with scratches, dents, and weathered paint, provides a gritty, tactile base that elevates the artwork’s physical presence. Each imperfection in the surface becomes part of the final composition, tying the piece back to the street. The use of road sign material reinforces the core ethos of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork—art made in, of, and for public space. The rabbit, rendered in bold turquoise with expressive black detailing, punctuates the sign with personality, reframing caution not as a warning, but as a playful greeting.
Blake Jones and the Art of Reclaiming Urban Narratives
Rabbit A Frame is more than just a clever object painting—it is a statement about how everyday materials can become carriers of joy, personality, and artistic transformation. Blake Jones continues to blur the line between street detritus and collectible art, using found materials as his platform for character-driven storytelling. His work reinserts humanity into spaces often ruled by standardization and silence. This piece invites viewers to see humor and imagination embedded in the fabric of their daily environment. As part of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, it stands as a vibrant reminder that art is not confined to canvas or gallery walls. It can live on the streets, on the signs we ignore, and in the characters that bring those spaces to life. Blake Jones reclaims these spaces with style, mischief, and undeniable charm.
