Ryosuke Tei 'Mummy Bunny #6' Original Available

Artist: Ryosuke Tei
Title: Mummy Bunny #6
Medium: Glitter + Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 60.6 x 72.7 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: $2,130

 

Ryosuke Tei is a prominent Japanese artist and character designer known for fusing character culture with street and pop art aesthetics. Born in Kobe as Hana Hashi III, his artistic path was significantly impacted by personal hardship. After graduating from Tama Art University with a major in oil painting, he put his art career on hold following the loss of his family home in the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake, transitioning to graphic design for video games. This design background has heavily influenced his current artistic style, which he describes as character building.
In the late 1990s, Tei launched Frickly Company, working internationally in character and graphic design, before establishing Okosamaster Inc. in 2011. During his commercial career, he collaborated with major global brands such as Nintendo, Bandai, and Benesse.
In 2022, Tei shifted his primary focus from design to fine art, bringing his well-honed commercial character-design skills to the contemporary art world. His works are instantly recognizable, often featuring original characters painted in vibrant acrylics with glitter accents, exploring themes of life, regeneration, and hope. His recent series, such as "Scars of Light," draws from his personal experience with cancer, using characters with heartfelt smiles to transform scars from something to hide into "places where light shines in".
Tei's work has been featured in solo exhibitions and major art fairs globally, including solo shows in Kobe and Taichung, and appearances at ART TAIPEI.

Mau Mau 'Outta Space' HMPs Available

Artist: Mau Mau
Title: Outta Space
Medium: Aerosol on Paper
Size: 13.5 x 30 cm
Edition: 50
Price: £100

  

Mau Mau is a renowned British urban graffiti and print artist who has cultivated a significant international following over more than two decades with his humorous, politically charged, and environmentally conscious work. Hailing from the surf and country environment of the North Devon coast, his style is unique, blending a "rural sophistication" with a rebellious urban edge. He got his name during a trip to Ghana in the early 1990s, when Rastafarians at the Twelve Tribes temple couldn't pronounce his birth name, Mark. They started calling him "Mau Mau," and the nickname stuck. 
His art often features a trademark character, a mischievous and fun-loving fox, which serves as a neutral yet potent vehicle for sharp social commentary on issues like corporate greed, political corruption, and environmental degradation. Mau Mau began his artistic journey designing graphics for the surf and skate brand Sewerside, co-owned from 1995 to 2001, before fully embracing street art to reach a wider audience beyond the gallery setting.
His street art can be found globally, appearing on city walls, billboards, shipwrecks, and surfboards across the UK, America, Jamaica, Thailand, and Australia. A notable piece, "Olympic Takeaway," which parodied the Olympics with a McDonald's clown, generated significant controversy, reflecting his desire to challenge viewers' perceptions of the world around them.
Beyond street art, Mau Mau has collaborated with various high-profile environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Surfers Against Sewage, and created art for the Glastonbury Festival and record labels like Ninja Tune. His work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, and a book of his work, Talking Out of My Art, chronicles his artistic journey and counter-cultural themes.

David Welker 'The Dragons Lair' Print Release Details

Artist: David Welker
Title: The Dragon's Lair
Medium: Screen Print
Size: 14 x 20 Inches
Edition: 100
Price: $100

 

*available at 1pm EST on Thursday November 13th, 2025

David Welker is an American painter, muralist and printmaker born in 1964 in Poughkeepsie, New York. He studied painting and illustration at Syracuse University and has built a career blending fine-art technique with rock-and-roll energy. His elaborate gig posters for bands such as Phish, Pearl Jam, The Black Keys and Primus have become collector items, while his 1993 cover for Phish’s album Rift was listed among the ten best album covers of all time by Relix magazine.
Welker’s visual language fuses Depression-era surrealism, underground comix, Westcoast surf culture and early 20th century Ashcan School realism. Working almost entirely by hand, he layers ink, graphite and acrylic to create dense narratives packed with symbolic figures, distorted architecture and his own ornate lettering that marries 19th century sign typography with modern graffiti flair. Each piece begins as loose thumbnail sketches; colour separations are drawn manually rather than computer-generated, ensuring every print bears the subtle irregularities of craft.
Beyond concert art, Welker has spent decades on private mural commissions, once specializing in Chinoiserie wall paintings for luxury residences, an experience he credits with sharpening his technical range while teaching him that legacy matters more than lavish settings. Now focused on gallery work, he continues to explore subconscious storytelling, producing large canvases where urban realism dissolves into dreamlike fantasy and where beauty is, in his words, “beautiful when it’s based in honest emotion and conveyed with appropriate discipline.” Whether painting a rooftop mural in New York or pulling a limited screen print, Welker invites viewers to lose themselves in intricate worlds that pulse with music, memory and the restless spirit of American popular culture.

Amber Butler 'Lose Yourself' Print Available

Artist: Amber Butler
Title: Lose Yourself
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 42 x 59 cm
Edition: 100
Price: £45

 

Amber Butler is a British printmaker who turns everyday observations into quietly powerful screen printed statements. Based in Margate, she works from a small studio overlooking the tidal pool, collecting fragments of beach conversations, faded seaside signage and the pastel haze of sunset skies. These elements feed compositions that celebrate the ordinary while hinting at something stranger beneath.
Working primarily with water based inks, Butler builds layers of translucent colour on recycled cotton paper, allowing each pull to overlap and shift slightly off register. The result is a soft, dreamlike vibration where lilac bleeds into peach and seafoam green floats above rust orange, echoing the way memory blurs detail yet intensifies mood. Motifs recur: empty deckchairs, half read postcards, lone gulls perched on wind bent railings, all rendered with minimal line work that leaves space for the viewer to finish the story.
Her editions are small, rarely exceeding forty, and each sheet is hand titled and signed on the reverse, reinforcing the intimate nature of the work. Recent collections have sold through People of Print, while commissions have personalised wedding invitations, boutique hotel wallpapers and the interior of a converted ice-cream van now serving coffee along the promenade.
When she is not printing, Butler leads community workshops, teaching newcomers to mix colour, cut paper stencils and discover the pleasure of imperfect registration. Through every layer of ink she offers a gentle reminder: beauty is not always dramatic; sometimes it lives in the faded paint of a beach hut door or the echo of laughter carried on salt wind, waiting for someone to notice and press it gently into paper.

Ricky Byrne was born in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1983 and grew up between the Atlantic surf and the flat topped silhouette of Table Mountain. That coastal light and urban edge still feed the abstract cityscapes and seascapes he now paints from his studio in Woodstock, a district where Victorian warehouses rub shoulders with street art and weekend food markets. Byrne trained as a graphic designer at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, a discipline that taught him to reduce complex scenes to essential shapes and bold colour relationships, skills he now applies to fine art with oil, acrylic and aerosol on canvas, wood and reclaimed billboard paper.
His process begins with photographs taken during dawn walks along the promenade or twilight drives through the city bowl. Back in the studio he distils these images into interlocking planes of ultramarine, cadmium orange, titanium white and raw umber, allowing drips and spray mist to remain as evidence of speed and movement. Horizon lines tilt, shadows slide across facades and waves crest in simplified curves that suggest sound and spray without describing every ripple. The result is a body of work that feels simultaneously familiar and dreamlike, a memory of a place rather than a map of it.
Exhibitions at the Lovell Gallery in Cape Town, group shows in Johannesburg and art fairs along the Garden Route have met strong sales, while international collectors visiting the city often leave with rolled canvases tucked under their arms. Despite growing demand, Byrne continues to surf at sunrise, sketch on restaurant napkins and donate prints to local charity auctions, believing that creativity should remain as fluid as the tides that shape his hometown.

Jerome Masi 'Look On The Bright Side' Print Available

Artist: Jerome Masi
Title: Look On The Broght Side (Fluorescent Red)
Medium: 1 Color Screen Print
Size: 3x (A5) 14.8 x 21 cm Each
Edition: UNSURE
Price: €75

 

Jerome Masi is a French painter and printmaker whose bold, reductive style turns complex ideas into instantly readable images. Born in 1970 and raised in the Alpine city of Grenoble, he studied graphic arts before moving to Paris, where advertising posters, metro tiles and punk flyers taught him that a single shape can carry emotional weight. Working primarily with acrylic and screen print, he builds compositions from flat colour blocks and crisp silhouettes, often limiting himself to three hues so that every line must justify its existence.
His process is both methodical and intuitive. Masi begins with loose charcoal sketches, refining forms until a figure, animal or object emerges with the clarity of a road sign. He then cuts rubylith stencils by hand, preserving the small imperfections that reveal the artist’s touch. Layers of ink are pushed through mesh onto handmade paper or raw canvas, creating surfaces that hum with saturated reds, cobalt blues and sunflower yellows. Negative space plays a crucial role; untouched areas become light, wind or sound, inviting viewers to complete the story.
Recent series explore memory and migration, presenting solitary travellers wrapped in geometric cloaks that echo both safety blankets and national flags. Exhibitions at Galerie Issue in Paris, group shows in Berlin and art fairs across Europe have sold out, while commercial commissions have brightened hospital corridors and independent magazines alike.
Whether printing a pocket sized poster or painting a three metre canvas, Masi seeks the fragile moment when simplicity reveals complexity, proving that elegance born from restraint can speak across languages and cultures.
