Tracey Emin "Teacup, Pancake" Cards Available

Artist: Tracey Emin
Title: Teacup, Pancake
Medium: 10 Gift Cards
Size: 15 x 15 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: £7

Tracey Emin, born in Croydon in 1963 and raised in Margate, is Britain’s most celebrated confessional artist, turning trauma into raw, urgent art across neon, paint, film, embroidery, and bronze. After abortive teenage years, she earned an MA from the Royal College of Art, joining the 1990s Young British Artists with works like the appliquéd tent Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963–1995 and the notorious Turner-nominated installation My Bed, which displayed stained sheets, vodka bottles, and cigarette butts from a suicidal breakdown, collapsing private despair into public spectacle. Scrawled love-letters in light You Forgot to Kiss My Soul and fragile monoprints of her own body extend the diary-like candor, merging feminist honesty with expressionist line.

Emin represented Britain at the 2007 Venice Biennale, became Royal Academician and Professor of Drawing, and was made a Dame in 2024. Major bronzes now stand outside the Oslo Munch Museum and London’s St Pancras station, transforming intimate gestures into civic monuments. Returning to Margate, she funds TKE Studios for emerging artists, ensuring the cycle of revelation continues.

___________________________

Mark Ryden, born January 20, 1963, in Medford, Oregon, is a seminal figure in the Pop Surrealism movement, often hailed as its godfather. After earning a BFA from Art Center College of Design in 1987, he spent a decade as a commercial artist, designing iconic album covers for Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

His 1998 solo debut, The Meat Show, launched a fine-art career famed for eerie, meticulous paintings that fuse Old Master technique with cartoon cuteness, Victorian kitsch, and spiritual symbols. Wide-eyed girls, skeletons, and slabs of meat recur beneath candy-colored glazes, inviting viewers into a dreamy, unsettling realm where innocence and decay coexist. Major retrospectives include Wondertoonel (2004) and Cámara de las Maravillas (2016), and in 2017 he designed sets and costumes for the American Ballet Theatre’s Whipped Cream. Ryden lives in Portland, Oregon, continuing to blur the boundaries between high art and pop culture.

Yoko Ono 'Sky Puddle' Sculpture Release Details

Title: Sky Puddle

Edition: 32 (UNIQUE)
Prices: $2,950

*available worldwide on Wednesday October 8th, 2025

__________________________ 

Yoko Ono, born 1933 in Tokyo, is a conceptual artist, musician, and peace activist whose quiet instructions have echoed loudly across avant garde art and pop culture for six decades. Trained in philosophy and music, she broke into New York’s early '60s scene with Instruction Paintings texts that asked viewers to "light a match and watch till it goes out" and Cut Piece, a 1964 performance where audience members snipped away her clothes, exposing vulnerability and power.
Her 1966 London show introduced her to John Lennon; their collaborations Bed-Ins, War Is Over! billboards married Fluxus wit to mass media reach, turning honeymoon into protest and pop songs into manifestos. Ono’s solo recordings pushed boundaries of voice and noise: Fly (1971) layers primal screams over proto-disco grooves, influencing punk and new wave feminists.
Dismissed by critics as “the woman who broke up the Beatles,” she persisted, amassing a discography of 20 studio albums, Grammy nominated dance remixes, and 18 Billboard No. 1 hits. Visual work evolved into site-specific Wish Trees, mirrored Sky installations, and the 2022 Imagine tower in Berlin, inviting public participation as both medium and message.
Honoured with Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion (2009), Ono continues to tweet daily haiku like aphorisms to millions. At 91 she remains the consummate catalyst: whispering imperatives Breathe, Dream, Remember that turn spectators into co-authors of art, love and revolution.

David Welker is a New York-based painter and illustrator celebrated for densely layered, narrative rich artwork that fuses Depression era surrealism, underground comix, surf culture and Ash-School realism into a single dreamlike vision. Born in Poughkeepsie in 1964, he studied at Syracuse University before building a gallery portfolio of large scale paintings, but his career pivoted decisively after catching Phish at Boston’s Paradise Club in 1989. A fan letter led to his 1993 oil-on-paper cover for the band’s album Rift, later voted one of the ten greatest album sleeves of all time by Relix
.
The collaboration opened the flood-gates to rock-poster commissions for Pearl Jam, The Black Keys, Primus, Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. Welker’s silk-screened gig prints hand lettered, packed with coded symbolism and pulsing colour became instant sellouts, traded feverishly on collector forums and selling out in minutes through Brooklyn’s Bottleneck Gallery, his primary print outlet.
From 2015 he shifted focus back to galleries, staging the 70-piece retrospective Subconscious Narrative at Hoerle-Guggenheim, Chelsea, and selling out booths at Art Basel, Spoke Art and Hashimoto Contemporary’s Art on Paper fair. Recent canvases still feature the same intricate linework and urban fantasy scenarios, but scale has grown; cityscapes melt into biomorphic mountains while tiny figures negotiate labyrinths of memory, music and politics.
Whether rendering a 50 inch phantasmagoric mural or a palm sized concert handbill, Welker treats every surface as a stage for his ongoing visual opera one where graffiti lettering, Rococo clouds and comic grotesques harmonise to remind viewers that reality is just another narrative waiting to be redrawn.

Clement Anthony Burke known universally as Clem Burke was the kinetic engine behind Blondie and one of the most versatile drummers to emerge from the 1970s New York scene. Born November 24, 1954, in Bayonne, New Jersey, he grew up across the river from Manhattan, bashing paradiddles in St. Andrew’s Drum & Bugle Corps before falling for Chuck Berry and Keith Moon. Answering a Village Voice ad in 1975, he joined Debbie Harry and Chris Stein’s fledgling band, bringing Moon-style showmanship stick twirls, kit leaping finales and the precision to surf any genre Blondie threw at him: punk, disco, reggae or hip-hop. His thunderous groove powers four U.S. No. 1s, including “Heart of Glass” and the first rap-topped chart hit, “Rapture”.
When Blondie split in 1982 Burke became rock’s ultimate utility drummer, recording and touring with Eurythmics, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Joan Jett and even two gigs as “Elvis Ramone” with the Ramones. He co-founded the Clem Burke Drumming Project in 2008, proving through sports-science tests that a drummer’s heart rate can match a Premier League footballer’s, research that earned him an honorary doctorate from the University of Gloucestershire. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Blondie in 2006, he continued to tour and record until a private cancer battle ended his run on April 6, 2025. Debbie Harry’s tribute called him “the heartbeat of Blondie,” a title that, for generations of fans, will keep time long after the sticks have fallen silent.

Anthony Clarkson 'Spoil The Mother' Print Available

Artist: Anthony Clarkson
Title: Spoil The Mother
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 20 x 29 Inches
Edition: 30
Prices: $75

 

Anthony Clarkson is a Los Angeles-based painter, illustrator and designer whose ghostly surrealism maps the fault-line between child-like innocence and adult disquiet. Born in 1978 and trained at the Colorado Institute of Art, he spent his early career as head graphic designer for a major record label, crafting hyper-real digital photo-manipulations for album covers that quickly appeared on releases across punk, metal and alternative rosters.
Weary of pixels, Clarkson began re-activating the sketch-book creatures of his youth, translating insomnia, heartbreak and suburban ennui into acrylic and oil paintings on wood panel. His imagery wide-eyed waifs, crumbling circus tents, wind-up ballerinas abandoned in overgrown gardens combines meticulous glazing with distressed surfaces so light seems to seep through cracks in the narrative.
Since his 2005 debut at Thinkspace, Los Angeles, he has exhibited in venues such as Gallery 1988, Copro/Nason and Cannibal Flower, and was tapped for curated tributes to Marvel Comics (hosted by Stan Lee) and Kevin Smith’s “Crazy for Cult” series. Vinyl-toy juggernaut MindStyle commissioned him to customise a 10-inch Stitch figure for Disney’s global Experiment 626 tour, cementing a crossover following that spans fine-art collectors and designer-toy hunters.
Whether rendering a melancholy carousel horse or a house swallowed by kudzu, Clarkson’s work invites viewers into what he calls “a theater of tragedy” a place where sweetness and sorrow share the same breath, and every cracked paint flake is a reminder that stories, like hearts, are beautiful when broken.

Peter Blake 'Marilyn Black' Print Available

Artist: Peter Blake
Title: Marilyn Black
Medium: Framed Diamond Dust Screen Print
Size: Framed 64 x 88 cm
Edition: 175
Prices: £5,240

Sir Peter Blake is one of Britain’s most celebrated and influential pop artists, renowned for his vibrant, collage-based works that merge fine art with popular culture. Born in Dartford, England, in 1932, Blake studied at the Royal College of Art, where he developed his distinctive style that would later define much of the British Pop Art movement.

Best known for co-designing The Beatles’ iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover in 1967, Blake’s work captures the energy, optimism, and visual language of post-war popular culture. His imagery draws from comic strips, advertisements, film stars, and music icons reframing them through a painterly and often nostalgic lens.

Throughout his career, Blake has worked across painting, collage, and printmaking, producing editions that blend Victorian aesthetics with contemporary pop iconography. On Murus.art, his pieces exemplify this playful yet meticulous approach: detailed collages that combine celebrity portraits, bold typography, and cultural ephemera into cohesive visual narratives.

Knighted in 2002 for his services to art, Blake has remained a central figure in British visual culture for over six decades. His influence spans generations bridging traditional craftsmanship with the immediacy of modern media.

Today, Sir Peter Blake continues to produce new works from his London studio, collaborating with galleries like Murus to make his art accessible to new audiences. His enduring legacy lies in his ability to turn the everyday into the extraordinary, celebrating the icons, imagery, and imagination of contemporary life.

Rob Stears 'Big City Bot, Limerick' Print Available

Artist: Rob Stears
Title: Big City Bot, Limerick
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 59.4 x 42 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: €65

Rob Stears is an Irish artist, illustrator, and cartoonist whose hand-drawn works are featured on Jam Art Factory’s platform. Known for his quirky, tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, Stears creates prints, greeting cards, and signed illustrations that straddle the line between whimsy and social commentary. Stears’ style tends to be minimal and playful: bold lines, simple palettes, and deliberate use of negative space. His illustrations often capture everyday moments, interpersonal quirks, or ironic observations about human behaviour. On his own site Rob has also produced custom illustrations that memorialize personal experiences couples, pets, travel scenes, and domestic vignettes with an expressive, intimate touch.

His association with Jam Art Factory has helped bring his work to a wider Irish audience. The Jam Art platform classifies his work under “Irish Artists” and features him under its “rob” tag for prints. They stock signed limited edition prints, including a series of Irish city landmarks making a shape of a robot for Dublin, Cork and Limerick each, which are offered both online and in their Dublin galleries. Jam Art’s social media often spotlights his releases, describing his output as ranging “from tongue in cheek to full on bizarre jokes and quips.” 

Beyond his commercial output, Stears seems to embrace a vision of art that is personal and conversational—works designed to provoke a smile, stir a thought, or resonate through shared daily experiences. If you like, I can dig up a gallery of his recent works or highlight a few standout pieces.
