The new art piece is made to resemble the look of a retro TV set that he originally showcased in a print medium for ART FOR CHANGE. This is a symbolism of how reality becomes distilled through this cartoon-like look. It nods to the many different [American subcultures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acidic-americana) including music, comic books, psychedelia, and much more. It is a limited-edition piece of work and comes in a special wooden collectors box. It is also signed and numbered by the artist, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with a strict two-year lock-up period true to AllRightsReserved.
