Limited-Edition Print by METS - Only five will ever be printed.
An unruly collision of wheatpaste and collage, reproduced as a 13 × 19-inch archival print by our resident ink-and-paper hooligans. Each print belongs to an exclusive edition of five...once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The Artwork
A gloriously unruly original collage by METS, captured in high resolution (not on the photocopier we use for our butts) and lovingly reproduced in our print lab.
Torn imagery, found textures and fragments of visual culture collide in a piece that feels weathered, unpredictable and strangely familiar. It could have been pulled from a city wall twenty years ago, or appeared there overnight.
Printed with pigment-based ink on brilliant-white Photo Matte 235 gsm paper. The archival-quality stock is acid- and lignin-free, helping the artwork retain its colour and character for years to come.
It’s a print your kids can enjoy or, at the very least, the next person who takes over your place after you shed your mortal coil.

Who the F#@! Is METS?
METS is an old-school graffiti artist, wheatpaster and master of collage. His work is built from bold lettering, torn imagery, found textures and fragments of visual culture collected from the world around him.
Moving between walls, paper and print, METS cuts, layers and rearranges familiar images until they tell a completely different story. Graffiti gives the work its attitude, wheatpaste gives it immediacy, and collage lets almost anything become part of the picture. The results feel weathered, unpredictable and strangely familiar, like something discovered on a city wall that may have been there for twenty years or appeared overnight.
Street lore says METS keeps a jar of retired spray-paint caps that have “lost their voice.” Whether that’s true depends entirely on which day you ask him.
