DEATH NYC Snoopy Moon Louis Vuitton Space Art Signed Ltd Ed Print w/COA — Collector Guide, Value & Authentication

When luxury logomania collides with cosmic romance, only Death NYC would dare send Snoopy to the moon. This is not a gimmick. It is a precise cultural argument — a hand-signed, limited edition print that weaponizes two of the most recognizable iconographies on the planet and aims them at the stars. Snoopy clutches wildflowers on the lunar surface. Louis Vuitton monograms detonate across deep space in electric pink and cobalt. Metallic inks pulse against the void. The result is one of the most tender, disarming heists in contemporary street art.

Death NYC has built its reputation on exactly this kind of cultural collision — taking images that corporations and licensing houses guard ferociously, and asking what happens when you let them loose in the cosmos together. This Snoopy Moon Louis Vuitton print is a masterclass in that practice.

What This Print Depicts

The composition plants Snoopy — Charles Schulz's eternally optimistic, daydreaming beagle — directly on the moon's cratered gray surface. He holds a loose bouquet of wildflowers, posture patient and unhurried, as though he has been waiting here long before anyone thought to look. It is an image of pure longing rendered in the visual language of children's cartoons, but the backdrop transforms it entirely.

Above Snoopy, Death NYC detonates the Louis Vuitton monogram constellation: electric pink LV logos, cobalt four-point stars, lime green accents rippling outward like a luxury brand's fever dream of the cosmos. The LV monogram — invented by Georges Vuitton in 1896 as an anti-counterfeiting device — here becomes the universe itself, infinite and inescapable. The irony is precise. A symbol designed to assert authenticity floats freely above a figure famous for imagining himself as a World War I flying ace, a literary novelist, an astronaut. Snoopy has always lived in his own mythology. Death NYC simply gave him the right backdrop.

The use of metallic inks adds physical weight to the image. Catch the print in raking light and the monogram field shimmers. The flowers Snoopy holds seem to absorb the lunar quiet. It is street art that rewards close looking — which is the whole point.

Death NYC operates from New York and has become one of the most collected anonymous street art practices in the world, standing alongside Banksy and Mr. Brainwash in the pop-art-meets-subversion lineage. Where Banksy uses stencils to interrogate power, Death NYC uses luxury iconography to interrogate aspiration itself. The Snoopy Moon Louis Vuitton print asks: what are we really worshipping when we buy a monogram bag? And then it answers with a beagle holding flowers, which is the only honest answer.

Authentication

Every Death NYC Snoopy Moon Louis Vuitton print sold through Gauntlet Gallery comes with a gold-embossed Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Authentication is not a paperwork formality here — it is the structural spine of the work's value.

Key authentication markers to verify on any Death NYC limited edition print:

• Physical COA with raised gold embossing — the seal must be tactile, not flat-printed. Run a fingernail across it; a genuine COA has a raised surface you can feel. Flat or scanned-looking seals are a red flag.
• Hand signature by the artist — Death NYC signs each print individually. The signature appears on the front lower margin. Ink flow variation is visible under magnification; printed or stamped signatures are not acceptable.
• Edition numbering — Death NYC prints typically run in editions of 50 to 100 copies. The edition number (e.g., 23/75) is hand-written in pencil or ink on the print margin. Verify the number matches documentation provided with the work.
• Metallic ink quality — genuine Death NYC prints using metallic inks exhibit a luminous, multi-directional sheen. Offset reproductions typically flatten this effect to a uniform foil-look with no depth variation.

Retail price for this print is $100. Prints acquired at retail with matching COA and numbered edition documentation represent the lowest-risk entry point into the Death NYC market. Gauntlet Gallery has authenticated and sold Death NYC works since our founding in 2012 and applies the same rigorous provenance standards we use across our entire street art inventory.

Collector Value

Death NYC prints have demonstrated consistent secondary market appreciation when the subject matter hits the right cultural frequencies — and Snoopy paired with Louis Vuitton hits multiple frequencies simultaneously. Peanuts has a licensing valuation in the billions. Louis Vuitton is the flagship of the world's largest luxury conglomerate. Death NYC's best motifs combining two high-recognition brands have historically achieved 2x to 5x appreciation within 12 to 24 months of retail release, based on comparable sales tracked across auction records and gallery resale data.

Factors that drive Death NYC secondary market performance:

• Brand recognition of the subjects — prints pairing a universally beloved character (Snoopy ranks among the most recognized cartoon characters globally) with a luxury house (Louis Vuitton's monogram is one of the world's most replicated luxury symbols) command sustained collector interest across demographics.
• Edition size — editions of 50–100 are tight enough to create genuine scarcity while large enough to establish a real market. Works with smaller documented editions in this range appreciate faster when demand concentrates.
• Condition and provenance completeness — prints retained in original condition with original COA, unmounted and unframed, typically command premiums over works that have been altered, trimmed, or separated from documentation.
• Cultural moment timing — luxury streetwear crossover aesthetics remain a dominant force in contemporary collecting, with no signs of contraction. Death NYC sits precisely at the intersection of these markets.

Gauntlet Gallery has completed over 160,000 comparable sales across street art, pop art, and urban contemporary works since 2012. That transaction history gives our team direct visibility into which Death NYC motifs have moved at auction, which have stalled, and which have broken out. The Snoopy Moon Louis Vuitton print sits in the breakout category.

Collectors building positions in Death NYC should prioritize hand-signed numbered editions over open editions or unsigned prints. The COA is not optional — it is the difference between a collectible and a decoration.
