No Posts, No Bills (24 x 36 Paper)

Work Summary & Collector Notes

A 2021 silkscreen on archival paper at 24 x 36 inches, editioned at 70 with 7 APs. The title riffs on the ubiquitous 'Post No Bills' signage of urban walls, flipping street-poster culture into gallery-ready pop and grounding the work in Mr Brainwash's origins amid graffiti and flyposting.

Collector notes: Edition of 70 plus a separately stated artist's-proof edition of 7. Edition-specific signature, numbering, thumbprint, and certificate details were not stated in the saved release record.

Why It Matters

The subject matter directly references the street-poster world Mr Brainwash came from, making this one of his more overtly street-art-rooted editions. At 70 impressions it is among the tighter paper runs in this group, and the horizontal-leaning 24 x 36 format gives it a poster-like scale appropriate to its wall-culture theme.

Collector Perspective

Collectors drawn to the graffiti-and-flyposting lineage of the artist's story favor this piece for its thematic authenticity. The comparatively small edition of 70 supports its collectibility. A canvas version at 20 x 32 also exists, so buyers should confirm which substrate they are acquiring and inspect the paper edition's margins and surface.

Historical Context

'Post No Bills' notices are a fixture of city walls that street artists have long defied and appropriated. By turning that phrase into an edition, Mr Brainwash nods to the flyposting culture from which his own aesthetic grew, connecting the gallery print back to the sanctioned-versus-unsanctioned tension at the heart of street art.
