BFF (First Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
BFF is Hijack's 2024 giclee edition of 92, printed at 30 x 20 inches. The subject pairs childhood friendship with the artist's signature streetwise irony, rendered in the crisp, layered detail that giclee allows. Beyond the main run sit seven artist proofs and five unique variants, giving the release a small tier of one-off pieces atop the numbered edition.

Why It Matters
As one of Hijack's more recent releases, BFF shows the artist continuing to mine themes of innocence and connection while working in giclee rather than screen print. The three-tier structure of numbered edition, AP, and unique works reflects a maturing studio practice that rewards collectors seeking scarcity within a single title.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 92 makes standard prints the accessible entry point, while the 7 APs and 5 unique variants function as the coveted tier for collectors chasing rarity. Buyers should confirm which tier a given example belongs to, since the unique works carry a materially different profile from the numbered run.
Historical Context
Hijack, the son of an established street artist, emerged with stencil-driven work exploring youth, consumerism, and social commentary. BFF, dated 2024, sits among his later editions and reflects his ongoing turn toward giclee printing for images demanding fine tonal gradation over the flat color of screen print.
