Kissing Booth
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Kissing Booth is a 2023 twelve-color silkscreen in an edition of 50, printed at 22 x 30 inches. The dense color separations point to an ambitious print, complemented by 5 artist proofs, a framed canvas edition of 4, and a run of 5 wood-cut sculptures that extend the image into three dimensions.

Why It Matters
A twelve-color screen print is technically demanding, and Hijack's decision to also release wood-cut sculptures makes Kissing Booth one of his more format-diverse titles. The sculptural editions in particular are unusual for his catalog and give the release a distinctive collector footprint.
Collector Perspective
Four formats compete for attention here: the numbered 50, 5 APs, 4 framed canvases, and 5 wood-cut sculptures. The sculptures are the rarest and most novel tier. Collectors should be clear which object they are acquiring, as the sculptures differ fundamentally from the wall prints.
Historical Context
Released in 2023, Kissing Booth reflects Hijack's willingness to push beyond flat editions into layered color and dimensional objects. The twelve-color build and sculptural spin-off show a studio confident in complex production.
