Skeleton Cat (Green)
Summary
Skeleton Cat (Green) is a 2022 screen print, the green colorway numbered to 30 at 30 x 22.5 inches. The image anchors a multi-colorway release that also includes red, blue, orange, and yellow runs of descending size, plus a group of 13 one-of-a-kind variants.
Why It Matters
Colorway releases let collectors build sets or chase the scarcest hue, and Skeleton Cat is structured for exactly that. The green edition of 30 is the largest and most available; the yellow at just 5 is the rarest, creating a built-in scarcity ladder within one image.
Collector Perspective
The green run of 30 is the reference colorway and the easiest to acquire. Collectors targeting rarity gravitate to the yellow edition of 5 or the 13 one-of-a-kinds. Because colorways vary sharply in size, confirming the exact hue and its edition count is central to any acquisition.
Historical Context
Produced in 2022, Skeleton Cat reflects the street-art convention of releasing a single image in multiple colorways at staggered edition sizes. The macabre-yet-playful skeleton motif fits Hijack's blend of dark humor and accessible iconography.

About the Artist
Hijack is a Los Angeles-based street artist, the son of the French urban artist Blek le Rat, who is often credited as a pioneer of stencil graffiti and an influence on Banksy. Working primarily in stencil and mixed media, Hijack creates satirical, pop-culture-charged imagery that comments on consumerism, politics, and celebrity, frequently juxtaposing childhood innocence with adult themes. He has exhibited in galleries across the United States and internationally, and his editions and originals have attracted a growing collector base within the contemporary urban-art market.
Collecting Hijack at Gauntlet Gallery

Hijack works are offered with documented studio provenance and the artist's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, capturing the signature and edition details so you can verify before buying.
