Death NYC — Haring Andy Mouse x Dragon Ball Z

What You Are Getting

A hand-signed Death NYC print featuring a maximalist cultural collision — Keith Haring’s iconic dancing figures holding up an “Andy Mouse” dollar bill, with Dragon Ball Z characters filling the entire background. This is number 12 of only 50 — twice as rare as Death NYC’s standard editions of 100. Signed in pencil, dated 2024, with the embossed Death & Co. authentication seal.

The composition layers four distinct cultural universes. The white Haring dancing figures — the most recognizable motifs in 1980s street art — support a US dollar bill featuring Keith Haring’s celebrated “Andy Mouse” character (Haring’s hybrid of Mickey Mouse and Andy Warhol, one of the most important crossover images in pop art history). Dollar signs flank both sides. Behind them, Goku, Gohan, and the full Dragon Ball Z cast erupt in vivid anime color. “USA” and “Andy Mouse” text anchor the currency motif.

The result is a piece that speaks to five collector communities at once: Keith Haring fans, Warhol collectors, Dragon Ball Z anime enthusiasts, street art buyers, and pop art collectors. The smaller edition of 50 signals heightened artistic significance and ensures meaningful scarcity on the secondary market. Unframed and ready for custom framing.

About the Work

The “Andy Mouse” reference is the key to this composition. Keith Haring’s original Andy Mouse series (1985–1986) fused Mickey Mouse ears with Andy Warhol’s face — creating one of the most important images in art history about the relationship between commerce, celebrity, and pop art. Death NYC takes that already-loaded image and layers it onto a dollar bill, flanked by Haring’s dancing figures, and then floods the background with Dragon Ball Z’s Super Saiyan warriors — the most globally exported anime franchise of the late 20th century.

The result is a visual argument about value, energy, and cultural export. Haring and Warhol defined American pop art. Dragon Ball Z defined Japanese anime export culture. The dollar bill ties them together as commodities. Death NYC sits at the intersection and makes the case that all of these visual languages are now part of the same global cultural economy — interchangeable, tradeable, collectible.

The edition of 50 places this in the upper tier of Death NYC scarcity. Standard editions run 100; this is half that. Combined with the 2024 production date (current-era relevance) and the five-way crossover subject matter, this print is built for the widest possible buyer appeal at the tightest possible supply.
