MARK DREW [AUS]. X-tra Hype. Time-released Hand pulled screenprint. Portrait print: 420 mm x 297 mm. Maximum edition size: 35. Print technology: Hand-pulled screen print. Stock: 240GSM black stock. Signed and numbered by the artist. ABOUT THE ARTWORK. It's a torn up and rearranged "Parental Advisory" style warning label from the front of an Ice-T album. He (alongside Jello Biafra) was one of the first artists to speak out about being stuck with the label and had his version redesigned as a tongue in cheek reaction - the text reading "X-TRA HYPE" and "inappropriate for squares and suckers". It really struck a chord with me when I was younger, realising that he was forced to have a warning on the front, but could still flip it into a statement like that. ~ Mark Drew.
