Snyder's Rocket Pop Boy

A few more action shots of Snyder putting up his Rocket Pop Boy (RPB), with some help from Zombie.

For those that remember, Snyder has said that his RPB is a commentary on the sudden rise of street art in the mainstream world.

Snyder is very cognizant of his art, the placement, and what that means, and he sent along these words to describe the role of the piece and placement.

With my art, I have always attempted to showcase the creative process;
everything "behind the scenes" from early brainstorming sketches to the
creative process to the finished piece. Like the Rocket Pop Boy set behind
the facade of the building, I attempt to showcase the less visible, though
highly important, background layers of art.

This location of the art plays just as big of a role as the art itself. As
seen in the photo, the building is hit hard by a wide assortment of
street/graffiti artists. Each piece is highly visible and dominates its
specific place. The face of the building is almost entirely covered, yet
in my opinion, the perfect canvas just beyond the facade in the back of
the enclave is most desirable. Shockingly, before my RPB, it was kept
untouched.

The tall wood wall that separates the sidewalk from the back previously
untouched canvas is an important part of this RBP project. It represents
the barrier between the visual aspect of a piece of art and the conceptual
aspect of art, or in this project, specifically the creative process.

For those content on the visual, then a view from the street is enjoyable,
but for those interested in the layers behind this piece, a head high
barrier is all that stands in your way.

Dig it. Stay up~
