*THANKS!*

*APC ART is pleased to present “Trouble (Ice Cube),” an instantly recognizable and highly collectible contemporary edition by internationally acclaimed artist Mark Drew.*

*Released in conjunction with Art Basel Miami Beach 2022 and published by Harman Projects, this work is a hand-pulled silkscreen print in colors on wove paper. The work is hand signed and hand numbered by the artist in graphite pencil from the edition of 1,425 works.*

*The artwork measures approximately 18.1 × 18.1 inches (approximately 46 × 46 cm).*

*Mark Drew has become one of the most culturally relevant and sought-after contemporary artists working today. Through his now-iconic fusion of classic Peanuts imagery and legendary hip hop lyrics, Drew has successfully created an entirely unique visual language that resonates with collectors across generations.*

*His works bridge the worlds of contemporary art, nostalgia, music culture, street art, and fine art printmaking — creating instantly recognizable compositions that are both playful and deeply rooted in hip hop history.*

*“Trouble (Ice Cube)” is an exceptional example of Drew’s most beloved and recognizable body of work.*

*The composition depicts Snoopy clutching a basketball beneath the phrase: “GET ME ON THE COURT AN’ I’M TROUBLE!!” — a direct lyrical reference pulled from Ice Cube’s legendary song “Today Was A Good Day.”*

*The full lyric reads: “Get me on the court and I’m trouble, last week fucked around and got a triple-double.”*

*Like many of Drew’s strongest compositions, the brilliance lies in the juxtaposition. The innocence and familiarity of Charles Schulz’s iconic Peanuts characters are masterfully fused with the swagger, confidence, and cultural mythology of classic hip hop.*

*The vibrant yellow background creates tremendous visual energy while the bold black linework gives the composition immediate presence and graphic impact.*

*Mark Drew’s editions have developed an exceptionally dedicated collector base internationally. His works consistently sell out and many of his most desirable editions have become increasingly difficult to locate on the secondary market.*

*Collectors are particularly drawn to the way Drew transforms universally recognizable childhood imagery into sophisticated contemporary cultural commentary.*

*This work was released specifically to commemorate Art Basel Miami Beach 2022 through Harman Projects — one of the leading publishers and galleries operating within the contemporary and street art market.*

*Mark Drew’s work continues to attract musicians, athletes, celebrities, high-end contemporary collectors, and serious hip hop enthusiasts alike.*

*The work remains in excellent condition.*

*The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA.*

*An iconic, visually striking, and culturally important contemporary edition by one of the strongest voices currently working at the intersection of fine art and hip hop culture.*

*We are pleased to offer archival framing options for collectors seeking museum-quality presentation.*

*Proudly offered by APC ART.*
