Original hand painting acrylic on Canvas by Scien & Klor 123KLAN.

All the elements in this canvas are their own creation, everything is hand sketching first, each detail, logo, typo or character. 

123KLAN unveils a groundbreaking concept, or should I say, a new eccentricity, by breathing new life into their iconic mascot, Mr. Card.

For those familiar with 123klan's unique approach, they know that the duo approaches creation akin to a DJ mixing, crafting all visual materials by hand. They merge their works graphically in an original and truly human manner. While this takes a bit more time than artificial intelligence, the result is both authentic and imbued with humanity.

Mr. Card, created by Scien and Klor of the graffiti crew 123KLAN, serves as the crew's iconic mascot, representing a unique blend of symbolism and philosophy. His character draws from the concept of a card game, reflecting several key ideas:

1. Life as a Game: Mr. Card symbolizes the notion that life deals everyone a unique set of cards. As "gamers," we must embrace our circumstances, play our hand, and strive to make the best out of any situation. The essence of life is to have fun, take risks, and adapt to the cards we’re dealt.

2. Collaboration and Community: The card game metaphor extends to the idea of a multiplayer experience, highlighting the importance of connection within the street art community. It represents the collaborative spirit of graffiti culture, where artists engage in dialogue, share ideas, and create together.

3. Empowerment and Agency: Mr. Card embodies the belief that, regardless of the challenges life presents, one can always find ways to influence their destiny. Bluffing and strategizing are part of the game, signifying the power to fight for one’s dreams and reshape one’s narrative.

Overall, Mr. Card is a celebration of fun, freedom, and the creativity inherent in navigating life’s uncertainties. He reflects the vibrant spirit of 123KLAN and their commitment to street art as a means of expression and connection.

This gave birth to the concept of the non-virtual NFT series, materialized in the form of hand-painted acrylic canvases. Each meticulously crafted artwork uniquely captures Mr. Card's distinctive personality in all its variations. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, attesting to its rarity and uniqueness, each acrylic canvas is a one-of-a-kind piece, as rare as a smile on a rainy day ;p.
