"Some Journeys Live Forever" – Ultra Limited Edition (10 copies) - New collection Edition number: 01/10 Artist: SKE Technique: Digital painting (Procreate - AI - Photoshop) Instagram artist SKE: ske_shakeyourart Publisher: Atelier Montmartre Paris Premium art paper – ISO A2 format – Signed, numbered – Certificate included July 20, 1969. The world’s eyes are riveted on the Moon. More than half a century later, some adventures still have the power to make us dream. With Some Journeys Live Forever, SKE invites three icons who should never have crossed paths in this way: Snoopy, the astronaut with a tranquil smile; Woodstock, a tiny explorer; and the Omega Speedmaster Professional, the watch inseparable from the history of lunar missions. Above them, a rocket traces a luminous trajectory in space, while Earth seems to float within reach. The composition evokes Apollo 11 and the culture of comic strips, but also this fascinating paradox: time is measured in seconds, while memories are transmitted across generations. Each detail tells the story of this meeting between horological precision and childhood imagination. In a graphic language blending flat, high-contrast areas, illustrated lines, and lunar textures, SKE turns these popular references into a contemporary, playful, memory-laden scene. A homage to those who grew up with Snoopy, admired the space conquest, or dreamed in front of a Speedmaster. Produced in A2 format on Hahnemühle art paper, this limited edition of 10 copies is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. A piece designed to join a collection at the crossroads of art, watchmaking, and pop culture. Because some journeys never end. They continue on our walls, in our memories, and in the objects we choose to keep. • Limited edition of 10 copies • Printed on premium art paper • ISO A2 format (59.4x42 cm), easy to frame • Each copy is signed and numbered by SKE • Delivered with certificate of authenticity • Shipped protected, reinforced packaging A rare edition that will undoubtedly become a flagship element of your collection. - FRAMING TIPS Your work is shipped rolled and protected in a tube. Upon receipt, carefully unroll and lay flat for 48 to 72 hours to allow it to resume its natural shape before framing. ISO formats (A3, A2, A1…) are very easy to frame with standard frames available in hardware or decor shops. Personally, I use Leroy Merlin aluminum frames: simple, elegant, and affordable; they perfectly showcase the works. - ARTIST BIO: SKE is a self-taught French artist and all-rounder who grew up in the 80s/90s culture, inspiring a large portion of his artistic works. He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stenciling, graffiti, urban installations, and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with double readings, fuse the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art. After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s market value has risen notably. Winner of the first prize at Urban Master (2023), then named Revelation of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025). SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" in October and also featured in an American art magazine, confirming his international recognition. His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States, and Asia, solidifying his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE also makes a mark in the digital art market, a major trend of the past two years, increasing the appeal of his creations to collectors. Icons of popular culture, bold graphics, and textured surfaces define a style now indispensable. SKE is undoubtedly an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with growing value. Awarded & Recognized Artist – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art AN UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY SKE’s work sits within a prestigious lineage. His line carries the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works create a bridge between eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to remix the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer, The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, or the deconstructed forms of Picasso to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr. Brainwash or KAWS. POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing from the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and the symbolic greed of Scrooge McDuck. The influence of gaming, comics, and graphic novels is omnipresent: from Nintendo’s universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokémon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and the Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami. LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style sometimes reminiscent of Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The Dollar symbol sits beside luxury and fashion logos. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: you encounter sneaker culture (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off-White) and high fashion (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automobile adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precision watchmaking (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not forgetting mass consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured finishes sometimes resembling the glossy surface of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski. This work is ideal for enriching a collection or bringing a dynamic touch to your interior. - Instagram artist SKE: ske_shakeyourart
