Hitman: Ricky Hatton To be auctioned for @rickyhattonfoundation 100% going to the foundation. 4ft x 4ft (122 × 122 cm) Original Decollage on Cradled Wood Panel (7.5 cm) Blue Neon Crown Resin Finish with 24 Carat Gold Leaf Built from appropriated street posters, boxing imagery, spray paint, ink, layered halftone portrait work, 24 carat gold leaf and fragments of Manchester culture. The surface has been torn back, rebuilt and layered over time, reflecting both the journey of a fighter and the city that helped shape him. Hidden throughout the work are references drawn from Hatton's career and personal life, embedded within layers of ripped posters, graffiti and surface texture. Ricky Hatton was a world champion boxer but more than that he was the peoples champion, a symbol of Manchester, carrying the pride, humour and fighting spirit of the city onto the world stage. The blue neon crown represents earned status. In graffiti culture, a crown marks respect gained through impact, loyalty and legacy rather than title alone. The weathered and decayed surface reflects the advertising boards found throughout city streets, where layers of posters have been built up, torn back and exposed to the elements over time. The resin surface preserves this history while allowing fragments of paper, texture and signs of decay to remain visible throughout the work. Look closely and you'll find fragments of biography hidden amongst the layers, references that reveal themselves slowly as the surface is explored. “Hitman” celebrates the spirit of a fighter who never forgot where he came from. by @its.rooki

Rebel Royalty: Vivienne Westwood 4ft x 4ft (122 × 122 cm) Original Decollage on Cradled Wood Panel (7.5 cm) Pink Neon Crown Built from appropriated street and fashion posters, spray paint, ink, stencils, 24k gold leaf and layered halftone portrait work. The surface has been torn back, rebuilt and disrupted with the energy of rebellion itself. Every mark sits somewhere between destruction and creation. Westwood’s image has lived many lives, punk icon, activist, designer, provocateur. But beneath the headlines was someone who challenged systems, rewrote rules and refused to conform to expectation. The neon crown represents earned status, not inherited power. In graffiti culture, a crown marks respect, given by impact, not position. “Rebel Royalty” celebrates defiance as identity. Not fashion as trend, but fashion as protest. Not rebellion for spectacle, but rebellion as purpose. Look closely and you’ll find fragments of cultural history embedded within the layers, references that emerge slowly as the surface reveals itself over time. This piece is about disruption, independence and the legacy of those who change the conversation rather than follow it. #rooki #viviennewestwood #punk #rebelion #contemporaryart by @its.rooki
