This artwork features a stylized, light-skinned male character depicted in profile, facing left. The character wears a light blue flat cap, adorned with a small crown motif, and a matching light blue hooded sweatshirt. The sweatshirt features white drawstrings and pockets, with the words “SIX” and “SQVAD” (likely “Squad”) printed vertically along the right sleeve. The character’s facial features include pronounced eyebrows, an angular nose, and a determined expression, with one eye visible behind a rectangular lens. To the left of the character, a blue graffiti tag—partially legible as “SQUAD SIX”—is rendered with drips, suggesting a spontaneous and urban aesthetic. The composition uses a limited color palette dominated by shades of blue for the clothing and tag, and warm brown tones for the skin. Black outlines define the forms, contributing to the graphic quality characteristic of cartooning and street art. The deliberate drips in the graffiti tag suggest the fluidity and immediacy often associated with aerosol art, even though the medium used here is a marker. The overall presentation is that of a character study, typical of “black book” or sketchbook art within graffiti culture, where artists develop characters and lettering styles. The work serves as a visual representation of b-boy culture and graffiti aesthetics, reflecting the artist’s roots in the New York street art scene. The character’s attire and the accompanying tag are emblematic of hip-hop and urban youth subcultures. The piece demonstrates Notch 56’s proficiency in character design and his distinctive graphic style, which blends cartoon influences with traditional graffiti elements.
