Michael Godard Gangster Chopper SERIGRAPH Publisher Rare Ltd Ed w/ COA

Gangster Chopper – Michael Godard | Rare Hand-Pulled Serigraph on Canvas

Exclusive Limited Edition | Approximately 200 Produced | Direct from the Original Publisher

One Legendary Gangster Olive. One Custom Chopper. One Extraordinary Michael Godard Edition.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive limited editions ever published by internationally acclaimed pop artist Michael Godard.

“Gangster Chopper,” featuring the notorious Ollie Capone, was produced in an extraordinarily rare format: a hand-pulled serigraph on canvas, created using more than 60 individual screens and genuine layers of paint.

Unlike the traditional giclée reproductions associated with Godard’s artwork, this special edition was produced through an elaborate, labor-intensive process that delivers remarkable color, texture, and visual depth.

Approximately 200 serigraph canvases were produced worldwide, making this an exceptionally limited offering.

Best of all, this artwork is available directly from Hallmark Press, Inc., the original publisher and owner of the edition.

The Artwork – Ollie Capone Meets Custom Motorcycle Culture

Michael Godard brings his unmistakable humor and rebellious imagination to the world of custom motorcycles in “Gangster Chopper.”

Featuring his legendary olive gangster, Ollie Capone, the composition combines Godard’s signature pop-surrealist style with the attitude and excitement of custom chopper culture.

Bold imagery, dramatic contrasts, and Godard’s playful sense of humor make this an unforgettable addition to his celebrated gangster-themed artwork.

An Extraordinary Serigraph Production Process

What distinguishes this edition from conventional Michael Godard canvas reproductions is its exceptional method of production.

More than 60 individual hand-pulled screens were used to create each canvas.

Rather than relying on digital inkjet printing, the serigraph process builds the image through successive applications of real paint.

The result is an unusually rich surface with exceptional color saturation, layered texture, and visual depth.

Because of the extraordinary expense and complexity involved, “Gangster Chopper” was the only Michael Godard image Hallmark Press produced as a serigraph edition on canvas.

The artwork was also released in a separate, more conventional giclée format, making this hand-pulled serigraph version particularly distinctive.

The Story Behind Gangster Chopper

The creation of “Gangster Chopper” began with a collaboration involving renowned custom motorcycle builder Roger Bourget.

After meeting Bourget at the Barrett-Jackson automotive auction, Hallmark Press commissioned Michael Godard to create an original painting inspired by a custom chopper.

The collaboration brought together Godard’s imaginative artwork and Bourget’s extraordinary motorcycle craftsmanship.

The original painting and custom-built chopper were subsequently presented together at a special event at the Hallmark Press gallery in Rancho Mirage, California, attended by both Godard and Bourget.

Both the original painting and the custom motorcycle sold that evening, making this limited edition a lasting connection to a memorable collaboration between fine art and custom motorcycle design.
