An award-winning artist, author, speaker and entrepreneur, Justin BUA is internationally known for his signature portrait style, which he has applied to foundational figures from the worlds of music and sports. Through his partnership with Sideshow, BUA’s artwork will be translated from 2D into 3D for the first time ever. Sideshow, known for its museum-quality pop culture collectibles, is teaming up with BUA to bring his vision to high-quality collectible figurines, limited-edition bronzes, and exclusive fine art prints.

BUA’s most famous work, “The DJ,” has been in print since 2000 and has sold more 13 million copies worldwide. “The DJ” is one of four paintings in BUA’s Elements of Hip Hop series, which Sideshow’s designer toy brand, Unruly Industries, is developing as a collection.  

The Elements of Hip Hop collection will feature characters representing the four pillars of Hip Hop—Graffiti, Breakdancing, MCing, and DJing. In addition to the Elements of Hip Hop collection, Sideshow and BUA are developing a limited edition of bronzes from another one of his iconic paintings, and a series of fine art prints featuring both new pieces and exclusive variants of BUA’s iconic art.

Fans can RSVP to be alerted when the first item from the Elements of Hip Hop becomes available.
