The hand-signed complex, rich and expressive limited edition, “Shit Happens” is part of the artist’s newest collection Special Edition, and it suggest that life can be ill-fated and sometimes things don’t go perfectly but that is also part of life.

McQueen’s sensitive respect for vintage books has a stark and comical contrast to the bold and provocative titles that feature on the artwork. The artist complex application of paint elevates his art beyond the mere imitation of a nostalgic object towards an art that is rich and expressive, exploring themes of Pop art and abstraction.

The titles and sentiments are evocative, playful, and sometimes cynical, depicted through a process of layering the canvas with thickly applied expressive brush strokes, characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. The anonymous artist also incorporates drip painting into a number of his canvases alongside his classic vintage style with his characteristic signature monkey.

Bold colours reflect the satirical quotes throughout the collection, subverting the vintage aesthetic of historical books. The poignant quotes thus complete these bold modern artworks also replete with contemporary art influences, from Rothko to Tracey Emin.

"Books, like people, have personalities." - James McQueen

Hugely popular with collectors, the artist continues to break new ground through complex and contemporary artworks, making his pieces powerful statements in any setting.

This edition is a Silkscreen and Archival Pigment in Colour on Deckled Edge Somerset Satin 410gsm Paper floated on a frame with 3mm Float Glass.

This piece can also be purchased in the set of four alongside the rest of the collection.

Real stainless band
Color: rose steel black dial, Color: rose steel black dial
My new favorite work watch. Wound up buying this after two failed attempts with other cheap watches from Wally world that turned my wrist black after the plating wore off in about three days. Learned my lesson. so far this thing keeps perfect time and does not turn my wrist black. Had to take a couple of links out for a perfect fit. So yeah, this will be the only brand of watch I will likely be buying from now on. Hope they’re around for a while. Update* January 8 2026. Oh no, I had such high hopes for this watch brand BUT, I only had this watch for two months when it started dry moisture inside the crystal. No I am not a diver nor have I had the watch fully submerged. This thing is not water resistant at all. It may be great for Desert dwellers or for people who never take showers or baths with it on. Going back to my old favorite Armitron.

Love the OLEVS watches!!! They are all great looking and of high quality!!! You can tell as soon as you put it on your wrist that it is of high quality. The displays are gorgeous and easy to read. The ones with stainless steel straps are easy to remove links to adjust fit. If you keep your eye on the daily and lighting deals, you can catch them with great deals.
