Sket One x Kaws Custom Blood-Spattered Companion
Sket One is serving up customs (for the first time) in his eBay shop, and for the right price, you could take home some exceptional pieces. Say you happen to have an extra $700, you’d be stoked to see two customized Kaws companions–one bloody and one clean. Sket did the one-of-a-kind pieces for the “You [...]

Wednesday, November 19, 2008
November 24th brings the anticipation of many things. Big roasted turkeys, mountains of mashed potatoes and many a belly ache. But it also brings the upcoming studio album by Kanye West. His fourth album is entitled 808s & Heartbreak. The album originally was going to drop on December 16th, but the record company has their [...]

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Here they are, in all their rumored $25K colorways. As Sunny blogged earlier today, Kaws opened a new solo show at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin and Nitrolicious has provided some great breaking visuals (check their post for more). This exhibition features the KAWS’ most recent paintings and sculpture. Large-scale acrylic works on canvas incorporate his usual cast [...]

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Didn’t Kaws just put on a solo show? The answer, if you recall, is a big old yes. His solo show ‘Saturated’ is currently at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Miami, Florida. It opened in mid September and will run until November 15th. And before the paintings from that show can even be brought down, packed and shipped [...]

Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Hey, remember these? We’ve been talking about Kaws’ line of housewares with Gallery 1950 since July, but usually there’s nowhere to direct US readers who are flush with cash and lengthy ash to purchase them. Well ToyQube, based in Flushing, New York, just got the ashtrays in black and white ceramic finishes. Kaws’ wares are [...]

Tuesday, October 28, 2008
It’s nice to see that CBS News is covering other things besides the elections, various wars and the downward spiral of the economy. Posted on Kaws’s blog (where we grabbed these pics) were photos from a recent visit of a CBS News crew and correspondent Serena Altschui (who’s also worked with CNN, Channel One and [...]

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Start saving your money, there’s a new holy grail of toydome coming. The 4ft Black Kaws Companion. There was a great teaser photo of this incredibly cool ultra sized figure. No word on any details and when, where and why. But the grey companions that were being sold via Original Fake back in June were [...]

Wednesday, October 8, 2008
Fashion powerhouse Marc Jacobs has teamed up with toy powerhouse Kaws to create a pair of iconic Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats.

There have been many incarnations (silver leather, jelly plastic, Minnie [...]

Tuesday, October 7, 2008
Is bronze the new vinyl? Highly unlikely, but one thing that the folks who like to spend their free time arguing Kaws vs. Kozik on the KR forums can agree upon is that busts are the new platform. First came Kozik’s dictators and Ludwig Van. Now, The Art Collectors reports that Kaws is, ahem, busting [...]
Continue reading...Kawstrooper Brings the Crowd
Monday, September 29, 2008
No surprise, but OriginalFake’s lottery-release of Kaws’ Stormtrooper drew a crowd that went on for blocks and rounded corners. In among the fans, mules and apparently homeless, it’s cool to see a few familiar faces (locals Brian Flynn, Glenn Pogue and Kirkland Jue for starters, see below pic from Skullbrain) flew over for the event. [...]

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
I thought this would surely drag out longer, but OriginalFake just put up info about the release of the much-anticipated Kawstrooper. In case your browser blocks pop-ups, I’ve clipped the bilingual press releases here. The gist of it is, this Saturday at 9AM (Tokyo time), there will be a lottery for Kaws’ version of the [...]

Monday, September 22, 2008
If it's not Saturated that's got everybody's blog agog, it's this very hush-hush Kaws x Star Wars Stormtrooper collab. The Kawstrooper is everywhere. All this fanfare and fuss with very little details.

Monday, September 22, 2008
Kaws marked his return to the formal art scene with his much-blogged Saturated show at Miami’s Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin this weekend. I would have liked to be there to see the Smurfs and Spongebobs and to try to pop off a question or two to Brian D himself, but I was quite happily supporting the [...]

Friday, September 12, 2008
Kaws, the newest belle of the ball in high end art circles, will be debuting two very much anticipated solo shows in the near future (his first in five years). His coming out party will be his “Saturated” exhibition opening September 20th at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Miami, Florida (close enough that Pharrell Williams [...]

Thursday, September 11, 2008
Get a load of that ice, dog. I suppose Pharrell Williams subscribes to the “If you’ve got it, flaunt it” philosophy. Afterall, his company is called Billionaire Boys Club and it seems like every magazine I pick up lately (Complex, i-D and those ubiquitous Fashion Rocks inserts) contains an expose on Skateboard P and [...]
