KAWS ONE

Finally! I have gotten hold of the Kaws One book. Originally published on September 2001 by Little More in Japan, the book contains artwork by Kaws that he did for his show at the Parco Gallery in Tokyo from March to April 2001. Among the notable work he did for the show were his take on The Simpsons aptly named Kimpsons, some of his early work on the ads posted in OOH (out-of-home advertisements) ad spaces such as bus stops as well as his prominent “collaboration” with Kate Moss.

Kaws Vs. PIPO!

I’ve always been a big Kaws fan, although I couldn’t afford the vinyl toys he makes with Medicom, I recently had a chance to purchase a book he released in a small show he did in Japan a few years back.

Here is his latest work, inspired by Pipo, the mascot of the Japanese police.  Spot the difference.
