I\'m the owner of the DV Warehouse and Toy Art Gallery in L.A., I\'m downsizing & selling works from my private collection, I have over 1,500 paintings & urban designer toy pieces within my collection and I\'m getting new pieces listed as time permits. If you\'re in L.A. please stop by our corporate office in Hollywood to check out the collection in person or you can also see my portfolio on the artwork archive site,just search my name Gino Joukar on Google and it should be one of the top results.For now, greatly appreciate you taking a look at this new listing on of mine, I\'ve been a huge fan of KAWS for a long time now, attached are a few photos from my collection and I hate to part from this piece, because I never thought I would have ever have to sell my KAWS collection, since it\'s taken me so long to pull it all together but I guessknowing that it\'ll be going to another good home helps me to separatemyself from it, hopefully one that\'ll appreciate and enjoy the piece as much as I have, for now though here\'s more details about this incredible artist/urban legend:
Brian Donnelly, the ex-Disney illustrator better known asKAWS, created his first vinyl toy in 1999: an eight-inch “Companion” whose round belly, noodly limbs, and white gloves immediately reminded viewers of the cartoons made famous by his former workplace. The limited edition toy, produced in collaboration with the Japanese brand Bounty Hunter, reflected KAWS’s desire to make his work more accessible to the public. In the years since, KAWS has rendered most of his signature characters in three dimensions, including Chum, Bendy, and Blitz, as well as his renditions of iconic cartoons like Tweety,Snoopy, andPinocchio. When first released, these sculptures often sell out in just seconds. When the Museum of Modern Art promoted KAWS’s toys in its design store, collector demand was so high that the museum’s website crashed multiple times.
In what some may consider one of the mosthighly sought after toys in recent memory comes an in-depth look at thisspecial collaboration between KAWS and Star Wars. Much detail and thought wasimplemented in the creation of this toy as evidenced by the costume and thecontrol panel on the chest.
