KAWS - New York Magazine cover
Ever since I wrote about him on this blog, Brooklyn-based pop-artist KAWS has straight blown up. Naw, not really. KAWS has been producing his distinctive style of art since the mid-1990s. He has worked with a variety of toy and clothing companies and held art exhibits in Tokyo and Paris. I'd say that he is reaching his highest point in popularity right now, having been commissioned by Kanye West to design a limited edition cover for 808s and Heartbreak. He also recently held the "The Long Way Home" show at the Honor Fraser Gallery in Los Angeles, and received a write-up in the LA Times profiling his commercial appeal. This month he was tapped to design the cover for New York Magazine, pictured above.
