Re: KAWS Warm Regards Bar (?) This is exactly what KAWS has been saying regarding consumer culture for years. It just hasn't been this overt before.
Re: KAWS Warm Regards Bar (?) absolutely true. easy to criticize, but 99.9% of us dont make our own art like that, so who are we to criticize?
I make art like that every morning, sometimes even twice a day! It may not be on a stick, but that just makes it easier to display. PM me if interested.
Re: KAWS Warm Regards Bar (?) haha yes!! if any of my gears or circuits will help, ill gladly donate them. i actually kind of like these. pretty silly, but its cool to see something in a different direction that defies being displayed conventionally. that said, i currently have zero kaws pieces, and dont plan to buy these.
Oh hellzzzzz yeah! I hope he does piss in a cup next. I am confused I thought at first kaws was against blind consumerism but now he fully embraces and embodies it?
Re: KAWS Warm Regards Bar (?) kaws look way too nice to criticize anything. even his crossbones/crossed eyes on busstop models werent meant to be a critique of advertisement. think its about fun. take whats out there: billboards, mickey mouse, etc. play with it, give it a little makeover, make something look cool. no big message - just do it!
Yeah well I guess when you have pharell up your ass and you can sell a resin cast of your head for $20k who wouldn't right?
I think it's funny, it's a natural step, the Japanese depiction of poo being neat little piles of soft serve. It only makes sense to put it on a sick and make it into a popsicle. Besides when you guys look at this, you see unchi. Why isn't it icecream, it's on a stick? Maybe that's why it amuses me, it could be shit, it could be ice-cream, the opposites and indifference, just mesh so well. Besides, even if we think his newest product sucks, it always make for good conversation. So thank you Kaws, for giving us something to talk about at the water cooler.
These remind me of those Mickey Mouse-head ice creams I used to get as a kid: I guess that's what they're supposed to be. Kind of neat. I don't have any KAWS pieces, but he's kind of hit & miss as far as my tastes go. I like some of the companion & chum figures but this, the ashtray, the bendy snake thing... not for me.
Anyone know if one has to be in Japan at the Original Fake L’intrus store to pick these up or will they be available on KAWSone?
