“The Kaws Book” by Rizzoli.

I have to say I am very excited about this Kaws book by Rizzoli! The book features a look at Kaws’ work over the years… It releases next month all around the world with some early release events to celebrate. Kaws is one of my favorite artists out there and I just can’t get enough of his work and style. This will definitely be something worth picking up if you can get your hands on one. The official release date is November 16th, but it is available for pre-order on RIZZOLI & AMAZON.

More on the KAWS x Dos Equis collaboration.

“Coming on the heels of the KAWS x Dos Equis beer bottle project, a two part interview offers a rare video glimpse involving KAWS. The interview includes talk of KAWS’ background, his thoughts on product design and how he currently approaches collaborative projects. The video is arguably one of the better representations of KAWS’ insights into his brand and the foundation of his output.”
