To celebrate Original Fake’s recent 1st year anniversary, KAWS had a very limited run of 20 bronze dissected Companions created. 10 were released to the public and 10 created as artist proofs. Under the watchful eye of master craftsmen in Japan, these 22lbs/10kg statues feature a sharp black shine. The statue itself includes a special KAWS hand-painted coffin box.

Puma Mobility is the latest movement from Puma to establish a connection with the high fashion market in mind. Their latest project involves the Puma 8 speed. This bicycle was a joint collaboration between two Japanese factions, Maruwaka and Keigo Kamide. Maruwaka is known as an up and coming street artist, while Keigo Kamide plies his trade as an artist/painter/Kutani maker (Kutani is a regionally exclusive form of pottery). Maruwaka created various bike parts with Kutani ceramic. This bikes will not be sold commercially but rather displayed first and auction off via silent charity to raise money for Hokuriku area earthquake victims.
