Barneys Coop has teamed up with Watch makers Timex and tattoo artist, toy maker, book
Back in 2002 under the watchful eye and direction of SUCKADELIC, graf artists EASE and JK5 (who recently collaborated with Mishka) did extensive work on an AT-AT toy by Hasbro. The AT-AT walker was originally seen in George Lucas’ The Empire Strikes Back. The tags surrounding the toy are all done in the fictional alphabet system Aurebesh which was seen extensively in the Star Wars series. The AT-AT toy is among the pieces being auctioned off at Christie’s Graf-At auction featuring numerous graffiti related artifacts and works.

Back in 1999, critically acclaimed artist JK5 put together a vivid 432 page volume of his work titled Subconsciothesaurusnex. The book would go on to form the basis of this collaboration with New York’s Mishka. Over a three day span, the book was carefully dissected and repasted to create a stunning collage of the artist’s works. The collage would then be applied in various forms including t-shirts, hoodies and hats. Although both the artist and brand represent concepts and imagery off the beaten path, one cannot help but realize the perfect union created by these two entities and their flawless execution. View the entire collection along with background information over at Mishka.
