KAWS is known for his painting but he creates bigger than life sculptures. Definitely he work with a construction company to create the sculpture. From sketching the first draft to going to the factory to inspect the quality of the craftsmanship of the work.

I looked at KAWS’ works, and his trademark of featuring nostalgic characters in our childhood is pretty apparent here as well (are those mickey’s legs?). I’m interested in this as it’s always interesting to see how artists explore with mediums out of their usual works, and in this case it would a lot of effort and time to have the work created, going through the factory and etc!
