Kaws & Effect

kaws x peanuts

Hot on the heels of the Vans x Peanuts collection, comes the latest Peanuts collaboration, this time with artist KAWS for Uniqlo.

Brian Donnelly, aka KAWS, is a New York artist and designer and is famous for his cross eyed toys. KAWS, began his career as a graffiti artist and by the early '90s he moved to New York City and began to work focus on subverting the images on bus shelters, phone booth advertisements  and billboards. In the late 90's he began designing vinyl toys that went on to become hugely collectable.

He has designed toys and clothing for brands such as Original Fake, A Bathing Ape, Undercover, Kung Faux, Nike, Vans and Comme des Garcons.  His pedigree for using cartoon characters is well proven as he reworked The Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, the Michelin Man, the Smurfs and SpongeBob SquarePants.

He's teamed up with Uniqlo once more to create a range of Snoopy emblazoned tees, sweatshirts and toys. The collection went live today and it's selling out fast!
