KEIKOTROOPER BY FOOLS PARADISE

Posted on 2021-03-01

Fools Paradise is revisiting one of their early designs with the new Keikotrooper (2021) vinyl art toy. The original figure (2012) featured Keiko wearing a mouse trooper helmet, trooper gloves, boots and little else. The new version features a fifty/fifty design with a fully painted trooper suit on one side and a crystal clear suit on the other, revealing Keiko within. Interestingly, the star this time around is the Trooper suit rather than Keiko herself.

To celebrate Lunar New Year 2021, Hennessy partnered with renowned Beijing-born artist Liu Wei on a selection of limited edition bottles. Centering upon the V.S.O.P and X.O options, Wei incorporates his dynamic abstract work on the exterior of the bottles alongside their bespoke casing.

The colorful, kaleidoscopic compositions for the partnership were inspired by an original painting entitled SPRING that symbolize the infinite choice of possibilities of growth. The work evokes color, movement and a sense of transformation.

LIBERTY BY BUFF MONSTER

Posted on 2021-02-01

The artist’s first new figure in quite some time features his signature one-eyed ice cream character as the Statue of Liberty, carrying an ice cream cone ‘torch’.

Liberty debuts with the release of twenty five hand-painted sculptures in a rainbow of colors and a variety of techniques and finishes. Some feature crackle while others have glitter. Each is sealed with automotive clear coat for lasting protection. Beyond this first edition, Buff Monster does not plan on releasing additional hand-painted Liberty pieces. Subsequent releases would have a different deco approach, possibly solid color editions.

Each sculpture comes in a laser-engraved wood box and is signed/dated on back of figure.

An edition of 25.
