The art of KAWS
I saw this artist on CBS Sunday Morning show and wanted to share his art.
This is art from a 34-year old Jersey City, Brian Donnelly, graffiti artist turned traditional painter, designer known as KAWS. He got his start by drawing on his skateboard, painting on walls now he is showcasing his paintings in galleries after shying away from museums and galleries for years. The name KAWS has no meaning, he just liked the shapes of k, a, w, s. His art has caught the eye of Pharrell Williams who has commissioned dozens of pieces for his Miami home and Kanye West. He designed the artwork for Kanye's latest album, "808's and Heartbreaks". He has also collaborated with Lucasfilm to designed a Star Wars stormtrooper.
