Word from Piro (over on KR) is the shiny Dissected and the Accomplice in the pics are solid bronze limited editions (supplied in handpainted boxes as seen in the first picture) . . . . $5K region! Greyscale Dissected looks schaweeet in a 'less is more' kinda way.
Pirovino is cool as hell in my book !! Helped me when I needed help and answers all my KAWS question openly. And as as the HB blog ! Man I can only compare KAWS to the Yankees. There are times when I love his work and times when I hate it. But in the end I'm a fan and will continue to check up and support no matter what feeling it is for the day. I'm not crazy about the sketchs for the t-shirts. Reminds me to much of a hallmark birthday card. But since he has opened OF and has been doing a lot of work its cool to see him change and continue to grow. At first T hated the idea of a KAWS store because so much would be released and I thought it would ruin the KAWS appeal. But it has done just the opposite for me I'm not crazy about the OF gray companion or the accomplice. But like the print
best analogy ever. people will also go on to dislike his work simply because of well he does. I neeeed that hoody!
I am a world-class collector. When have I flipped a new release? Never. I sell old stuff that's hard to get, and I spend time finding these pieces. Any info I share is to benefit the community. What's your problem? By definition, a flipper is looking for a quick buck. Last time I checked with my Swiss bank, I don't need to sell toys to make a few dollars.
Props to Ronnie. The man is good people, tremendously open and helpful, and no flipper by any stretch.
when you talk about the grey scale companion, do you mean the one wrapped on the scarf? because i have a feeling that is just the one which has already been released, but they whole photo has been turned grey scale... just a thought
It looks that way to me too. Although the screenprint is full colour and shows (potentially) the greyscale version.
