We are currently doing a fashion collaborative together. Below is what he wrote The inspiring scenery of Brooklyn and his artistic people leaded to spontaneous Artists collaboration. The first project will be in the same way as we did with Merijn Kavelaars, only this time one Blue Blood denim suite will be customised by several artists. Each in their own unique style. The kickoff will be with the artist Chris D’Acunto, a cool multitalented art director and artist based in Brooklyn. The parcel left the office and we will keep you updated!

The idea was to make the paintings themselves act as an action figure, by having each individual piece having it's own name and personality and then packaging it like a toy. They are constructed out of canvas, balsa wood, acetate, an assortment of different paints such as spraypaint, acrylic, house paint, as well as sharpie and pastel. <img
