A circle is round,a shit stinks,gras is green and KAWS is KAWS.I saw this brand before but never really knew much about even tough it was lookin hot and all.So as a 'true' blogger I went out and did some research here and a little bit there.And this is my result a little article I wrote. Enjoy.

He became a graffiti artist while growing up in Jersey City.He later moved to New York in the 1990s,putting his images on billboards,phone boots and shelters.Nobody really showed interrest in his works in the beginning but later on when he got more popular people went searching for his work.Later he traveld to other city's around the world to do is 'work',city's like Berlin ,Tokyo and Paris.

Later on he started to design limited editions toys,which came really popular in Japan, this was in the late 1990s.Because of his fame in the artistic world ,KAWS has worked with various artist like Nigo from Bathing Ape , Kanye West and Pharrel Williams aka N.E.R.D. who is a worshipper of his work,BIG-TIME brands like Vans and Nike have also worked with KAWS
