Using the same exact concept that he did for Mini, here’s artpreneur KR pouring his silvery graffiti ink all over a bottle of Absolut as part of an uninspiring collaboration with EXIT magazine. This is only the first of three “Work in Progress” videos. We’ll be eagerly awaiting the remaining ones.
In a cross-promotional publicity stunt, graffiti artist KR will spray paint a Mini Cooper, possibly with one of his overpriced limited edition fire extinguishers. A sloppier version of BMW’s “1970s artist commissions,” the commercial car wash will take place as part of an exhibition of the ink entrepreneur’s drippy artwork at Vicious Gallery in Hamburg, Germany next week.
Graffiti opportunist and hype artist, KR, would like you to know that is crazily overpriced, $1000, limited edition fire extinguisher is now available in silver. |12oz|
There was once a time when blasting your name in huge sloppy letters required some ingenuity, namely, acquiring a fire extinguisher and pumping it full of paint. No more: Craig Costello aka KR has announced plans to put some self-branded paint sprayers on sale to the public. But at $1000 a piece, the limited edition of 20 “Krink 8-Litre Applicators” seems destined for nothing but display. If you really need a “new [tool] for creative expression,” build one. You can even make your own KRINK too. |12oz|
Craig Costello aka KR, made a name for himself in the graffiti game with his drippy tags and later on, a custom line of indelible inks. In a meager attempt to recapture that edgier past, the artful vandal splashed his signature silver streaks onto 7-inch miniature resin NYC-style mailboxes that even come complete with “dents from urban wear and tear.” The individually numbered, limited edition, “expressionist piece of vandalism” was produced by vinyl toy factory farm, Kid Robot, and will retail for a mind staggering $39.95.
