"Dem Bonez" custom show... teaser & backstory
What's been in the works for quite some time now, and launching in a few weeks at Zakka on March 25th in New York is an upcoming custom show that has a pretty interesting backstory... unlike any I have heard of. The platform is a "Dem Bonez" figure, a vinyl platform created by the godfather of graffiti, SEEN. As the story goes... A few years ago SEEN wanted to produce these crazy rattle can skeleton figures, but the company that was making them couldn't get it quite right so SEEN pulled the plug on the whole project. One day Mr. Den, who had been working with SEEN for the past 13 years, approached SEEN with the idea of letting himself along with Nemo curate a custom show with all the samples that were tucked away in a little dark corner collecting dust, he said "Hey slick, take em' all. Do whatever ya want wit em'." So now here we are today, the blanks have been shipped out to toy customizers, fine arts painters, sculptors, graffiti and special FX artists from all around and will soon be revealed. Stay tuned as more updates will come shortly.
