Kanye West x Takashi Murakami Aluminum Bear Sculpture
Currently on display at the Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Paris, is this Kanye West x Takashi Murakami aluminium sculpture (above-left) featuring the bear mascot - who by now is synonymous with Kanye (seen in-action with his "Good Morning" music video circa 2007). Altho I've always wondered why a perfectly adorable character-form was not made into a three-dimensional toy/figurine (or did I miss anything here? :p).

And with the current "hype" over the shiny-metallic-shiny No Future Companion by KAWS and Sorayama, this particular sculpture may well evoke or stir up sum desires, maybe? Heck, I'd settle for a decent vinyl toy version anytime - along with actual removable fabric clothes would be total-cool, IMHO! Along the lines of FERG's Project Squadt, innit? Inclusive of removable sneakers, I insist! But of coz i'm getting ahead of myself ... heh.
