Introducing Look Keys (May 3rd Drop)
WHAT-IS: Brand-new lifestyle brand Look Keys (@LookKeys) is poised to unleash a collection of Art Keys featuring artists familiar to our (toy&art) scene - featuring ready-to-cut house keys (that can be used in place of the standard, plain metal keys) - showcasing designs from a total of 16 names, including; Alex Pardee, Amanda Louise Spayd, Amanda Visell, Andrea Kang, Chris RWK, Chris Ryniak, Greg 'Craola' Simkins, Hyperactive Monkey, Jermaine Rogers, Joe Ledbetter, J*RYU, Julie West, kaNO, Reactor-88, Sket-One and Yoskay Yamamoto.
Curated by Jack Muramatsu (of Vinyl Pulse), with a launch scheduled for Friday May 3rd at 12 PM PDT on LookKeys.com. I'll take a closer look/reveal of said key designs on Friday ... meanwhile, here is a teaser and a word on HOW the keys works!
ABOUT LOOK-KEYS: "The keys are open-run, retail for $10 and are available in two different key types (Schlage and Kwikset) which covers about 95% of USA household locks. Once someone purchases a key, they can take it to a hardware store to have it made into a copy of their existing plain key and from then on, have one of the best-looking keys out there. Unlike most decorated keys which feature designs printed/applied directly to the key surface, Look Keys feature a semi-rigid clear resin dome that protects the art. After a few months of use, these Art Keys look great, while the designs on the printed ones start to look worse and worse as bits of the design rub off or fade. "
