"Tuesday" by Compton III
TOYNEWS SUBMISSION: Introducing "Tuesday" by Compton III. First teased around Halloween last year, "Tuesday" is the 3rd installment in the SPY BOY universe. No resin edition release date is currently determined, so do stay connected to Instas @compton.iii and @spacebroccoli.usa for updates. Meanwhile, scroll thru for images and text from his creator, cheers.
PRODUCT TEXT: Have you seen the New Orleans Pelicans new city edition jerseys and basketball court? Check out Tuesday pictured in the Blender (Smoothie King Center). Both Compton and the Pels were inspired to release tributes to a 100+ year old cultural group in New Orleans known as the Northside Skull and Bones Gang.
Aesthetically a bit different in design to his counterparts (SPY BOY & Z'Bo) Tuesday combines history, cyber mechanics, mysticism, afrofuturism, and modern fashion. A cyberpunk skeleton with antennas disguised as locs/wicks, wearing a new take on the Dickie fit and a nod to designer sneakers & 90s cross trainers alike.
Tuesday is a visual response to the question, "How will the youth continue New Orleans cultural legacy?" By giving a glimpse into what a skull and bones member could look like in the distant future.
New milestone unlocked! A museum feature! On display in the New Orleans African American Museum, for the first time in Compton's career, a larger version of "Tuesday" along with "Bruh Did That?!" are a part of the Proof of Life exhibit by Abstract NOLA. The exhibit is now showing until January 28th.
