Artist Series: kaNO from IHCS on Vimeo. It’s been ages since we’ve been able to deliver an Artist Series, but thanks to kaNO for granting us some time– here we are. Our interview with kaNO was the first that happened on the move. We started out in Dumbo, Brooklyn– one of my favorite areas in [...]

It seems that there’s a Pee-Wee Herman bug going around. Several days ago kaNO [Left] tweeted about a custom he just “whipped” up during the holidays– and just recently, Helena Garcia [Above] tweeted her latest commissioned peice, which happens to also feature Pee-Wee. Both peices are awesome. Shockingly enough, Kidrobot’s head really does capture the [...]

For a while now, kaNO has been dropping sneak peeks of his upcoming Hi-Def figure and it had many of us curious about what exactly it would be. On Friday, during ToyQube’s Grand Re-Opening party, I was lucky enough to see the upcoming NYCC black colorway Hi-Def! pictured above. I’m thinking that I’ll definitely want [...]

This past Friday, one of my favorite artists, kaNO! dropped his latest vinyl figure: Bodega. I’d been posting about Bodega’s upcoming release for a while and on Friday with DJ and artist on hand for sketches, it finally hit the streets!

My Plastic Heart 210 Forsyth Street It’s official, kaNO’s second coming has arrived and has been crunched down to a 6″ figure better known as: Bodega.

It seems Gallery 1988 (seriously, when is it not them? They need to move to NY, they’re always having a show of some sort) is having a show titled: Monster Art Rally. You can tell from the name that monsters will be involved and they’ll come in vinyl and plushy form, woohoo! Pictured above is [...]

I hope what I’m about to say doesn’t just apply to the New Yorkers in the house; but, who grew up drinking $.25 juices? The term “juice” is being used very loosely here. Quarter juices were all the rage back in the day, and kaNO’s Bodega [referencing the shops that sold the juices] is really [...]

I believe kaNO!’s (((Hi-Def))) has been circulating the internet already. When I first peeped the image, I was a little bit confused because there was a Sharky in the shot and I wasn’t sure which piece was kaNO’s. Silly me. After some clarification, I have to say I’m excited. So far, whatever it is, already [...]

So on Thursday I went to the kaNO release party held at Plan B. It just so happens that the bar is extremely close to my home, so there were no excuses. The event was to both celebrate the release of The Black Book and Citizen Kano: The Art of the Hussle. Both artists are [...]

So, I am so very close to telling you where I live with this information- but not close enough. I just read that kaNO is going to be in my neighborhood on Thursday! Check out the flyer: I must say, I almost feel like they’re catering to my needs. That is the same day as [...]
