The Kaws:Holiday series takes to the skies once again, this time looming over the United Kingdom for its sixth stop. Fuelled by @arr.allrightsreserved, the inflatable brainchild of American artist @kaws has taken flight to kick off a world tour set for the latter part of the year. Standing at a staggering 42-meters, the COMPANION measures up to be one of the largest hot air balloons in the world, and will officially welcome passengers in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Step in a splash of 80s pop art with the newest of the @converse x @keithharingfoundation lineup bearing the artist’s most recognisable graphics and motifs.

“For the first time, Haring’s iconic drawings will be translated on Converse footwear and apparel. Classics like the Chuck 70, Chuck Taylor All Star and Pro Leather as well as the style-forward Run Star Hike, will pay homage to his iconic drawings chalked on the vacant billboards of the New York subway. You can also make your mark and customize your own with Converse By You.”

Converse x Keith Haring, available online.

Hate crimes against Asians have always been a prevalent, ongoing issue faced by the AAPI community far and wide, but a global pandemic has exacerbated the rate of which we’ve stared at these heinous headlines in horror. Asian American deaths have gone up by as much as 110% in 2020 as compared to previous years, as a result of the virus and the intensification of racism and xenophobia.

In a bid to bring such pressing matters to light, @wyclefjean and @iammcjin have joined forces to release Stop the Hatred, a push for equality for all, in partnership with The Asian American Foundation.

Indonesian graffiti artist @crack_ dives into the dystopian future of ₵ryptopolis with the welcome of Mr. ₿iT₵y, the part-spray can character of the Crypto World. Though the digital art piece has been snapped up, keep an eye out for more quirky residents of Crack’s neon universe on @superrare.co.

As if the PS5 wasn’t hard enough to get your hands on, @nike and @sony have partnered up for a @playstation 5-inspired pair of a Nike Paul George 5- the PG 5 PlayStation 5. Created alongside PS5 console designer Yujin Morisawa, the sneakers bear the futuristic elements of the latest Playstation device; a largely monochromatic colourway with touches of blue lighting and the PlayStation shapes inscribed along the shoe, not dissimilar to the surface of the DualSense wireless controllers.

Gracing the walls of the newest @shakeshacksg outlet in town, @tobyato’s hand-painted mural livens up the fast food diner through swirling colours inspired by the location’s history. The piece throws back to the days of the memorable Great World amusement park featuring an entanglement of roller coasters and ferris wheels in vibrant hues.

“Shake shack engages a different local artist to collaborate with each new outlet. I was fortunate enough to be selected as the 6th local artist to work on the Great World outlet,” shares the Singaporean artist.

“The Child” for Misappropriatedicon 4, by @jaredcircusbear. The cuteness is strong with this one.

“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.”

A Chat With Licensed Star Wars Artist Rodel Gonzalez. Manila-born, Florida-based @rodelgonzalez has had many achievements in his life, including being part of Manila’s longest-standing band Side A and getting selected as one of the very few licensed @starwars artists in 2008. It’s clear to see that artistic passion for him comes from deep within. That, and having painter’s blood in his veins, passed down from generations of creatives in his family.
