Specialist note

“[I] found it weird how infused a cartoon could become in people's lives; the impact it could have, compared to regular politics” he once said. (KAWS, quoted in an interview with Healy & Murray, "Graffiti Artist Turned Gallery Artist Turned Art Toy Maker, KAWS" Pop, February 2007, pp. 260-265).
