Kaws Light Bulbs

Kaws Light Bulbs

In his paintings and limited-edition toys, Brian Donnelly, a Brooklyn-based artist who goes by the name of KAWS, frequently riffs on cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob SquarePants, and the Simpsons, crossing out their eyes with X’s. For his latest project, Mr. Donnelly set his sights on a more utilitarian target: the incandescent bulb. [gallery link=”file” exclude=6150] The Standard’s series of artist editions continues with Brooklyn-based artist, KAWS. This is a limited, but non-numbered edition of 1,000 sets that contain 3 bulbs each, of one bulb in each color: red, purple and green. Price $65,- The 3 watt bulbs have a warm low glow. Dimensions of each globe is about 4.75” x 2.25” and they screw into any standard incandescent fixture. 120 volts. We love how they look on a light string using multiple sets. The bulbs are individually boxed with a KAWS and The Standard sticker and then wrapped again in an outer box that holds all three, also co-branded.
