KAWS’ Companion is one of the most iconic figures created by the artist Brian Donnelly, known as KAWS. The Companion character features a cartoon-like figure with a skull-shaped head, crossed-out eyes, and gloved hands, resembling classic animation characters but with a distinct melancholic and introspective expression. Since its debut in the late 1990s, Companion has been released in various forms, including vinyl toys, large-scale sculptures, and limited-edition collaborations. The character is often depicted in different poses, such as covering its face in distress, reclining, floating, or standing tall, reflecting themes of isolation, vulnerability, and contemplation. I’m a surrealist. I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso. There I was trained as a renaissance painter for two years and found my fields of choice: Print Making and Graphic Design. By the time I graduated I had a double major first in Graphic Design and the other in Printmaking with an emphasis in color theory.
