+ OVERVIEW
Brian Donnelly, also known as KAWS, is one of the most popular street artists in recent years. Born in New Jersey in 1974, he graduated from the Manhattan School of Visual Arts. His earliest street art was mostly created across large surfaces, such as walls, billboards, and the sides of cargo trucks. KAWS made his iconic skulls and bones and XX marks starting with the graffiti on the Marlboro advertising billboard in 1996. In the same year, he also began to create small-scale advertising posters, such as those in ad spaces at bus stops and on the sides of traditional phone booths. In 1997, after receiving numerous invitations from publications and commercial brands, his works began appearing on magazine covers and fashion advertisements.
