Beginning at just 14, the Brooklyn-raised artist found himself tagging New York's vast subway network adding his hidden (‘stashed away’) messages and now-iconic signature to any surface that he saw fit. It's a scene in which he soon gained prominence, leading to him exhibiting alongside Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat at the age of 17 before exposing his art far beyond the borders of the New York capital, landing in places such as Paris, Stockholm and Kyoto. | | Over time, however, his practice has expanded and developed to include wider pursuits, thanks to his innate ability to seamlessly blend his creative practice with commercial products — this also helped shine a light on graffiti culture at a time when it was strictly underground. His role in the street art scene is part of what inspired Leica to tap him for this three-way link-up. The two have worked together in the past, but it goes deeper than that — it was the first non-film camera that Stash bought for himself "circa 2000." | | "Lightweight and compact, the collaborative Leica D-Lux 7 fuses first-class optics and high-end technology into a compact body, making it the perfect daily companion for street photographers on the move," explains David Suh. | | It's all camo everything for BAPE's 28th anniversary with these limited edition Be@rbricks. A nod to the streetwear juggernaut’s rich history, each iteration of everyone's favorite Medicom Toy figure is done up in various colors of its signature camouflage. | | | |
