KANO



KaNO is a New York City artist who is quite the jack of all trades when it comes to design. His name has been attached to a variety of different projects including commercial design, graphic novels, animation and most recently, vinyl toys. His custom work on platform toys such as Kidrobot’s Munny have been displayed in many gallery shows and are highly praised by the toy community. Heavily influenced by classic cartoons and animation, KaNO’s art, both illustration and toy, share a common aesthetic that is playful and nostalgic. He is currently in the process of releasing his new vinyl toy design, a little tough mini-juice jug and spray-paint hybrid called Bodega, which will be a limited edition of three hundred.
