KAWS gives a huge amount of personal time, art, and money to charities, he just doesn't go out and advertise the fact that he does it. I am not that into The Connor Brothers, but it seems they are doing their part too. 6 months ago they helped raise ยฃ80k for CALM. Just brought it up because the whole thing seemed a bit unfair to me. hanguppictures.com/blog-post/the-connor-brothers-at-bonhams-for-calm |

new KAWS charity print , by Alfonzo Conzeta on Apr 16, 2020 15:06:50 GMT 1, Congrats!! All Kaws' print releases have always been wire transfer only. They all appear to be cutouts from The Tension portfolio.
these prints are definitively no cutouts. please have a closer detail-look at the edges - they are coloured too and seems to be made in high quality printing technique
I have the MOCAD cutout at home and the edges are really cut and not coloured...

Oh, I'm sorry, is this the original shape the paper was created in?? Just because they did a better job with the "cutout" doesn't change what it is. I'm not knocking them but you can see where the patterns match the Tension prints. Doesn't mean they literally grabbed a tension scrap and used scissors |

Wow! Incredible eye! Are the original Tension prints really that large? Meaning, if someone were to cut that tension print into 3 shapes, would they be the same size as the charity releases?

How many of the tension prints are sitting around to be cut up between these releases and the mocad ones? Must have performed very poorly?

Print runs are usually 20-30% over the ordered run.
This is done in case there are some with lil screen errors etc.
Sometimes they turn into gift prints or extra AP's...I've also seen them turned into the recycling bin.
They didn't cut these prints from the regular edition.

How many of the tension prints are sitting around to be cut up between these releases and the mocad ones? Must have performed very poorly? All the Tensions were sold.. these are from the reject pile. KAWS did a huge number of test prints before he got the colours just right on these. Apparently it took months to get it perfect. |

The printers who did the tension set are extremely well known and have been around for a very long time. They also have done a lot of prints for some very big artists as well. I believe they did a few of the pace prints as well. They are one of the best printers in the art world. If you know someone close to the KAWS group they can tell you who they are. KAWS did not print tension with a new printing company and didnโt print them in house.

I'm still beyond shocked that my friend got picked out of what had to have been thousands of emails given how much press the charity prints have gotten over the last week. Now to help sort out how to frame it which should be fun.
