He used geometric patterns and hard-edged angles, combining the colors to bring a peaceful and calm balance within the design.

BABY MILO®️ BY A BATHING APE 10 ARTISTS 8” FIGURE BY ERIC HAZE

Eric’s piece is a translation of the piece of art that he created on the original larger form. Eric chose to do this one using a freehand brush style to represent the current direction of his artwork. He also started with some fingerprints and ended with some more fingerprints, adding his personal human touch and organic feeling to the design.

BABY MILO®️ BY A BATHING APE 10 ARTISTS 8” FIGURE BY STASH

The design concept was based on the original life-size sculpture. Before designing the toy version, Stash was asked to paint the life-size sculpture, which looked like a bronze statue that you might see in a park or something that would be on a fountain. Early in his career, when he first started using spray paint, he wrote on everything he could in parks, including sculptures. He therefore felt reminiscent of his youth using spray paint on this life-size sculpture, and this toy version is a reinterpretation of that graffitied figure.

£149

Available in bundle set of 10 and individual set. The BABY MILO®️ BY A BATHING APE 10 Artists 8” Figure Collection will be released on May 14th at UK.BAPE.COM and BAPE STORE® LONDON.
