….and the above is my contribution to OVERSTAYER’s latest collection, the idea came from an afternoon of chitchat with Kaps, about toys, art and his projects, most of you may not know that he is a HUGE toy collector! so its pretty easy for me to design a tee for him, we went for a toy concept with Samoa flavor, turning him into a toy-like figure, and referencing my Maori Warrior toy, the result = Lil’ Kaps.

you can BUY THIS TEE from plantation store now! :-)
