Snarky Spraycan Figurines

STRANGEco and Shepard Fairey Collaborate for Consumers

— March 25, 2012 — Pop Culture
Manufacturer and distributor STRANGEco has teamed up with artist Shepard Fairey to produce 'Mr. Spray,' a vinyl spray can figurine.

STRANGEco is a San Francisco-based company that prides itself on producing high-quality, one-of-a-kind consumer products. Shepard Fairey is the artist who originally came up with the concept of Mr. Spray back in 2004. Eight years later the concept is realized through vinyl.

The figurine is a snarky-looking, self-assured little can with a sharp taste in footwear. One gets the sense that Mr. Spray is out to tag something. Perhaps this is a case of the artist speaking through his work.

The figurine would look great on a bookshelf, desk or street corner. It would also make an excellent gift for any friends who enjoys writing on walls.
Trend Themes
1. Vinyl Figurines - The rise of vinyl figurines as a collectible medium presents opportunity for further collaboration with artists and designers.
