Stash started painting graffiti in New York City in the early 80s. A pivotal figure of the East Village scene of that period, Stash exhibited canvases alongside pop art pioneers such as Jean-Michel Basquiat starting at the early age of 17. While many of his contemporaries turned to gallery art, Stash continued working on the subway system until 1987. In the late 1990s, he began collaborating on street art-inspired fashion with the likes of Nike and [Bathing Ape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-milo-1). These wooden spray cans are a reminder of the iconic nature of Stash's work. Created by Japanese toy company [Medicom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jackson-pollock-studio), they retail at $580 per decorative spray can. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Commemorative Collectibles:** Creating commemorative items can be a valuable opportunity for artists and brands to celebrate their legacy and create demand among collectors. - **Art-inspired Fashion Collaborations:** Art and fashion collaborations can create unique offerings for consumers and increase brand awareness for both parties involved. - **Luxury Decorative Items:** Creating luxury decorative items can be an opportunity for companies to target high-end consumers with a love for art and design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Collectibles:** The collectibles industry can benefit from creating limited edition or commemorative pieces that celebrate legendary artists and designers. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can collaborate with artists to create unique and art-inspired collections that appeal to a wider demographic. - **Luxury Home Decor:** The luxury home decor industry can create high-end decorative items that can become sought-after collectibles for art and design enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sneaker-Honoring Furniture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernica-x-stash.md) - [Spray Can Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-aboard.md) - [Film-Themed Spray Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloakwork.md) - [Spoof Sparkling Water Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-of-art.md) - [70s-Themed Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corduroy-bearbrick.md) - [Limited-Edition Cannabis Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1000-stash-boxes.md) - [Museum-Approved Artist Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-of-graffiti.md) - [Solid Wooden Collaborative Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cul-de-sac-japon-x-karimoku-furniture.md) - [Stackable Blue-Tonal Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modernica.md)
