In 2012 the artist created 'Resting Place Companion', a play on the original 1999 Companion vinyl figure. An iconic and monumental appropriation, 'Companion Resting Place' slouches carefree in a moment of pensive stillness, with its body intersected, revealing a colourful cartoon rendering of its anatomy. KAWS' vinyl figures have been adapted across multiple mediums, whether in print, toy or in life-sized sculptural form, KAWS' adaptable 'Resting Place Companion' and 'Chum' inspires a growing dedicated following from all corners of the world.
