Published by Kawsone, Brooklyn — KAWS's own imprint, established to distribute his early print editions directly — in an edition of just 50, this work predates by years the global market recognition that would make his editions some of the most commercially sought-after in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe \"Chum\" character — one of KAWS's earliest and most personally significant creations, the companion figure whose X-crossed eyes and simplified cartoon anatomy would evolve over the following decade into the globally recognised Companion — is depicted here in motion, running, the energy and spontaneity of the street-art context from which KAWS emerged still entirely present in the composition. The Arches 88 paper — a premium unsized cotton rag historically associated with screenprinting, valued for its ability to absorb ink without bleed while maintaining the flatness essential to KAWS's graphic vocabulary — gives the impression a surface quality and an archival stability that distinguish it from the ephemeral street materials of his earlier practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt this stage of his career, KAWS was still working in the intimate Brooklyn milieu that shaped his sensibility — producing editions by hand, distributing them through his own channels, maintaining the DIY ethics of the street art world while developing the studio discipline that would carry him into major gallery representation and international institutional recognition. An edition of 50 from the year 2000 — signed, dated, and numbered by the artist — is among the scarcest categories of KAWS's published work, and this impression comes from a private collection, adding a further layer of documented provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ Contact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"collection KAWS\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/kaws?_pos=2\u0026amp;_psq=kaws\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003e➡️ See all available works by KAWS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original KAWS screenprint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original screenprint on Arches 88, signed, dated and numbered \"KAWS 00 \/50\" by the artist, from an edition of 50 published by Kawsone, Brooklyn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e50 impressions — among the smallest editions in KAWS's early publishing history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Kawsone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKawsone was KAWS's own Brooklyn-based publishing imprint — the vehicle through which he distributed his early print editions directly, maintaining the independence and the DIY ethics of the street art context from which he emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Chum character?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChum is one of KAWS's earliest original characters — a precursor to the Companion, with the X-crossed eyes and simplified cartoon anatomy that would become his most recognisable visual signature.
