The one and only Sket One is back. The world-renowned artist recently announced the limited release of “Greaper” with IAmRetro. “Greaper” is a darker take and perspective of a vinyl collectible toy with a graffiti touch. The painter, illustrator, and designer, Sket began his career in the late ’80s. In 2003 he started designing toys and vinyl figure toys for the likes of Superplastic, Kidrobot, 3-D Retro, Red Magic, and more.
He has also exhibited his custom work on canvas all around the world. He recently spoke about the new vinyl figure. Sket stated: “Greaper is the reaper of the souls of spent Spray Cans, and it is here to collect.” He went on to add, “As a graffiti writer just wanted to mix spray paint with something fun and dark.” With an edition of only 777 available worldwide, the “Greaper” vinyl figure is a must-have collectible. During NTWRK’s first-ever Unboxed Festival on the NTWRK app, the figure was available and marks Sket One’s first toy produced by IAmRetro.
Check out the design in the images below and head over to the NTWRK app to find out more about the design now. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more collectibles and art news coming soon.
