Daft Punk x Coca Cola

Following the last post about Daft Punk's helmets, here is the latest update on other DP stuff. Via Pitchfork and Spaceghetto, Daft Punk is collaborating with Coca Cola to produce their own collectible bottle design which probably will be known as 'Daft Coke' or 'Club Coke'. How cool is that?! Love DP, Love Coke. Not much information about it yet and I don't even know whether it is believable or not. There's even this website www.daftcoke.com which could be the official page for the product but there's nothing in there yet.


The bottles will come in 2 colorways and they are likely to be inspired by the Daft Punk helmets. Besides that, you can be sure that the package for these two bottles will be nicely designed too. Drink from DaftCoke and you might get derezzed.

I have to get this off my chest! It all began yesterday when i saw a post on Andy’s toysrevil blog, www.toysrevil.blogspot.com and there I saw these new dissected apes! Oh Man! The newest Kaws and Bape collaboration, these cute and gruesome but somehow these yougottagetoneassoonyouseeit somehow cast me in a trance(Don’t bother to ask me how) but the more I look at them the more my heart itches..so....i have a quick read thru and I noticed Toyqube selling them! Yes! Gotta get me one of these and somehow I end up on the toyqube website:

WOaaah! i will leave you guys to guess what i did next :)

so, this brings me to why I started this post..

Brian Donnelly or better known as KAWS is someone who inspired us(Jorge and me) way back. He makes the impossible possible and he’s now one of the most influential person in the world. Dreams do happen if you stay fire and never give up on it!

Going from bus stop to phone booth advertisements and subversting imagery. These reworked advertisements became a hit and became increasingly sought afterranging from Bape, Comme des Garcons, Vans and many more. Later KAWS start to design and produced very limited toys which became a hit through out the world. He has reworked on many famous cartoon and movie characters from Disney, Starwars and The Michelin Man! He also started his own brand OriginalFake which collaborated with many famous brands as well!
