After graduating from college, Kaws worked informally for Disney Company and MTV TV station. Later, with the help of his friends, he ventured to inject his skull tracing elements into advertising posters of bus stops and telephone booths in new york. Since then, KAWS has become famous. In fact, Kaws has been interested in graffiti since 12 years old, but it was not until 199 1 As mentioned earlier, Kaws is different from ordinary people doodling on walls, MRT and trains. However, he added his famous skull and cross graffiti patterns to advertising paintings or posters (such as DKNY and Calvin Klein). He usually takes the poster back to the studio for processing and then sends it to the original place. Because of this, he is also called "graffiti thief". Moreover, his works were quickly replaced by staff, so they were particularly precious. But after Kaws became famous, smart advertisers took the initiative to send advertisements "graffiti" to Kaws. The first thing to do is diesel, which focuses on the young market. After that, Kaws held an exhibition in Paris and launched a collection of works. Japanese magazines also strongly recommended it and even released an album for him. KAWS slowly walked into the orthodox art hall. Now, the market price of KAWS works has reached as high as $30,000. In fashion, Kaws also designs clothes for popular street brands such as Coverage and realmad Hetic. In terms of music, KAWS recently designed CD covers for Toady's "Cute Robot" and "Robot King Kong". Now Kaws's main achievement is still to spare no effort to let graffiti art enter temples and life. Even if Kaws is very popular now, it thinks that the scenery is only the past and cannot be repeated, so it has been trying to find a breakthrough. Perhaps this is the problem that street art should pay more attention to if it wants to survive and develop than other art fields. As a trend brand, Kaws has a wide influence in Be@rBrick and Ya Wang, among which the second generation is more eye-catching and leads the trend of the new generation. After becoming famous, Kaws was often invited by all parties to hold solo exhibitions, and not only continued to create Kaws-style "spoofs" in various places, but also opened Kaws solo exhibitions in London, new york, Tokyo and other places, and launched a collection of Kaws works. The companion series and Bendy series born in the creation have become more classic and unique creative elements of Kaws.

In terms of music, Kaws also designed CD covers for A-list stars, such as SWEET ROBOTSAGANST THE MACHINE by Towetei, CHERIE and Kanye West by Bape.
