The Munny Show by Ami Kealoha
Theses two pictures are Cool Hunting exclusives, images of Munnies (covered Dave White (left) and the Brooklyn-based Tara McPherson (right) for the launch of Kid Robot's new DIY toy. In an event bringing together over 200 artist, designer, and celebrity contributors, each participant makes a Munny over for an auction at simultaneous parties in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco this Thursday November 3rd to benefit children affected by Hurricane Katrina. With entries ranging from the likes of M.I.A. to Takashi Murakami, as these pics show, it's a diverse line-up benefitting a good cause.
RSVP for the parties through Kid Robot.
