Arkiv Instant is the first vinyl figure from designer Rushhead. The Indonesian based artist is teaming up with Tummytoy, who will manufacture the piece. Look for Arkiv to be available in June 2008. In the prototype stage, it’s looking a little like a KAWS piece.
Arkiv is initially a half animal and a half dream. A blend of an overweight panda and a killer whale that trying hard to be Gene Simmons (look at his tongue). His only noticeable skill is his impressive ability to sleep longer than any creation that the world has ever seen. During his childhood, he was repeatedly harassed by bullies because of his overweight looks, and he began to hate everything around him. Since then, everything is BROOTTT to him. One day he was watching TV as usual, and caught a program about 100 best places in the world on Discovery channel. He was inspired and his dream is bigger now than only be able to spend a lazy afternoon alone at home. Even though he still sweats his butts when he’s nervous, he has finally made a friend, an Indonesian rhino that happened to be overweight as well and have a big tummy named Jouwe. Now he starts to develop his strength to transform his body to other animal character or even human, only his face will remain the same. His ultimate goal is to be known around the world soon, and although he hates to become famous but that’s the only way he can think, so he can travel and visit those places he’s seen on TV.
