Lad & Dog Set #6 Smile

Chaz and Bob founded The London Police in 1998. Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1977, they have now been based in Amsterdam for over a decade. From 2000, the duo collaborated with a third member, Garrett Chow, however when the group disbanded mid-decade, Chaz continued The London Police alone. Bob’s recent return to the collective signaled a new beginning in the history of The London Police and 2009 has proven to be their finest year to date. The London Police have developed a clean, distinct, and highly recognizable style over the years. The sensory thrill of their work is influenced in part by technology and science fiction, the magic of the cinema, and the empowering nature of the urban environment. Their interest in artistic identity and branding and ability to reappropriate and remix likens their style to that of Takeshi Murakami, while the iconic function of the LADS, on the other hand, is not dissimilar to Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. In August 2002, adFunture Workshop released its first designer vinyl figure in Hong Kong and began its irreplaceable role within international designer figure movement. Graffiti artists, visual designers, art collectors became the company's creative force, supporters and customers. adFunture has grown to be the embodiment of designer figure culture, playing an integral part in its revolution. While it has grew into a Shanghai institution with both its global headquarter and factory setup in the vibrant city, adFunture also established itself internationally as a brand known for quality, styles and attitude. In the past 5 years, adFunture has worked with some of the most groundbreaking designers and artists of our generation, and it expects to expand the list with its setup of adFunture Europe in London.Interchangeable heads.
