"KAWS: FAMILY explores the playful and poignant artistic universe created by KAWS. Marking KAWS’s first major museum exhibition on the West Coast, KAWS: FAMILY traces the artist’s output over the past three decades through its keen ability to connect to shared emotions and culture. From paintings, drawings, and sculptures to advertising interventions, product collaborations, and collectible toys, visitors will encounter the many creative expressions of KAWS’s distinctive language using recurring characters and pop culture appropriations." - Description from SFMOMA exhibition website

Michael would like to invite you, PRS members and arts community, to visit his 3000 square foot art studio in Sebastopol, which he completed in 2024. His studio was constructed to be fire safe, sound proof, and environmentally friendly. Michael created the space so that the can work any time day or night without disturbing the neighbors. It is always amazing to see how others set up their creative spaces and what the site does to motivate or sustain them as an artist. Featured is a large CNC router, which Michael uses extensively in his practice.
