The Michael Lau’s garden(palm)er 1/12 scale figure series is so sick and so HipHop, I wish I had the ends to collect them all!! I don’t even know where to begin with describing this series so I’ll just post the official description via the OneSixthBruce FB Page
OSB brings you Michael Lau’s garden(palm)er brought to life by How2Work!
“Gardener”, the most known series of 12” action figure art was first brought to the world by Lau in 1999 at the Hong Kong Arts Centre. Merging his passion to the 12” action figure a well as drawing inspiration from the booming street culture then, Michael brought to life 99 characters in the Gardener series on Sep 29th, 1999. The world witnessed the birth of a new form of Art and the Gardener had since inspired the whole Vinyl Art Toy movement around the globe.
“Gardener” embraces factual and fictional characters, Lau created to live this imaginary “Garden”. Every Gardener has his or her own character, own passion, own language and most importantly an attitude towards life that signifies different facet of the street culture world.
