Kid Acne: knitting graffiti
I find the link between art and craft interesting, especially when it is taken into a more 'street' type of art. Kid Acne's patterns for knitting are always funny, and cute at the same time, depending on how much you, as the knitter, want to engage with the process he has gone through.
The first pattern of his I came across was the 'Foggy Panda', available in Rowan Magazine 38. It is still on my 'to knit' list.
I've recently come across his 'fox fur', in image rather than pattern form, but it's an interesting idea, especially when seen with the warrior woman sketch.
And if you're interested, a pattern for his 'Owl' tank top is available from the 'Peter and Paul' website.- see sketches on 'knitting poster' image below.
Clockwise from top: Kid Acne sketches, warrior woman with fox; Kid Acne 'fox fur' top; Kid Acne 'knitting poster'; Kid Acne/Rowan 'Foggy Panda'
Edited to add:
I forgot the Rowan 39 Kid Acne Seahorse!
