The character stands with a stark white flat-top head, paint-drip-covered gloves, a red NY FAT chest patch, cargo pants, and a spray-can accessory placed at the base. Lau launched the Gardener series in 1999 as a satirical portrait of Hong Kong street culture, and the NY FAT character has become the visual anchor of his global collaborative output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanied by original packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Lau Kin-man (b. 1970, Hong Kong) is internationally recognized as the \"Godfather of Designer Toys\" and the founder of the urban vinyl style within the art-toy movement.
