So this is how the story goes… I personally missed out on the original release of Bubi Au Yeungs “Whispering Spirit” and I jumped at the chance getting hold of the set after going on sale with the help of my friends Fluffy House. Seeing teaser shots on Instagram did not help my heart rate with the excitement and anticipation of the release, as I did not want to miss out this time round. Bubi Au Yeung the artist who created Treeson brings Whispering Spirit!
When Whispering Spirit was first released in 2012, only 100 pieces were made and the material is in Polystone.
In 2013, I lined up Crazylabel and KUSSO to start producing Whispering Spirit and I also designed 3 colorways and created 2 new characters: Forgotten Soul and Smiley Slow Soul.
It have been an unforgettable experience to make WS in vinyl, the final products took lot of time and efforts to make, and so happened that is also the final project by Crazylabel.
I am glad that 2 years effort paid off, I really like how WS turn out.
Here is the story and info:
Story of Whispering Spirit
Whispering Spirit talks to his best friend,
“the spirit”, a lot and relies on him very much.
“the spirit” is there for him always, especially when he got hurt or was lonely.
One thing Whispering Spirit doesn’t realize is, “the spirit” is just his imaginary friend, and what he has always counted on is actually his own self…A lot of times, we survived with our endurance’s backing, and nobody but us are our only best friends…
There are 3 boxes of WS as a set, the backpack and spirit are interchangeable among WS.
Whispering Spirit is around 3″ height, Smiley Slow Soul and Forgotten Soul are around 1.5″ height
