I collaborated with one of my favorite artists Brian McCarty on this limited edition Dumpster Fire photo print.
Brian McCarty is an accomplished photographer known for his distinct work with toys. His preferred approach is to integrate toy characters into real-life situations through the use of forced perspective, which I thought would be a perfect fit for the Lil Dumpster.
Brian created this adorable and ultra-timely image in December 2019 in the back alleys of Chinatown, Los Angeles.
