The Art of Picking – Van Gogh by Po Yun Wang x Mighty Jaxx

Previous Next

‘Picky’ artist Po Yun Wang strikes again with his latest nose-picking take on a famous painter. The The Art of Picking – Van Gogh vinyl art toy from Mighty Jaxx features the celebrated painter of The Starry Night and Irises, minus his left ear (more on that in a second). As you might expect, the tortured artist is seen, in a quiet moment, picking his nose. Maybe we’re seeing this, but the shadow detailing on his jacket is somewhat reminiscent of the Starry Night brush strokes.

As with Po Yun Wang’s previous figures—first his fast-food forward Picky Eaters and now The Art of Picking—he’s created alternate, removable hands to bring out the figure’s personality. Van Gogh comes with four hands in all—standard, sunflower, paint brushes, and yes…bloody ear.

The The Art of Picking – Van Gogh vinyl art toy (7.1″) will be available for pre-order on Saturday (1.28) at 6 AM PDT from Mighty Jaxx for $149 and is slated to ship in June 2023.
