Kano taps into Bumblebee’s love of loud music for his new vinyl art toy of the popular Transformer from Unruly Industries. Stepping away from the fight and onto the stage, Optimus Prime’s trusted lieutenant goes into MC mode, with kangol-style hat, gold chain and of course, a mic to drop rhymes. While we haven’t seen his dance moves, the gold ‘BB’ on the front of the VW just might be doing double duty, for Bumblebee and BBoy.
 
kaNO’s design adds an old-school black + white vibe with Bumblebee’s classic black and yellow style. Cleverly playing off the Transformers concept, the interior portion of the Autobot’s feet reveal a classic black + white sneaker design. The old-school vibe continues with ‘kaNO’ in stylized lettering on the license plant in front and on the hood in the rear. kaNO finishes the design with his signature, stylized ‘K’ on the hat.
 
Born and raised on the streets of New York City, kaNO discovered art at a very early age. The graffiti on the walls and the cartoons on the TV set the tone for a creative childhood. 
 
In true city kid fashion, kaNO graduated from the High School of Art & Design and went on to obtain a BFA in Animation at the School of Visual Arts in 1999. From the silver screen to galleries and even onto toy shelves across the world, kaNO's style is distinctly recognizable as his own. As his creative pursuits expand so does his ever growing list of clients and exhibitions. 
 
In 2010, kaNO moved out to Los Angeles with his family, where he freelances as a character designer for such studios as Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, and Hasbro. When he's not making cartoons, you can find him working on paintings, commissions, and designing product for his brand 'kaNO kid' at his art studio in Burbank, CA.
