1xRUN Thru Interview
Bunny Kitty by Persue

1xRun: Tell us a little bit about this icon, when did it begin and what’s the story behind it?
Persue: Bunny Kitty and her universe were created over 10 years ago. I wanted to create an icon and story that would reach a larger demographic than my graffiti art might. So I invented a world and cast of characters that interact with Bunny Kitty on her adventures in the post apocalypse story. In this series characters that have yet to be introduced are doing so through these one off hand painted paintings. Bunny Kitty’s crush Dee Dee Meow the guitarist for the Slugganauts is being introduced as well as the Siamese twin back up singers Michelle Michelle.

1xRun: Tell us how the idea and execution came about?
Persue: The execution came about after my trip to Pow Wow Hawaii. I depicted this cast of characters in a floating serine Rainbow Bridge in collaboration with my friend Slick. I wanted to keep that style in these pieces. The characters are depicted in a dream state.
