Beside the bright paintings and plush figures runs a quieter strand of drawing, where the figure is built up from thousands of short, nervous strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTote B belongs to that strand. The Companion sits on the lower half of the front panel in black line alone, gloved hands, round feet and head modelled with dense cross-hatching that catches the weave of the canvas. Inside the opening a cream band is printed with the KAWS name in black and a small round museum mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is described as bought at a sculpture museum in the United Kingdom in 2016 and kept in storage.
