Designer Drugs debuted in 2013 at DOC's solo show in Los Angeles. Three sizes were created, 6 packs (drug store), 4 packs (convenience store soft pack), and single soft packs (to-go), with various brand names over the years.
Irony has been a staple of DOC works, and this series cemented DOC into popular culture. Hundreds of articles, interviews, and copycats followed this explosive series of handmade sculptures.
Commercial fabrication techniques are used to hammer home the underlying dark tones of our society's addictions.
This is a handmade sculpture. Each is made one at a time. Clean with a dry cloth. Do not use a cleaning solution. Keep out of direct sunlight to ensure color for years to come. Do not pick up or handle the stick. Always pick up the base of the sculpture.
