Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Especially with ears like these.
Inspired by the raw energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Burro King transforms the humble donkey into a wild-eyed, crown-wearing icon of contemporary Western rebellion.

Part street art, part neo-expressionism, and entirely unapologetic, Burro King is a celebration of individuality, beautiful chaos, and the art of refusing to fit in.
Long live the king.
