THIS IS NOT A TOY.
THEvs.YOU is the visualisation of a positive Virus which lives within of each of us – it`s literally just waiting to get activated.
The 100% HANDMADE vs.YOU mascot is bureaucratically marked as an desktop-item.
Within this official declaration FLATAU goes deeper and defines the vs.YOU as an modern interpretation of the probably most classic desktop-item, the post-it.
„When ever you find yourself in visual contact or find yourself thinking about the vs.YOU, it is not only meant to remember you of what your Dreams & Goals are further more ment to motivate you in fighting for them, as hard as you can_“
He compares life with the situation in a boxring, where you are suppose to:
„ STEP OUT OF YOUR CORNER, MASTER YOUR CHALLENGE.“
The only attitude to survive times like these.
WARNING
RISKS OF FULLFILLED DREAMS COME TRUE BY BELIEVING INTO YOURSELF, TROUGH USEING THE POWER OF THE vs.YOU, ARE NOT TAKEN AT ANY TIME!

ARTIST/DESIGNER
SHAWN/THESIGNER is a Munich based Graffiti-Writer since 1998, who has grown from Graffiti to Design. His recent works concentrate on the evolution of Graffiti, communicateing in a very abstract and within the second read, deeply thought provocateing way, searching and defineing new boundaries, always strongly related to the real-world.
Today he is more recently useing the name FLATAU troughout his professional work as an cardesigner. After his daily studio-output, which is all highly confidential, he tries hard to keep his private projects up and runnin` . HERE you can get an impression on some of his automotive works as a student and semi-professional freelance contracts.
The vs.YOU started as an private project back in 2003, as a first step for him communicateing a specific essence within an sculpture. Over the years the story around the 100% hand-made resin-figurine grew and pushed him to share his attitude with an broader audience. This motivation leaded him finally to produce this very small number of only 288.vs.YOU`s, offered to you today!
