Todd James x BBC ICECREAM: when street art moves into your home

Step into the world of Todd James, one of the most distinctive figures of the New York art scene, reimagined by BBC ICECREAM, the cult brand founded by Pharrell Williams and NIGO. This collection brings together collector pieces where the raw energy of graffiti meets pop aesthetics and luxury streetwear. Genuine works of art in their own right, these creations turn an interior into a gallery and appeal to seasoned collectors and urban culture lovers alike. At MTHOR, every piece is carefully selected and authenticated by our team of experts before shipping, guaranteeing an original item delivered in pristine condition.

Todd James, aka REAS: from the New York subway to galleries worldwide

Born in 1969 in New York, Todd James grew up in 1980s Manhattan, at a time when graffiti covered the city's subway cars. Under the tag REAS, he became one of the most respected writers of that generation — the one that took graffiti from the tunnel to the canvas. His visual language is instantly recognizable: cartoonish characters, bright joyful colors, biting humor and a deliberate naivety that often conceals a critical eye on consumer society, power and war.

At the turn of the 2000s, Todd James took part in the cult Street Market installation alongside Barry McGee and Stephen Powers (ESPO), a landmark moment that pushed urban art into institutions. His work on the artwork and visuals for the Beastie Boys also helped make him known far beyond the art world. Now exhibited in galleries and collections around the globe, he remains one of the most credible bridges between the street and contemporary art — which makes every Todd James collaboration a sought-after object.

BBC ICECREAM: the streetwear empire of Pharrell and NIGO

Founded in 2003 by Pharrell Williams and NIGO (creator of A Bathing Ape), the Billionaire Boys Club / ICECREAM galaxy redefined high-end streetwear. Between BBC's iconic astronaut and ICECREAM's ice cream cones and dollar signs, the brand built a unique imagery blending space dreams, hedonism and hip-hop culture. Every drop is conceived as an event, and artist collaborations are at the heart of its DNA.

The meeting of BBC ICECREAM and Todd James felt natural: the same love of color, the same refusal to take things too seriously, the same roots in pop culture. The result? Pieces that are neither quite everyday objects nor quite gallery works, but a bit of both. It is precisely this hybrid quality — useful object, artwork status, collector value — that gives them their strength.

The 'James' Cookie Jar and the collection's signature pieces

The flagship piece of this collection is the BBCICECREAM x Todd James 'James' Cookie Jar, a collector cookie jar that turns a classic household object into a true pop sculpture. Featuring the artist's signature graphics and characters, this cookie jar is made as much to be displayed as to be used. Released in limited quantities, it is the kind of piece that gains value over time and becomes a statement in any interior.

Beyond the Cookie Jar, the collection showcases decorative and collector objects from the Todd James x BBC ICECREAM universe: ceramics, lifestyle accessories and limited editions designed for urban art enthusiasts. Every reference shares the same spirit: bringing graffiti and pop culture into everyday life, without ever taking itself too seriously.
