The Biggest of the Big, A True Crescent City Shot Caller, Has Arrived as an Art Toy “Z’Bo”

 

New Orleans- Compton III’s debut original art toy, SPY BOY, has some company with the arrival of his potna, Z’Bo! Though this superstar towers over SPY BOY in height, he shares the kindred spirit of a New Orleans legend. Word around the barbershop is that Z’Bo holds the key to the city. Laced with bold hues and accent pieces tinted with 24karat gold color, you might as well refer to him as Mr. New Orleans— the biggest of big, Crescent City true shot caller. 

 

Z'Bo is the latest art toy from Compton’s featured series including his debut original art toy titled, SPY BOY. On Saturday, July 30, 2022, Axiom Art Gallery will host the official release of the original art toy, Z’Bo, by Compton III in New Orleans, Louisiana. A limited quantity of signed pieces will be available for sale in person at the release event. To purchase before or after please visit the website or directly contact Compton III.
