One of Whatshisname's most famous creations is the "POPek" art toy, which features a cartoonish dog lifting its leg to urinate. The design is a playful commentary on the ubiquity of advertising and branding in our daily lives. In addition to creating art toys, Whatshisname also works in other mediums such as painting, sculpture, and installation art. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and he has collaborated with several high-profile brands and companies.
