 Don Ken (Oostende 1956) Although Don Ken's work can be considered Street Art, he did not start his career as a member of a graffiti crew that placed 'tags' and 'masterpieces' on trains and walls, but gained worldwide fame for his fashion photography. Don Ken began to create his own art, using cartoon characters from Walt Disney. This quickly led to a lawsuit with a very happy result: Don Ken is now the only artist in the world allowed to depict Disney characters in art.
