Rock, pop and hip-hop royalty in painted wood. This page gathers Becky Kemp’s Sketch.inc music kokeshi: David Bowie as Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust, Elton John in his stars-and-stripes look and his white stage outfit, and all three members of Run-DMC.
The Design Story
Sketch.inc for Lucie Kaas is the work of illustrator Becky Kemp. The maker describes it as a whimsical world inspired by geometric expression, Japanese illustration and Nordic aesthetics: some designs come from her imagination, others are caricatured icons from art, music, sport, fashion and history.
The shape is the kokeshi, the armless wooden doll with a round head from northern Japan, turned and painted as a tribute to a cultural personality.
About the Designer
Becky Kemp is the illustrator behind Sketch.inc. Her caricatures reduce famous faces to a few confident lines and blocks of color, which is exactly what makes them work on a small wooden doll.
Why You'll Love It
The Run-DMC trio is complete: Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay in their black hats and gold chains. The group, founded in 1983, was the first hip-hop act nominated for a Grammy, according to the maker.
Bowie’s lightning bolt and Elton’s rhinestone glasses are instantly readable from across a room.
A gift for the record collector who has everything.
Where It's Best Placed
Next to the turntable, on a shelf of vinyl, or on a studio desk. The large Elton (21.5 cm) holds its own on a bookcase.

Living With It
Wood is natural, so tone varies slightly. Dust with a soft, dry cloth, keep the dolls out of strong direct sun so colors stay bright, and display them away from moisture.
Who It's Not For
- Children’s play: these are collectible display pieces, not toys.
- Anyone wanting a posable figure: kokeshi are solid turned wood.
