ROSCO DIY — 10th Anniversary.

Ten years after the first ROSCO left the mold, this edition marks the anniversary with fifty pieces: twenty-five black bodies, twenty-five white. Bow ties come in black, white, or a special, more limited run of gold, picked independently from the body, the same free combination system ROSCO has always had.

The palette borrows from a black-tie gala, fitting for turning ten, but black and white are also the easiest surfaces to paint over. That's where the name comes from: ROSCO DIY is an open nudge, not a requirement, to pick up a brush and take the design further once it's yours.

It's the same idea already growing on the side: a few blank ROSCOs have been given to other artists to customize, no two pieces alike. This edition just opens that door a little wider, to anyone who wants to walk through it.
