Friends With You (FWY) is an artist collaborative founded by the two Miami-based artists, Sam Borkson, born in Plantation, Florida in 1979, and Arturo Sandoval III, born in Havana, Cuba in 1976. Since its conception in 2002, FWY has continued to promote the two artists' common message of magic, luck, and friendship, through its popular designer toy line, public art installations, new-form playgrounds, published works, live performances, and various animation, motion picture, and multimedia projects. From Art Basel in Miami to Pictoplasma in Berlin, FWY has been invited to participate in some of the most respected artistic happenings worldwide. Due to its unique style, creative and technical abilities, FWY has also been commissioned to help develop the image and identity of some of the world s most prominent brands, including, among others, Nike, MTV, Red Bull, Volkswagen, and Coca-Cola. FWY works towards sharing its message of magic, luck, and friendship, to a wider global community by collaborating with other creative forces, and by producing innovative works that will continue to redefine its audience. FWY was created with one basic concept in mind; to become Friends With You!
