It's been a while and I have been crazy busy...time to catch up! This project was a t-shirt design for Chicago-based label All Natural, Inc. and Uprise Skateshop. They basically wanted to do a shirt that celebrated their longevity in the game. I sent them a few designs, but they settled on the record and skateboard combo separated by the Chicago stars. It took a couple back and forth emails to get the vintaging on the record and deck correct, but in the end, we were all happy with the outcome.
The latest addition to the FreshMen video series on Rubyhornet.com. I sit down with graffiti artist/ illustrator Solo RM as he tells me about some of his influences and explains the concept behind the comic strip that we work on called "On The Daily". Look out for more from Solo and On The Daily in the near future.
It has come to my attention that a certain shirt that I created a couple of years ago has made an appearance on Disney's "Shake It Up" program worn by Chicago native, Duncan Tran. The front sports Bruce Lee toting a boombox yelling "Turn It Up HIYA!" On the back is my word logo in a stencil style. I printed only 93 of these shirts in a limited run and destroyed the screen. One of my favorite designs.
Even Santa can't get away from the hype!
The customer wanted a pair of SBs that reminded him of his old stomping grounds. He wanted to incorporate the sights of the city along with the graffiti that he loved most of all. We agreed on a Lime green and Blue colorway with a silver swoosh. The rest was concocted straight from the dome piece. Enjoy...
A Dragon Ball Z themed pair. The client wanted to show 4 stages of transformation of the main character GOKU. After we agreed on a design, here was the outcome...
