Below please enjoy this overly awesome post by Daniel Mejia. 


Last summer while browsing the Threadless site, I purchased this tee (well the tank top version)



... at no point did I bother to check out who the artist/designer was, because who cares, it's just a nice looking shirt.

Fast-Forward to January, I'm browsing the ArtFido instagram account and I run into this:

and it's a beautiful thing. Naturally after seeing that, my next step is to follow the artist, Alex Solis (aka alexmdc). Go ahead, take that moment to browse this dudes work (you're welcome), here is just a small sample:

These 2 guys below are part of his Famous Oldies and Famous Chunkies set (not hard to guess which is which), I only post 1 of each so you can go ahead for yourself and check out the rest of them, amongst his other stuff. Today, with the help of Threadless, he has further expanded his brand by putting his 'Famous Chunkies' designs on shirts which you can purchase over at http://www.famouschunkies.com (12 tees to start, hopefully more to be added soon.

Hey Y'all

 A tough cookie.

Hogwash. You and me’ve always been like this. Always a little removed. Always… Dreaming.

Of higher, further, faster…More. Always more.

Over the years, I’ve come to think of these traits as the shared attributes of a chosen people. The lord put us here to punch holes in the sky.

This"What Would Captain Marvel Do?" tee with the dinosaur is sick! It's my favorite. She looks so bad-ass and ready to take on anything.

Check out the video for Coach X Gary Baseman's Spring 2015 collection.

 

"Stuart Vevers’ Spring 2015 collection is a journey across America inspired by vintage road-trip cinema and West Coast subcultures of music, skate and surf. The collection evokes what Vevers has described as “a sense of everydayness, twisted.” Featuring darkly playful creatures from Los Angeles artist Gary Baseman and a palette inspired by the eerie colors of the golden hour before sundown, the collection was filmed in a dreamlike rain shower on the streets of Ditmas Park in Brooklyn, New York."

If you're like me you're going to look very closely and try to find all the Gary Baseman characters... Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of these pieces... The purses I like with Baseman's character are anywhere from 650-700 dollars. Check out the collection here. 

The video had a very cool, ethereal, trippy vibe, I could dig it...
