I am currently hard at work at our brand new apparel line that is coming very soon. The art studio and warehouse is still under work and once that is finished we will celebrate with our first apparel drop! This is a special moment to me because this is a theme that I want to carry on for the foreseeable future. A special line of apparel that is unified under a central thought but with each design being completely different. To make each design even more special after a short time each design will get take off from the site!
How it Works: Each shirt drop is exclusive with a new design coming out each month. If you see a design you like, you better grab it quick because after a couple months of a design being out it will be removed from the site. This is to ensure the quality and exclusivity of the designs. I create each one with a lot of thought and piece of myself, which is why I want each one to be special to the people that pick one up. At the moment there are no plans to re-release any of these designs in the future so that their value and specialness can be maintained. If any of the designs in particular are popular enough they may come up again as a main stay of the store or perhaps as just prints, but there are no guarantees at the moment. So, if you see something you like make sure to get it before it disappears!
The Meaning Behind this Drop: The name of the line is called "Another Cog". I chose this name because the entire line is going to be centered around being another cog in a machine. I will touch on social constructs and restrictions that society places onto people and the restrictions they place unto themselves. Restrictions of following the crowd and allowing yourself to become just like everyone else, or being stuck in an endless cycle. Each piece will have it's own unique design but will be created with these thoughts in mind. The meaning behind this drop is very special to me because for a long time I've felt myself getting stuck. Stuck in jobs that I have not been happy with and surrounded by co-workers that felt the same way. Stuck in a hole of depression and anxiety created by my own self-doubts. Stuck in the ways that society and my family told me was right instead of pursuing my dreams and what I wanted to achieve. I have constantly felt not special or just "Another Cog" in this big machine we call life.
We can all feel like we're stuck in a cycle or just a small piece in a larger work that society has made for us. This line of clothing is for those of us who either embrace that line of thinking or wish to break themselves out. Each design is going to be interpreted differently by different people, just one of the amazing things about art. However you feel on the subject, I hope to create beautiful and creative designs that get people thinking and questioning their life and surroundings.
I will touch base with another update soon, but until then be sure to sign up for the mailing list so that you don't miss a single beat, and so that you can be a participant in seeing this journey take off!
Any feedback on this drop if you have any would be greatly appreciated! Whether it is right now or while new designs drop please feel free to contact me and give any suggestions that you have! Some designs will have a creative process shown on my YouTube channel so if you are interested in seeing how I make these designs and my workflow please check it out over there or with updates that will be continually put onto this blog!
Below is going to be the first design put into the drop. A nice little warm up on how are themes will be taking place!
