1979-2079 explained..

1979 was the last year of true funk.the spirit of self-expression would be watered down ,persuaded to silence or merely imitated in the years to come..so 1979-2079 is our hundred year reign of self expression,a salute to all things funky and the continuance of the dreamer's spirit.it is embedded in our designs and married to our imagery, from now until we reach 2079.

hungry eyes..

rider or dye..

below is a brief window into our dye process,all shirts are hand manipulated by the artists.extremely limited runs ensure you a quality product that no one else owns..true originality.everytime.

the inkwell..

in our california offices we have an "inkroom" dedicated strictly for the production of original linework and ink graphics..an artist is only as ready as his studio, so we wanted to really promote that aspect of the company../note- the grey walls subconsciously help you focus on the white paper in front of you../

smooth as silkscreen..

..for quality control are images are put on by hand,each shirt is handled and produced by our core group of highly-skilled artists before receiving it's certificate of authenticity..each design limited to just 2079 units worldwide!
