Right now I'm wearing I-Path's. That company was started by kids in Geneva, NY, near where I used to live. They're popular among skateboarders and tour kids. My t-shirt was made by a small West Coast independent company called Spraygraphic. I heard about them from Beautiful Decay magazine, a relatively new underground art and culture publication. The graphic on the shirt is a gas can checkered with money symbols with a map of the world cut out of it. My jeans are by Scifen which represents science and the infinite. That company was started by a graf writer.
I rock underground gear almost exclusively as a sign to anyone paying attention that I'm not a slave to or billboard for large corporate interests. I have a couple friends who have their own clothing companies and I push their gear as much as I can. My other homey is putting out a hoody with Mishka for next summer, and I will probably cop one of those.
I try to wear clothes that are intellectual and artistic. I hope that the message behind the art of the things I cover myself with helps people wake up. I wear clothes that promote organic growth, open minds, spiritual progress, and independent artists.
I wear art. I patronize creativity and positivity in what I wear, but still try to look comfortable physically and in my surroundings. Fashion is important to me as a way to reinforce visually the ideas I stand for. I'm always on the lookout for new artwear, new artists, new independent clothiers, and fresh styles.
