Brands Yall Aint Even Heard Of Yet V.1

EX1ST
the art of Chris Whisby


Ive been thinkin bout doin this for a while. A blog about different brands that people SHOULD know about. The Blog title might change.. I dont think I like it.. I dont know yet.. But its just for now. well lets get this show on the road

Lets start off big. Chris Whisby.. Man this dude got skills.. His art is in-freaking-credible, and his T-Shirts show the same amazing-ness. But seriously. This dude designs dark-ish feeling shirts while still being fashionable. Usually people who are big on fashion stray away from dark clothes, but this brings everything together.. Where else are you gonna find shirts as gangster, "thug", rock, punk, deep, dark, and sick as this? Nowhere. There is no other combination quite like this. If you talk to me alot you probably heard about the shoe show I went to last year; the DunkXchange. This was the first time I saw this dudes T-shirts and I instantly fell in love with the designs, I wont lie. I bought one and couldn't help but pick another up on my way out. I can honestly say that his shirts were one of the main things that caught my attention at the show besides trying to dodge the free Terror Squad tshirts being thrown over head.

Oh and did I mention this guy reps the CHI?

Lets start with some of his artwork:




He said he still fears this one

As you can see. Hella skills. Look at the detail, and... I don't even know.. Even after looking at the pics over and over again I'm still at a loss of words. I have no idea how to put into words how much I like these piecies. Straight ill. I don't know what else to say.

Now moving along to the clothing.. Which is equally sick.. You have probably seen me sporting a few of these.


Reppin the Windy City

And you can't tell me you wouldn't cop these if they dropped
