They Live We Sleep Letterpress Available Thursday, July 24th at 10AM PT!
The "They Live We Sleep" letterpress is inspired by several things. My original interest in skulls came from their recurrent presence in skateboard and punk rock iconography of the 80s. Especially the Powell Peralta "Bones Ripper” illustrated by Vernon Courtlandt Johnson. I was also a big fan of Lance Mountain's and Ric Clayton’s skull drawings for Suicidal Tendencies. Skulls were also a prominent part of the alien ghoul characters in the movie “They Live,” which inspired my use of the word OBEY in my art.
