Chronic The HempHog Weed Shirt

“Betty Boop, Pink Panther, anything vintage and cartoonish. I just love tapping into that because it’s so playful and specific but can also hold an underlying message. For example, you can spot Betty Boop anywhere, but many people don’t know the Chronic The HempHog Weed Shirt it is in the first place but origin of the character, so instead of erasing her identity like it’s been done before, I’ll make a point to represent her as a person of color.” “I recently collaborated with Keyla Marquez on a collection of zoot suits as one of 10 featured artists. I love how everyone’s style is so different. As for right now, I’m in the middle of wrapping things up on my book, Not Urz, that’s going to be released October 15 with Beyond the Streets.” A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and recipient of the Yale Norfolk fellowship, Ayala creates work that documents and reflects on the working-class Latinx experience in Southern California. His paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and beyond, including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Jeffrey Deitch in New York, and the Aishti Collection in Lebanon. “Growing up with my family in Southern California. The first time I ever saw airbrushing being used as a tool was probably related to my father’s interest in cars and lowriders. I also have memories of me as a child going with my mom and grandma to the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet and seeing people get airbrushed T-shirts on the spot or going to the salon with them and watching the person doing their nails bust out an airbrush gun to apply these small stencil designs.”

“I think my work is very personal to some degree but accessible in the Chronic The HempHog Weed Shirt it is in the first place but sense that I use a lot of recognizable imagery, maybe kind of [central] to California or being brown. I think airbrushing has always functioned as a type of working-class tool, and that’s an undertone to my work and what I’m interested in exploring. People that inspire me [include] Sarah Gomez, Aaron Zupan, Nathan Harris, Jasmine Monsegue, and Jaime Muñoz. Muñoz and I share a lot of things in common because of being brown and growing up in the Inland Empire. He grew up in Pomona and is also really interested in car culture and a similar language that I think we have been associated with.” “I have a solo exhibition that just opened up at Jeffrey Deitch in New York. It’s primarily paintings, but there’s some installation and video work as well, in conversation about the idea of a truck stop and its associations with auto body shops in the West Coast.” Known by her alias, Spacebrat, Jasmine Monsegue hand paints her limited drops—spanning puffer coats and skin-hugging knits—with visuals that pay homage to circus themes and old-school thrillers. Her work has been seen in collaborations with fashion brands like No Sesso and exhibited in galleries like Harlesden High Street in London and John Wolf and Whaam! in New York.
