This entire time I thought he designed everything himself, but nope, it's those two girls. Wow. They deserve more credit.

[@grandmasterlucien]

Welome to the whole industry. In fact, any industry.

[@jhaialx2399]

There’s another dude that helps his blazzy

[@ThermalGhost]

They're just the pixel pushers while he gives art direction

[@leokelly3529]

He used to

[@neimyx1]

@@ThermalGhost dafuq does that even mean. No matter how much art direction you give, they still have to "create" it.

Yeah that's basically where I know him from. I really liked that brand too. But it's cool to see him reinvent himself and hold on strong in this overflooded streetwear market.

[@minasgerais520]

release that tee u got on

[@damienlowery]

How can I work for/with them? ☹️

[@yesDX]

I'd love to work with them, but I don't have clout. And clout is only what brands care about these days

[@gaudythegreat]

maybe, try other avenues as well. for me personally, I always try to think "What would someone pursuing my same career do back in the 90s or 80s when there was no social media etc." and to honest I don't get a lot of responses back. But I know the ones who don't respond are atleast hearing and seeing my name and what I can do. On the contrary, it has gained me a couple opportunities out here in LA. Use guerilla warfare tactics,as they say, when it comes down to marketing yourself in todays over saturated streetwear market and music. Do something to set yourself apart from the crowd. Aint no way you can miss if youre doing that. And also, idk you but stop downplaying yourself. With love @gaudythegreat

[@germansantapop7598]

brands have always only cared about clout bro
