poets and thieves

Poets & Thieves : Fall Collection MMVII .
Punk, Bollocks and Hip Hop : the music of a Generation .
Think Afro-Futurism and Heavy Bass. Think Westway to the Bronx..

Shots from the latest collection of Poets & Thieves. I had the great pleasure to work alongside the one Patrick "PK" King on this latest collection for the Toronto based brand. What you see here is the product of discussion, dialogue and a mutual appreciation of the music which shaped a generation. The theme of this collection speaks to the epoch which birthed Punk and Hip Hop.

I touched on everything from Afro-Futurism in the BASS 77 piece which is meant to evoke the boom-boxes and visual EQ's which first blasted the bass heavy sounds of Rap onto the streets of New York. Also, designed a piece centered around Vivienne Westwood's SEX SHOP located in London - and of course The Sex Pistols and Cat Woman which frequented her store. I've sought to embody the visual vernacular of these pieces with the same energy which birthed these musical + cultural movements. Hopefully y'all can feel it.
