MEET SKWAK.

If you’ve been following us here, you’ll know by now that we’re presently working on a new collection of clothing with an amazing artist out of France named Skwak. Skwak is a talented illustrator who has done work for brands like Nike, Levis, Microsoft, Artoyz (Paris) just to name a few. For those that don’t know who Skwak is, here’s his bio in English and in French…lifted from his website.

English: “…SKWAK is a french illustrator from North of France, His unique graphic universe (Maniac World) is soaked, choking. His works revisit the children fairy tales and the universal myths. The adventures his characters (the Maniacs) are living are inspired from our daily life (love stories, treason, manipulation…) but are exaggerated to absurd : they express the idea of “too much”, the idea of escalation, through power, wealth, plastic surgery, celebrity..”

French: “…SKWAK a créé son propre univers graphique, le Maniac World peuplé de ses Maniacs…Décadents et démesurés, les Maniacs travaillent à leur anéantissement, en cultivant agonie, avilissement, pratiquant chirurgie esthétique à outrance pour être toujours plus monstrueusement beaux, corruption pour être toujours plus riche et puissant, toujours plus de tout..”

here’s some of his artwork…his signature style of colors with lots of characters is very entertaining to the eye…and even in black and white, you can’t help but still be captivated by the characters and try to figure out what’s going on with the piece….

You can visit his site here for a whole lot more stuff from him. Expect a lot of wonderful things to come from us and Skwak. Lots of cool stuff for you folks. You should be as excited as we are!
