BASQUIAT DOLLAR.
For our Summer 2011 collection titled “Popular is Popular”, we released the Basquiat Dollar tee as part of the drop. The reception was incredible and we quickly sold out on these. Probably one of the best designs we’ve ever released in my opinion. While we don’t tend to show the beginning stages for our designs, I’m so drawn to this particular design that I wanted to share the artwork we created and started with before the final version you see on the tee. The idea was to create something we can relate to based on Robert Dowd‘s iconic Van Gogh dollar. It was a no brainer for us to do it based on Basquiat. His work and what he represented as well as where he was from all spoke to us the most. We started with the below but then worked it to the final version you see on the tee. Really enjoyed working on this one. We are actually contemplating releasing these as a limited run of art prints so look out for them if we do. It will look amazing on any wall.
Props to our in house designer – Jimmy P for bringing the vision to life perfectly.

DOPE ART.
I saw this on ebay by an artist named Christian Mengele and I thought it was sick. Of course, you can tell that his work is heavily influenced by Basquiat but it’s dope as hell. I love it when an artist pulls it off (Basquiat style) in a flawless manner and in my opinion Christian has mastered that…..
by the way, if you have a keen eye, you can see that there’s a little picture of a kid in there somewhere…that’s ill….
Check out some more of Christian’s work here..

BASQUIAT, PAPER PLANES, WANTED & THE MOB.
We should finally be receiving our Fall sweatshirts by the end of this month. We were forced to change plans as far as the items we wanted to do which is the reason why we’re a little behind schedule. Still, we’re dropping some really nice pieces. Since the items will be available really soon, I decided to showcase the graphics of each shirt and let you folks get a sneak peek at what’s coming. We’re only going to be doing 4 sweatshirts for Fall, and our collection is titled “Under The Influence”.
First up is the BASQUIAT sweatshirt.
If you’ve been an avid follower of our brand, you’ll know by now that we’re strongly influenced by street & contemporary art amongst many other things. We really dig and respect Basquiat’s work, and the legacy he’s left behind. Matter of fact, if you can remember, back in July – I did a post titled Basquiat – I am Legend where I basically paid homage to him. The BASQUIAT sweatshirt will feature the image above on a black sweatshirt, and the words below on the lower back of the sweatshirt.
Second is the M.I.A inspired sweatshirt titled PAPER PLANES.
Yep, we took the hook from M.I.A’s Paper Planes song and that’ll be featured on the front of this sweatshirt. We like M.I.A and her creativity. We’ve always respected the fact that she’s not afraid to take chances which is something we can identify with. Her song – Paper Planes put her on the map, and if you don’t believe me, take a look at the video which has 20 million views on Youtube. 20 million!!! This sweatshirt is guaranteed to sell out quick so you better get in your order as soon as they drop! Color of the sweatshirt will be Navy Blue.
Third is THE COOKIES MOB sweatshirt -
As young kids growing up in NYC, we’ve always loved gangster movies and pretty much anything related to the mob/mafia. I remember we would watch all these gangland flicks, and then try to interpret it into our own lifestyle. So when we started this brand, we toyed with the idea of tying it into our love for mob movies/lifestyle, and hence the birth of “The Cookies Mob”. The Cookies Mob is our street collective of people who appreciate and support our brand. So all you folks that follow our brand and buy our products are all honorary members of The Cookies Mob. To learn about how you can further become involved in the mob, or to get “made”, shoot an email to thecookiesmob(at)BakedinNY.com. The Cookies Mob sweatshirt will come in brown only.
Fourth and last is the WANTED POSTER sweatshirt –
This sweatshirt was inspired by old western Wanted Posters. You know..back in the days, when they offered money for the arrest of some gunslinger in some little town in the middle of nowhere..yeah those times. This image is also of our actual poster that we’ll soon be plastering NYC with, once the Fall sweatshirts drop. So if you happen to buy this sweatshirt, wear it and then walk past a poster of it in NYC – smile because it is all part of our elaborate scheme to take over the world. This sweatshirt will be available in Dark Heather (gray).
So that’s pretty much it, there’s a secret image thats on the last 3 sweatshirts which I left out. I can’t give away everything just yet. Gotta wait till we get the actual pieces to see. Also, all sweatshirts are Euro-cut, 80% combed cotton, 20% polyester, Brushed 320G/9.6 OZ…pretty much, the quality is top notch. The feel and cut is amazing. As always, items are limited and once sold out, that’s it. End of the month, they’ll be dropping. Get Ready!
