On September 11th, 2019 we lost one of the greatest artists of our time. Daniel Dale Johnston was born in January of 1961 in Sacramento California. He was the youngest of five children and grew up in West Virginia in a Christian fundamentalist household. While his first love was drawing, music soon followed after and with it came an obsession for the Beatles other rock ‘n roll greats of the 1960s. After his graduation from high school, and a short stint at Abilene Christian University, Johnston moves back home attending art classes at Kent state and recording music in his family’s cellar. Slowly but surely this is where Johnston’s artistic style would evolve in both his artwork and his music, and his lyrics of love and drawings of Captain America would be penned down. ‘Songs of Pain,’ and ‘More Songs of Pain,’ became his first official cassette releases in 1980. In 1983 Johnston decided he needed a change of pace as he moved to Houston, Texas, where a brother of his was living, and took a job at the Astroworld amusement park. This same year he released two more tapes, one of which being ‘Hi, How Are You.’ After leaving Houston and doing a short stint in a traveling circus, Johnston found himself in Austin. Austin is notoriously known for being a musical hub, but many would agree that the mid 1980’s were extremely special for the city. MTV chose to feature the city’s music scene on their TV show ‘Cutting Edge,’ and many local musicians pointed to the likes of Johnston when the camera crews came around asking who to feature. Soon there after Johnston became not only a local celebrity but an underground cult- rock figure nationwide, with his cassettes being re-released and sold throughout the country. His pop-sounding, simple yet heartfelt, and at times manic sound was refreshing to the post punk sounds that were so popular at the time. Johnston became an influence to many fellow musicians at the time in a number of different ways- from The Butthole Surfers to Sonic Youth. However, after two separate manic episodes in 1989 and 1990, Johnston was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. The ‘90s saw Johnston’s fame propel, during a time when he was trying toAnd we’re back! For the first post of the FW ‘19 collection I thought I’d cover the ‘Levitation,’ t-shirts obscure reference, which a lot of people have already picked up on. ‘Chant,’ is an album recorded by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos of Spain, and is a collection of Gregorian Chants that were likely recorded between the 1970s- 80s. The album was released in 1994 and sold significantly well in the US as it was marketed as an ‘antidote to the stress of modern life.’ The album went on to peak at #3 on the billboard 200 chart, and even went double platinum, making it the best selling album of Gregorian chant to date. Worldwide over 6 million copies have sold. The guys over at currently have the original ‘Chant,’ t shirt which also released in 1994, which was likely Supremes source material for the graphic, opposed to the CD cover. Thanks to everyone who sent this in!After a long time of searching, I believe I finally found the 2 reference sweaters used for this already classic cut and sew piece. The ‘Striped Polo Sweater,’ released in SS ‘16 takes to reference wool sweaters that were primarily popular from the 1950-1970s. Supreme culminated aspects of two separate sweaters to make for their release. The bottom piece has one main feature pulled from it- the number of stripes within each row, which is 3. However, there is 3 sets of stripes on either side of the sweater. Which draws me to the top right set of sweaters. Not only do they only have two sets of stripes on either side of the buttons, but the color pattern of the stripes themselves more closely mirrors Supremes final product, being that they’re more tonal and not just a gradient- like the red piping of the grey sweater. Whether or not Supremes colorway choices were also pulled from reference is unclear, though I could not seem to find any that resembled the brown and blue that were used. Thanks again to for having a great archive of material like this!Interview with Complex out now! Thanks for the good interview. Link on my story!The ‘Cloud,’ tee, which will be releasing tomorrow morning, takes one of the more prolific UK blues bands to references. ‘Savoy Brown,’ previously referred to as the Savoy Brown Blues Band, is a South West London based group founded in 1965. Though the band has cycled through several different members, not once have they gone on an official hiatus in their near 45 years of existence. This has also led to just about 40 albums released by the group, one of which just released. The ‘Cloud,’ graphic takes to reference the album art for the bands 5th LP, ‘Raw Sienna,’ which released in 1970. Its tricky to say if this particular graphic was chosen solely for its visual appeal, or if someone at the brand is actually a big fan of late 1960s blues. The graphic does however evoke a certain context on where the inspiration was pulled, as the typeface and design is reminiscent of several album artworks from the same era. Thanks so much to for sending this in. Book 2 is now available through the link in my bio!Upon seeing the new summer tees announced this morning, I figured it was time to shed light and give more of a background on painter Josh Smith, who’s works will be used yet again this season for the ‘Reaper,’ t-shirt. Josh Smith is a 43 year old American artist based out of New York City. Born in Okinawa, Japan, Josh moved frequently as a child as his father was in the military. Eventually they settled in East Tennessee where Smith primarily grew up. He attended Miami University in Ohio and the University of Tennessee where he wrapped up his studies in 1998. His first solo show was held in 2003 at the Volume Gallery in NYC and was simply titled ‘Josh Smith.’ Some of his earlier works can be seen as very minimalistic, abstract pieces made with oils and watercolors- though he also dabbled in mixed medium works such as collages and print making. The first works of his to gain notoriety were canvases riddled with his own name, often abstracted and experimental yet uniformed in a strange way. His work has progressed gradually since then, making way to his exploration of varied imagery- from skeletons and fish, to the palm tree and reapers you see pictured. In 2017 Smith held his show ‘You Walk On Ahead, Go As Fast As You Want. I’ll Follow Along Slowly. I Know The Road Well,’ in Oslo, Norway. Premiered were 11 grim reaper paintings- all reminiscent of Edvard Munch’s symbolic, impressionistic approach. Here we find ‘No Words For Feelings,’ a painting used by Supreme on the pictured jacket, as well as an unpictured Rayon shirt. Smith sites a specific scene in the 1957 film ‘The Seventh Seal,’ as one of his main inspirations- one of a knight and the Reaper playing a game of chess. Now I’m sure I could go on about Smith’s works for a long time and elaborate on his own personal inspirations and symbolism, but for captions sake, I can not do that- I do encourage everyone to read into him however as a great deals written. Another painting used by Supreme was ‘Regret and Inspiration,’ which was also done in 2017, though not apart of the Oslo show. And as for the painting on the ‘Reaper,’ tee announced today, it is titled ‘The Last Hours.’ Book 2 is out now! Link in bio.There’s really not a whole lot to be said about this one. thrifted the t-shirt on the left sometime last year- an unbranded single stitch on a Zedhed blank tag. The simple tongue in cheek ‘don’t be a dick,’ graphic came to Supreme’s reference in SS’17, when releasing the pictured crewneck and matching pin. The original ‘Don’t Be A Dick,’ tee could have came from a number of sources- likely from the back of a magazine catalog, or even a souvenir shop. Supreme put the basic graphic in a new context entirely by not only embroidering the logo but creating the enamel pin as well. It’s also notable that they inverted the colorway and added a secondary stroke/ background. Thanks again to for sharing this pic, always cool to track down the more simple yet random graphic rips done over the years. Book 2 is also available now through the link in my bio!Over time I’ve seen a lot of workwear uniforms come to reference- from the mailman’s to the mechanic. The ‘S Logo Polo,’ released Thursday likely didn’t resemble a uniform to most at first glance, especially one from this entity. But with that being said, this polo shirt is in fact a reference of a McDonald’s uniform from the mid 2000’s. The original uniform is tagged with the year ‘2006,’ followed by its German manufacturer ‘Weishaupl München.’ With McDonalds being the international giant that it is, there’s a chance this uniform was only worn at select locations around the globe, as its sale listing was out of the country. There was a few features that sold me on this being the reference- the main being the striped rib collar, Supreme’s offering of a red colorway, and of course, the wraparound S. It’s pretty humorous to see the brand bring the fast food giant to inspiration, but the execution and new context of the piece makes it almost unnoticeable to anyone who wasn’t working at McDonald’s 13 years ago. Maybe we’ll see the Golden Arches come to reference another time soon. With that said, Book 2 is it out now through the link in my bio! Be sure to get it!Alright a lot of people were asking about this one and it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything that a ‘stretch,’ or ‘reach.’ So first and foremost, no I do not necessarily believe this was the full design process for the shoe, but it’s not entirely impossible. The above image of Michael Jordan was taken in 1994. Jordan is notorious for some of his outfits over the years, especially his baggy jean phase. While his jeans seem to fit in this picture, his studded leather jacket and royal blue button up shirt make for quite the eye catching outfit. There’s a few reasons why drawing the connection between this outfit and Supremes recent Jordan 14 collaboration makes sense. For one, the studs are near identical in terms of shape and distance apart from one another. This colorway has never been seen on a 14 before, though the white and red has (they are called Candy Canes). The use of studs has also never made its way on a 14 before, or any Jordan for that matter. The use of leather on the studded panel, opposed to the suede on the toe/front panel is another indicator of this outfit being replicated into a Jordan, although the leather could have just been used to apply the studs easier. Now I’ve drawn another connection to this shoe being a possible reference of a b.b. Simon belt- which brings us right back to classic New York style. This isn’t too sound of a theory however seeing as the studs are entirely different and b.b tends to utilize crystals and studs of a different size. Nevertheless, it looks like this image may have been up on someone at Nike or Supremes mood board when it came down to executing this collaboration. We’ll never truly know though. Hope you guys don’t see this as too far fetched. Book 2 is available now! Be sure to get it through the link in my bio!A couple weeks back found what appears to be the reference for the Nike collaboration Jacquard Polo Shirts that released FW ‘18. Unless you’re new here entirely you know by now Supremes sourcing and referencing is very prevalent in every collaboration of theirs. The more recent Nike apparel collections they’ve done have also pulled from bootleg Nike products that were never actually produced by the sportswear giant. This is a design tactic seen commonly in high fashion especially over the last couple of years, and it is not entirely unlikely that the pictured longsleeve is in fact bootleg Nike. Though judging by the tag and clean embroidery and pattern registration I’d say it’s unlikely. Sean was able to score the tee for a mere $18. Always nice to see Supreme keep the reference color in rotation, as a red colorway was in fact released. On a side note; book 2 is available now and can be purchased through the link in my bio! Thank you all for the support thus far. I will be doing a giveaway for a copy this coming week, stay tuned!
