Custom Sweaters Featured in Urban’s Weekly Empoyee “SLANT” Newsletter

Just found out that my sweaters were picked to be featured in the Urban Outfitters Employee SLANT Newsletter that goes out to all the Urbans in the country! Even put a nice little bio in there too.

I can’t wait to see what all the other artists did with their sweaters!

Urban Outfitters: Urban Renewal Sweater Project

Just finished up customizing a big heapload of sweaters for the Urban Renewal Sweater Project along with a bunch of other great and talented artists. For my modifications, I decided to take off all the buttons on the front and add crazy colored zippers, add a faux sewn pocket on the front, hand stencil one of 4 animals: squirrel, ostrich, sparrow and bee, and sew on some crazy ribbon. It took forever but I they turned out great! And I even managed to get some cute custom tags made with my name and site on them.

Check them out in select Urban Outfitters stores soon!

Here are a few pics of a select few sweaters before I sent them off…
