WAIT, WHET?! Dave Kinsey is a Sr. Art Director at The Hundreds?! Fuck, that’s messing with my mind a little bit. In a good way tho…That brand just got even cooler in my head.

Dave Kinsey has been a big influence and art hero to me. I caught his work while still in college and I loved what he did then. The way his art has evolved is incredible and he’s one of the few dudes whose body of work that I’ve continually followed and still like. You can see some of his clear influence in my earlier paintings. He makes me mad and disappointed in my own work, for sure.

The Hundreds is a brand that I really like and respect. Aside from the HUGE contribution to art/design/streetwear, I really dig how Bobby, Ben, & co stick to their shit and keep doing what they wanna do. You can sense from their pieces, that they’re having a good time but are still hustling. I saw an interview with Bobby once, during the initial cut & sew peak, and he said something along the lines of “we’ll try cut & sew stuff but I’m just a tee dude. So we’re a tee brand.” Something about that resonated with me and I’ve just thought he was a cool dude ever since.

Anyway, the video is a cool behind-the-scenes piece on a Warhol inspired tee that Kinsey did.
