Kyle Webster for The Hundreds (a lackluster collabo)

Do you remember the Original Design Gangsta? It was thanks to this that New York-based Kyle T. Webster made his name known in the design world. He was recently approached by The Hundreds to design three tees, which depict caricatures of some of their favourite artists including Morissey, Björk and The Pixies. The end result isn’t bad at all, but I don’t think this type of illustration belongs on tees (it just doesn’t look right), so it won’t get much laudation from us. It reminds me of tees your aunt buys you as a souvenir from some gift shop for $5. I would, however, be curious as to how much the good Mr. Webster was paid for his three doodles, seeing as there has been almost a constant demand from pretty much every big US publication out there, not to mention his other projects including an overwhelming amount of commercial work. mash rating: 4/10

Check out the other tees after the jump and another video of KTW in action.

Back in the Spring, Slamxhype took a big step and made the leap to print with the release of their magazine, THE NEW ORDER. They are back with issue two, which has a double cover featuring Kaws and Takashi Murakami, which makes it a no-brainer that it’s about pop culture. Head over to slamxhype.com/tno-mag to find out more about the magazine, and to purchase it.

If you can get over the fact that the chorus is pretty much incomprehensible, you’ll notice that it’s a neat little tune; with animation by Brendan Cook.
