Biggie Smalls for Mayor

Biggie Smalls for Mayor01.05.2011

I know I already posted about the new Print Brigade line—BUT I’m especially excited about this Biggie shirt. I’ve been wanting to do a shirt with this quote for a long time. I’ve done 2 different prints of it in the past but they never felt exactly right. I tried to loosely model this one after old political posters with a twist. I’m happy with the results.

I just backed XOXO Festival on @Kickstarter http://t.co/rJHKxJIQ
