Excited to tell you guys that super cool apparel brand\u00a0Googoo&Gaga<\/a><\/strong> has invited me along with fellow artist Wiji Lacsamana<\/a> to come up with designs for their 2016\u00a0Artist Collection series. This year they’re focusing on watercolor art. \ud83d\ude42 I’ve always been a fan of Audrey & AJ Dimarucot’s Googoo&Gaga’s quirky designs (and designer AJ\u00a0has been a friend since the late 90s) so I was happy to be a part of this collaboration.<\/p>\n

Here\u00a0are the designs I came up with. They come in all sorts of clothing styles too — onesies, tees, lap t-shirts, t-shirt dresses, leggings, and even swimsuits which is pretty cool, right? The pre-order period is over but I believe you can still place orders through this link<\/a>\u00a0or by clicking on the image below.<\/p>\n

I wanted to come up with designs that were fun and quirky without being “cutesy” since these qualities are what sets Googoo & Gaga apart from the other kiddie brands so I thought of drawing animals sporting human clothing and acting like they couldn’t care less. ;P I chose a zebra and giraffe because I read somewhere that these animals, normally found in Africa, actually exist here on our shores — in Calauit\u00a0to be exact. I thought it would be interesting to set them against tropical foliage to reflect that fact. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I had a great time working on them — and making illustrations for a brand for a change — and would love to have another opportunity like it\u00a0again. So if anyone out there reading has an idea for a collaboration, please shoot me a message<\/a> and let’s see what we can do.<\/p>\n
