Bomb Story: At the root of it all, The Hundreds started with drawing lines. In fact, that's why our motto to this day is: ""Drawing Lines!"" The earliest representations of this step-by-step formation in creating a masterpiece were the kids' tutorials. We always thought it was hilarious how six steps later, you could go from a crudely drawn circle to a complex illustration of an anthropomorphic bomb. | Background Story: Quite prescient, the Crowds pattern was designed years before the rallies, protests, and riots of the last couple years. Disenchanted by the ""slacktivist"" generation, we were hopeful for a new class of youth who were galvanized to fight for themselves and fight for others. Crowds are comprised of an uprising. It also refers back to The Hundreds itself, a name that stands for a community in movement.
