Bomb Story: Live Adam is a fluorescent gradient Adam that is reminiscent of the split-fountain inking posters popularized in the 1960s live music scene. They were later adopted and mastered by artists like Craig Stecyk. This one, in particular, was based on a concert poster that was hanging off the freeway off-ramp and inspired the street-posting campaigns from The Hundreds' early marketing campaigns. Very Los Angeles!| Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. Of all the all-over-prints The Hundreds was responsible for during this time, Cherries was Ben's least favorite. But Bobby loved the kitschy nature, Americana flair, and the rockabilly/punk connotations.
