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. Bobby designed Pins as a tribute to punk rock safety-pinned patches. Jay Z came out of retirement for his Hangar Tour that year, and he wore the Pins hoodie onstage. That photo headlined MTV, CNN, and USA Today. It wasn't long before fast-fashion retailer Forever 21 and other sharks jumped on the pattern, turning it into a quick-lived moment in the marketplace.
