Bomb Story: Lurking Adam never made it to see the light of day. In fact, he never even made it out of the trenches of the drafts folder. If you look closely, the illustration is still lacking and incomplete - in that sense, it's a rare one for Adam Bomb Squad. '80s babies know: Lurking Adam parodies one of the Rainbow Brite characters.| 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. In stretching our imaginations around repeating patterns, Bobby thought of Escher and tesselations. At the time, we were traveling a lot between LA and New York. Since The Hundreds was heavily influenced by the artists and culture that anchor these cities, Bobby drew a skyline that represents Los Angeles. When flipped upside down, it calls out New York City.
