Bomb Story: Bobby's sole tattoo is by artist Mister Cartoon, an LA icon whose background in lowrider art, graffiti, and streetwear makes him one of the most prolific artists of our time. We've had the fortune of working with Cartoon on several occasions, but in November of 2018, The Hundreds released an expansive capsule collection together. A must-ask piece to seal the deal? A clown interpretation of Adam Bomb...| Background Story: If there was ever a pattern that encapsulated The Hundreds, it would be Paisley. Our first big hit, the one that put us on the map, was the all-over-print Paisley hoodie from 2005. There's an unabridged version of this story in Bobby's book, but that sweatshirt sold so much, and sold out so quickly overnight, that we allocated all of those funds to building our first flagship retail store on the corner of Fairfax and Rosewood. The pattern was designed in 2004, on a lesser-remembered piece called the ""Bandana"" zip-up. Over the years, those clusters of buta droplets continued onto The Hundreds T-shirts, across cut-n-sew collections, New Era fitteds, and collaborations with artists. The Paisley print not only defined us, but greater streetwear, as it trickled down into the work of later brands and designers.
