Bomb Story: Former pro skateboarder turned iconic skate artist Don Pendleton is perhaps best known for his contributions to the Alien Workshop legacy. Don was one of our favorite artists to collaborate with over the years because of how involved he was in working together and how prolific he was in offering concepts and submissions. We are grateful to Don for contributing this Adam to our library of official artist collaborations. | 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.
