Bomb Story: With a career spanning three decades, Ron English has been called the world’s most famous pop artist, implementing a signature technique to create political, consumerist, and surrealist statements. To cap our collaboration with Ron English, we asked the painter for a customized Adam Bomb on canvas. That artwork still hangs at the entrance of The Hundreds Homebase.| Background Story: Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
