Bomb Story: Tourist Adam is a nod to the Venice Beach souvenir shirts that grace the boardwalk. Over the decades, those tacky tees have served to become a uniform of sorts for out-of-towners to our city of Los Angeles and the greater California. But, they can also serve as rich inspiration material for T-shirt designers. There were two different ways we printed this design for the season, depending on the T-shirt color. This one filled the eyes and other elements of the character.| Background Story: At the time, it was popular for repeating prints like these on button-up woven shirts to be emblazoned with bright, cheerful flowers. The contrarians that we are, we wished to see nature in decay against a merciless climate crisis. The flowers are withering and the result was sobering.
