Artists Series Straps

Social Studies Design

Aldo and Sean started by silk-screening various images onto vintage men’s dress shirts and selling them in the best of the hipster boutiques L.A’s Silverlake area, and on their website at socialstudiesdesign.com. Magazines started doing features on them, and their cloths started showing up in TV shows and art museums' gallery stores. We always admired their stuff and thought it’d be cool get some of their ideas onto a guitar strap and here they are.  These colors and styles are all artist approved and can also be found along with other Social Studies clothing at  the Warhols-a-plenty Orange County Museum of art. These straps are made in extremely limited quantities with numbered hang tags.  Many of their images you see on our straps can be purchased screened onto a variety of cloths, handbags and even check wallets.

Skullphone

Skullphone creator Spazmat does regular gallery shows and installations around the nation, most recently, at a dowtown Los Angeles location where he spent the entire previous night painting his Skullphone image on the side of a giant abandoned building adjacent from the show. In addition to showing up guerilla style on the walls and billboards of Americas largest cites, Spazmat’s Skullphone image was behind the best selling Volcom clothing company Artist Series T-shirt. When he’s not wearing black and wheat-pasting shullphones onto boarded up hotel windows along the Sunset strip, Spazmat’s alter ago owns a chunk of a major skateboard wheel company. More on Skullphone can be found at  Skullphone's purposefully difficult to navigate site www.Skullphone.com

Matty Byloos

You know when you go to an art opening and you feel like you’re supposed to judging something for its “artistic merit” and instead you selfishly just find yourself asking yourself “that’s cool, but would I hang that on my living room wall”? Well  Matty sells more in paintings in one show than you and your girlfriend made in the last two months together working at that godforsaken Jim’s Pizza Palace full time. His painting have this kind of Suburban Surrealist  vibe where mundane homes and office buildings are transformed into the something modern natural and beautiful that they’re not, or shouldn’t be at least until Matty gets his hands on them.
