Last night I went to the Blood is the New Black party/pop-up store/makeshift art gallery at a warehouse in Silver Lake. Mainly planning to check out the artwork by my friend Jesse, I stayed for the performance by Abe Vigoda, and ended up going home with the t-shirt pictured above.
Blood is the New Black is a T-shirt label that promotes artists of the “up-and-coming” variety by selling shirts with their designs on them. The one I got was designed by Patrick Jilbert, a Kentuckyian sketchbook artist who draws distorted figures with a maniacal urgency that isn’t that far off from the world of Neckface’s adorable demons.
The line features collaborations with Keith Shore, Josh Slater, and of course, the luminous Jesse Spears, amongst many more rad artsy types. At the moment, they’ve got a “blind bargain bag” deal happening online where you can get 5 random shirts from the artist that strikes your fancy for a mere $25. Nice!

i like the one you got. i saw the one about the teeth at urban outfitters today. i wonder why they crossed out & touch your butt.
I want to touch your butt…i mean i want to do the $25 thing but it is so hard to choose
