Streetwear Brand Obey Collaborates With Graffiti Artist

Streetwear brand Obey is well known for their artistic collaborations, and for their spring 2012 collection, they have joined forces with respected artist Curtis Kulig. Kulig, a New York graffiti artist whom you may know from his “Love Me” tags found all over the city, has lent his trademark stamp to the brand.

In the collection, Obey stays true to its roots by producing quality tees and denim, but they also feature a lightweight military jacket, a beanie, and an oxford shirt. Also included are swimsuits, cardigans, painter’s shorts, tanks, and a duffle bag.

Available now, the collection’s price points range from $23 to $167 and will surely give you a unique look this spring.

Graffiti Two Ways

Remember carving your initials into your desk in elementary school and how satisfying it was to mark a piece of your own territory, even something as silly as a fake piece of wood? Well, here are two ways to take that to the next level. You can check out the Flickr pool of “The Knitting Graffiti Group" , full of pictures of knit “tags” in public places, from colorful yarn flowers on playground fences to scarf-like tubes around trees. It may not be spray paint or wheat paste stickers, but yarn proves to be a pretty cool graffiti alternative.

For another option, there’s Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Art, a Taschen book that brings together urban art, graffiti and performance art all over the globe into one tome. Everyone from Banksy and Jenny Holzer to Barry McGee and Shepard Fairey is represented. Sure to be a fun, fascinating read.
