So the homie Ray from Lions Den is having his new store location grand opening this Saturday the 23rd.
If you're lucky, you might recieve one of our limited Lions Den X Foreign Family collabos! I did a hand-drawn piece for Lions Den's well known neon sign: "Money, Power, Respect". I flipped those chinese characters with a twist of graffiti style "throw-up" letterings. Here is what Ray has to say about those specific words:

"When we first opened the store we thought it would be interesting to highlight the intersection of cultures. It’s just a play on when athletes and rap stars who get asian character tattoos that look good, but are mistranslated. We wanted to take that to the extreme and just translate Americana/rap lyrics that made no sense whatsoever in Chinese. We took the song Money, Power, Respect from the Lox and translated it into Chinese. I think the Lox got the saying from Scarface which makes it kind of better. The phrase is kind of the epitome of rap ideology translated into Chinese."

Here is the flyer for the opening. See you there!!









peace!!
