Foreign Family: We sell art on T-shirts
Hello world,
Here at Foreign Family, we produce hand-drawn artwork which are printed onto t-shirts. AFFordable-FFresh-FFashion is our goal.
Check out this upcoming design which will be released in the beginning of July - The FF Academy tee:
Hand drawn artwork is seldom seen on t-shirts these days. That's what we were known for: being creative and hand drawing all of our artwork. But through the years, even we cavemen at Foreign Family have also learned how to use the computer. It's pretty cool, you can change colors on images with a single click. So easy and efficient.
But we were reminded by our good friend Julio, why our brand was so different from the others. It was the usage of our hands and the simple mediums of paper, pens, and ink. In this modern day of technology, art by hand is rare and overseen, but we'd like to make sure that we stick to our motto...even if it's simple stick-men figures or smily faces. =)
Here is another drawing that we did almost 3 years ago- Colored FFaces:
We recently got an email from FFamily FFriend: Melaku. He wanted to show us some artwork his friend Zach Anderson did on some Vans. Zach used our Colored FFaces design as a reference, then blew our minds at Foreign Family with his talent and imagination:
Zach is currently about to be a senior in high school... dude has mad skills!
Left side. Arrows off the laces!
Right side. Arrows intertwining... crazy
Backside. The '8' is the number of shoes he's made on Vans so far... Wasup with the other 7 of them Zach? Let us see! haha. Awesome shoes man... big ups! By the way, MR44 wears a size 10.5 and Chad wears a 9.5... wink wink ;)
Thank you for everyone who always sends us their FF inspired artwork. I know we don't put up all of the artwork you guys send to our email, but we will definitely make an effort to start putting up your designs. It's only fair if everyone gets to see your gifted talent! Maybe we'll make a section just for that... hmmm =)
And random pictures of the day at our favorite cafe: Yuko Kitchen
Shokochan greets the customers.
Chaddy drinks his coffee... Ask for the SNIPPO COFFEE. It's not on the menu, but it's Chad's original coffee: Two shots of espresso with condensed milk and coffee... the most bittersweet coffee in the world.
Nima likes the snippo coffee.
MaMa Yuko holding it down.
Yachiyochan. When she's not serving at Yuko's, she's serving dancers on the dance floor. She's also a back dancer for T-pain... uwhaat? peep:
Since we go to Yuko's so much, we even decided to make her a flyer:
If you're around the area, come by and say hello! We'll most likely be there! haha

ps. shhhhhh... PARTY NAKED hats are now available for purchase here! shhhhh

WHOLESALE:
noun: The sale of goods in large quantities, as for resale by a retailer.
Today, we were invited to one of our friend's warehouse in downtown LA. It's interesting to see the world of wholesale beyond streetwear . It's all about hustling and moving product non stop, no time for being 'cool'. =)
Laying out yards of fabric.
Our friend Martin shows us around his stockroom...
His really big stockroom.
Thanks for the drinks Martin! It was a hot one in downtown today.
We then stopped by a little shop on 3rd street... stay tuned for some future projects with this store in July!
Have a good weekend!
