STFU's Airbrush is All Over OM’s Summer 2024 Collection
Summer's sizzling, and we're not just talking about the weather. We're turning up the heat with another annual artist collaboration that's all about vintage 80's vibes, bold statements, and a healthy dose of attitude. We're stoked to unveil our exclusive collection of tees and tanks created with the one-and-only STFU (You Talk Too Much), a NYC-based artist known for killer airbrush skills and tongue-in-cheek humor.
STFU, the enigmatic airbrush ninja who lets their work do the shouting, is known for his vibrant, 80s-inspired designs that often feature pop culture throwbacks and mischievous twists. With a client list that reads like a who's who of cool, such as Nike and Converse to Ksubi and Timberland, STFU's work has adorned everything from threads and trinkets to album covers and mural walls. The artwork typically references animals or cartoons from our childhood, such as Winnie the Pooh or Carebears, often using monochromatic blues and reds.
When we started brainstorming our summer swag drop, we knew we wanted something that screamed summer nostalgia and called upon our handcrafted requirements. STFU’s unique blend of retro cool and a "don't mess with me" attitude perfectly matches our brand's rebellious spirit and passion for artistry.
The artist’s main medium is Airbrush art. It’s a technique that uses air to make paint go whoosh and hit peak fame in the 80s, becoming the go-to for custom car flair, concert tees, and murals. These days, it's made a comeback with a vengeance, thanks to radical artists like STFU, who not only push the medium's boundaries but combine it with twisted but stylish imagery.
Our collab with STFU resulted in a limited-edition Overall Murals collection of tees, tanks, and a sticker pack. Using a Doberman to represent the OM “wall dogs” is more than fitting. Sign and billboard painters are known as wall dogs in our industry because when they are painting up high on a building, they feel like they are chained to the wall. A doberman is a dog breed known for being muscular, strong, powerful, and fearless, just like our painters need to be. This tough-as-nails pup by STFU is surrounded by paint cans arranged in a vibrant floral explosion. Palm trees are grooving in the background, and our "Overall Murals" has been stylized with the artist’s airbrush. It's a tribute to sunny days, street art swagger, and the freedom to be yourself.
Keep your eyes peeled for our summer merch box, packed with these exclusive STFU pieces and other goodies designed to help you rule the season.
