Clothing Brand To Watch….CRMC Clothing @CRMC_Clothing

I got linked to these guys through a mutual friend a few weeks ago and really like what they are doing, there designs are very Hip Hop to me using alot of graff influences with skulls and dope designs.

The first piece that took my eye was there “Sayagata IX” Grey Crewneck Sweatshirt:

Sayagata_Back_BC

I placed my order and received it next day, which is quite rare these days, the quality of the jumper is one of the best ive bought in a long time, alot better than some of the more known brands out there that are charging alot more for similar designs, the jumper came with stickers and some feathers which at first i though how strange but then i realised that CRMC stands for Conspiring Ravens Murderous Crows Clothing which kinda makes sense now, they had hand written on the tags aswell which althogugh dosent sound alot that means to me these are guys that care about there customers and there clothing.

I already have my eye on a few more things to buy from them so make sure you check them out at the following places.

A Look At The Artist Phil Frost.

I first discovered the work of Phil Frost when i got taken to london at 15 years old to visit some skate spots, we went to the legendary slam city skates and i saw the amazing murial’s out side by him even though at the time i had no idea who they were by.

These crazy faces i saw painted kinda stuck in my head over the years, ive always wanted to be an artist of some form, as a kid id sit in on a friday night listening to tim westwood on the radio and sketch out a graff piece or try to imitate these faces i had in my mind from out side the skate shop.

Years later i bought the DJ Shadow album preemptive strike where i saw this same crazy art that id have embedded in my brain all these years but still never knew who the artist was.

Ive recently found out that the artist is Phil Frost, hes a New York artist who’s work first became known in the early 1990s.

His work is so unique you can tell its a frost piece straight away, have a look at some of my fave examples of his work.
