SEATTLE- We are excited to be working with the talented and motivated people at Inner City Empire. JR has introduced us to a slew of great people. We stopped by to visit Jesse Edwards studio. Jesse is a still life oil painter (and Graff writer) Look for his ceramic spray paint cans and gnome bongs.
We have been spending time up in Seattle, working with super genuine and talented people. Sean Barton is a master letter smith, and a true free hand sign painter.
Union Los Angeles is proud to present the FUCT 20 Year Visual Exhibition on Thursday October 27 2011 at 7pm. The exhibition will be held at Union (110 South La Brea Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90036).
Erik Brunetti defined rebelliousness for the Generation X of skate boarders and street wear consumers, through unconventional and often controversial designs and ad campaigns released under his brand name FUCT.
FUCT got it’s initial push shortly after it’s conception, when New York City’s UNION took notice to the brand and offered to become it’s exclusive US retailer. This was 1991.
FUCT is celebrating its 20 year anniversary with a visual exhibition presenting selected works (released and unreleased) by artists who contributed to the brands visuals: Erik Brunetti, Pushead, Larry Clark, Wes Lang, Alexis Ross, Mr. Cartoon and many more. We will post more photos as the pieces are installed into UNION. Below is a couple to have a look at. Many more pieces to view at the exhibition.

Below: Ink illustration Mr. Cartoon did for FUCT during the year of late 1992 (early ’93) *Note the velum over lay: presumably, the design was going to be used as a skateboard graphic. (The graphic never made it to production due to the brand discontinuing decks / hardware)
THE MYSTIC SON
