New Yorkers

I was walking by a tied-up black trash bag one day, and on top of it was a pigeon staring at me poised like a king. That scene has stuck with me ever since.

This print collection is inspired by that pigeon's sharp look, by rats I encounter almost every day - dead or alive, and by the G train that I've spent so much of my life waiting for. Made by a New Yorker, for New Yorkers.

True Confidence

Successful people’s confidence is not real confidence. Hey, if you’re successful, of course you’re confident - it comes with it!

But when you’re a loser but still confident, that’s gold true confidence. And THAT is what we should cherish.
