Scuba gear pattern inspired by Equipment from the 60s and 70s. Brands such as Cressi have a rich history in such product and have invented some iconic items throughout their 70 year history. And were one of my sources for researching this piece.

I have always been slightly obsessed with the iconic glasses of the 80′s Cazals. Hip Hop culture fostered the German brand as its own with the likes of Run DMC.

Some day I’ll get hold of a pair but until then, here’s the 607′s in all their glory

NICE ONE!

It has always amused me when people fail to notice warnings particuarly in a world surrounded in health & safety bureaucracy. Signs and railings litter our roads & paths, yet people still somehow manage to navigate themselves into situations of peril.  Maybe we should be rid of all the street litter and let natural selection run its course?

I used a combination of hand drawing and Adobe Photoshop to create this image.
