Freshley Baked: Johnny Cupcakes









The Boston-based t-shirt maker has already built a fanbase on the Eastern seaboard due to his famous Beantown boutique and successful online business. But it’s his clever cupcakes-centric graphics that take cues from his hardcore punk roots, childhood nostalgia, and current streetwear influence that take the… cake. And even moreso when you consider the limited-edition appeal of his products and the cross-market/cross-gender (
not transgender) charisma that Johnny Cupcakes has aligned itself/himself with.

OMBAMA COLLECTABLE




Adrian Tomine is another revered illustrator, noted for his complicated graphic novels like Summer Blonde and the Optic Nerve series. Occasionally he puts original art and sketches up for sale here, but jump on it, because the good ones go fast.

Nike “Tiger Woods” Blazer



Having won so many major golf championships, Tiger Woods is often said to be one of the greatest athletes ever, so it only makes sense that Nike designs a shoe after him. This pair of “Tiger Woods” Blazer has many clever details including the use of white golf ball dimpled leather, faux tiger camo fur swoosh, an Official Masters Tournament logo on the heel, and “Green Hoody” jacket on the tongue. These will be released this Saturday, August 16, at Rock Paper Scissors.
