YOUANDAMONSTER

You and a MONSTER is the brain child of my cousin and close friend Matt Jackson. With help from with his younger brother Ryan, Dylan Collins, who will guest write on this site while spending the fall traveling in Europe, and Jackson "Bear Claws" Eastwick, aptly named for his lumber jack hands, the four began printing shirts a few months ago and they are incredible. Here is some of Matt's original artwork that will be photoshopped and printed in the coming year. Matt is also an up-and-coming tattoo artist and hopes to be tattooing his work on young flesh soon. I took these pictures on my blackberry from Matt's notebook while he was on a burn run to BK. So keep in mind, these are just sketches. But the kid is very, very talented. I hope these grainy camera phone pictures help finally get him noticed. As soon as I can get my hands on some finalized designs and scan them, they'll be up. Any questions regarding T-shirts, which are fucking gnarly, contact Dylan at youandamonster@gmail.com

LOVE AND RESPECT,
