Bomb Story: Bobby learned how to draw by reading Garfield comics. His childhood bedroom was adorned with Garfield licensed home goods and stationery supplies. When asked what his favorite collaboration was, Bobby usually says Jim Davis and Garfield. There are so many parallels between the enterprises we built (his on a much larger scale). For one, Garfield is a story about a man and his pet cat. Likewise, The Hundreds has a lot to do with Bobby's (and Ben's) relationship with Adam Bomb (plus, Adam never speaks!). Friend Adam is a version of our mascot if he were to have guested on the '80s Saturday morning cartoon, Garfield and Friends.| Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. In stretching our imaginations around repeating patterns, Bobby thought of Escher and tesselations. At the time, we were traveling a lot between LA and New York. Since The Hundreds was heavily influenced by the artists and culture that anchor these cities, Bobby drew a skyline that represents Los Angeles. When flipped upside down, it calls out New York City.
