The sales from these two will allow me to keep bringin’ ya badass designs by some of the raddest artists walkin’ the Earth.

I’d like to extend a HUGE thanks to Ripple Music for the use of the killer track by the band Mos Generator!

Heavy Clothing – Propaganda 1

February 12, 2015 by Tim Granda

I’m really stoked to announce that I’ve teamed up with Heavy Clothing for three animated shorts, the first of which you can see below! Heavy is without a doubt my fave clothing co., so it’s been a fuckin’ trip puttin’ this first one together. The artists Zac Doom brings to the table are the best dudes around, and to have the opportunity to animate their work is insane. If that wasn’t enough, Zac also brought in the band Mothership off the Ripple Music label to provide all the killer music for these films. With all these rad folks on board, how the hell can ya fuck that up? Seriously, click on all those links and you’ll see for yourself that this crew is the real deal.

Some of the artist you’re seein’ in this flick are Scott Trerrotola, Mike Mastrangelo and David Paul Seymour (both of whom I’ve had the great fortune of speakin’ with), and also Matt Wilkins (who’s interview is right around the corner). Once the films are complete, you’ll be able to catch a one-film special-edition on the Doom Cycle channel at Motornation.tv which will feature all three films tied together with brand new footage! It’s gonna melt your mind!
