the Payola Collective

In 2007 BFC was celebrating it’s ten year anniversary. The theme of everything we did that year was Created to Create, which is also the name of the documentary I made about BFC. We wanted a shirt that showed a multitude of tools used to be creative. After handing the project to a number of designers that did some pretty nice stuff but never really nailed it, I took a stab at it. My idea was to make a kind of mosaic with the pieces being the tools of creativity.
Yes, it is gold foil but remember, this was in 2007 when Gold foil was everywhere and not just on affliction apparel.
This is still one of my favorite designs not because of the end product but because of the memories of that year in BFC. We had so much fun designing the tour, van decals, ten year Banquet, and the BFCDFL tattoo that is on my wrist now.
