Ralph Lauren Boyfriend Jeans are Bullshit, Pt. 2

A few weeks ago I got this little rant off my chest:


I want to make it clear that while I called RL paint-splattered Boyfriend jeans "poser-gear", I do appreciate people finding artists's style inspiring and wanting to incorporate it into theirs. It is flattering. My issue is not really with the person who wants to wear a jean that has paint splatters on it, but with that who would rather hand over $165 for a brand name label rather than $20-$30 to an actual working artist who would most-likely be happy to add some authentic flare to a pair of jeans.

Imagine my surprise (and joy) when I heard from one of my collectors who watched the video that she would be sending me a pair of her jeans! She actually sent two. They lived with me in the studio for a week, at times actually "painting" with me as I placed them over my apron while I worked. Below, I am including a screenshot of RL Boyfriend jeans and a few of MY very own Gascot "BF" jeans (why not, I could be your friend, and I am a boy).

Don't be shy. Tell me what you think.
Want an authentic artsy jean? As I mentioned in the video, email me at jgascot@gascot.com and send me yours. I'm happy to do the job at a fraction of what the non-painter big brand name designer guy charges.

Let's make some art!

Double Trouble

Meet Delicious Diva and Pretty Pretty Pirate.
Born of a single stencil and separated shortly thereafter, this pair of divinely devious sisters are gracing these new artist-made Latin Pop Shop tees.
While Delicious Diva made her dreams of becoming a fashion icon true, Pretty Pretty Pirate packed up her cosmetic bag and took off for the high seas in search of booty (boo-tay) and adventure.

Delicious Diva Tee available from Latin Pop Shop.
