But, i think you guys are in a completely different market. Although catering to some clients around the nation the majority of what you do is centered around where you live. I can tell you that this style is still really active and selling in california. Plus in my opinion, i don't think anyone here designs this style or even likes it a whole lot. It just doesn't do well on emptees. Although everyone here has their own style (mostly) you guys are all seem to do designs for the same crowd. 1865 Post 2008-03-13T11:15:18-04:00 48491 182 2008-03-13T11:20:11-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Ray Frenden said:</cite> Hydro is a friend/e-cquantance.

I guarantee. emptees love monsters,zombies,super Color, and wild big designs. (im not saying that just because of frendens work is loved here, its a general theme i see... zombies/monsters/booger snot orchestra) also, i have to defend TWhite. Hyrdo74 and Troy work together and even hang out, so theres a reason they are similar. besides TWhite has hooked me up with some work he didnt feel was his style, and it was bank. 1865 Post 2008-03-13T16:13:12-04:00 48669 2865 2008-03-13T16:14:08-04:00 oh yes i agree ^. 1865 Post 2008-03-13T16:36:16-04:00 48690 954 2008-03-13T16:36:16-04:00 These are some of the most talented dudes around. Hydro is basically the whole reason I got into apparel design in the first place, and what he's doing with Back in Black is frickin genius. Its not the hardest style to rip, and frankly skulls will never be played out. Zombies though... 1865 Post 2009-04-10T18:13:26-04:00 435444 12163 2009-04-10T18:13:26-04:00
