We are glad to introduce to you the result of a collaboration with bastard and one of its favourite artists: the Sanseb t-shirt designed by Jim Houser.

We met Jim during “The Tip of the Sword”, his solo exhibition at Patricia Armocida’s gallery in Milan. Jim paid a visit to the bastard bowl and we fell in love with his work, intense, striking and colourful but calm at the same time.

Jim Houser is an american artist, skateboarder and musician grow up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the city where he currently resides. He is one of the founding artists of Space 1026 and one of the most prolific artists at Toy Machine skateboards. Houser’s works have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, Australia and Brazil. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Harry up the t-shirt Sanseb is available online now in black or white.
