Top 5 artist

It's kind of difficult to narrow it down to 5 artist, but I will post some of the most inspiring in my designs.

Growing up with skate, punk and everything urban, this guy has inspired my to continually push my self as a designer. Great stuff!!

1. Ed Templeton - http://www.toymachine.com/

I remember when I was in Hong Kong, there were soooo many great designers, and every kid was so trendy... (I kind of copy my style from them) And this "Bape" character was EVERYWHERE.

2. BAPE AND ORIGINALFAKE - http://www.original-fake.com/ http://www.bape.com/





3. stefan sagmeister - The man and the legend, it's all about concept with this
designer. http://www.sagmeister.com/index.html




One of my good friends from PR has his own clothing line, and I was very impress with his skills. Check it out.

4. Alexis Diaz - http://tasteartcompany.com/

The one that make stencils look cool again... In your face with the problems that don't affect you in the daily life but that definitely affect in a global scale, from wars to celebs... no body can't hide.

5.Banksy - http://www.banksy.co.uk/

I might not be teaching there but I'm keeping an eye on things. Templeton is the man. I wish I had known you were into him! Check out the film "Deformer" about Templeton by (my favorite artist) Mike Mills:
