Swatches (not watches)

When my favorite comic artist Jeffrey Brown told me that he has a nine-month-old little boy, I immediately called up my sister Angelyn for some Kumquat goods to send him. Perfect timing. She had some new gear that Wendy and I had worked on. When it comes time for a new line, I'll scribble a bunch of ideas on paper, which Wendy turns into patterns. Ang gets the fabric made and incorporates it into some of her new clothing lines.

Above is the owl print, which is actually on a hoody. I drew nothing but owls for a couple nights, and it turned out really well. There are two colorways, and I hear that someone was selling the material on eBay. WTF? Someone at the fabric shop must have snagged the overrun...



Here's another print. Boys clothing often has airplanes, boats, cars, and trains, but we hadn't seen anything with helicopters. I think the shapes are kind of mod looking. There was one design with little dudes and animals in the cockpits, but in the end, you can't have characters on all the prints.

I hope Jeffrey digs them.

Wait until you see the panda prints. Holy crap. They're awesome.
