REBEL8, the clothing and accessories line that features Mike Giant’s artwork, has great new styles for the ladies this coming Fall season. Mike Giant’s drawings, all done in Black Sharpie, translate perfectly to screen printed tees. The collection included tees and fleece in white, black and gray and many of the graphics featured Giant’s trademark tattooed ladies, skulls and references to San Francisco and bicycle culture.  As a fan of Mike Giant’s work, I love seeing his pieces of wearable art - his aesthetic is timeless and always looks fresh.  To see more photos read the full story.

I’m a reformed graff kid but carrying a Sharpie everywhere I go is something I may never be able to shake. Needless to say, I nearly lost it when I saw that graffiti/tattoo legend, Mike Giant, now his very own signature Sharpie! Here’s what Mike has to say about this amazing achievement:

“I’ve been inking every drawing with my signature REBEL8 Sharpies. I’ve been drawing with Sharpies almost exclusively since 1990. If someone then had told me that I’d have a Signature Sharpie someday, I would have laughed at them. But it’s 2008, and I make a living drawing with them. How crazy is that? Thanks, everybody.�
