The 2007 Fall Collection marks the first series of clothing from artist Jeremy Fish. The San Francisco artist’s rise to fame can largely be associated with his characteristically witty and interesting designs. For Jeremy Fish, the commodification of his art in t-shirt form has been a way of expression which he feels is an important notion. Although some may feel that making art readily available has a cheapening effect, in reality the ability to make it more accessible is of far greater importance as many more people enjoy the art. The superFishal line is a jump-off collection which launches in association Upper Playground. Look for superFishal to hit select dealers in the coming weeks.
