Stussy Feature: Basil Wolverton

Stussy recently sat down with the son of famed illustrator Basil Wolverton for a chat regarding his father’s legendary art while producing a feature highlighting its new line of t-shirts showcasing Wolverton’s timeless style. A release for the tees can be expected tomorrow, November 14th while an introduction into the feature can be seen below.

One of the most well-respected cartoonists and illustrators from the golden age of comics book, Basil Wolverton was best known for his grotesque caricatures and work with Mad Magazine. Last Summer, The Gladstone Gallery in New York City exhibited a retrospective of his work, showcasing it for the first time in a gallery setting.
