Modern Amusement Collaborative Artist Series
December 11, 2008 | Levent OZLER
Modern Amusement, the label known for showcasing graphic sensibility and intelligent sense of humour on their own version of the canvas - the t-shirt - is introducing the "Artist Series" this spring, a wearable art collection.
The inaugural collection features L.A based Eric Nyquist and Brooklyn's Jonathan Cammisa who put their own unique twist on the brand's trademark crow logo.
Each season, Modern Amusement will add to the series by releasing a new design from a range of global designers.
Eric Nyquist merges industrial and organic in his detail drawings; with each one the viewer is forced to get up close to study overlooked details.
While the details create complex imagery, they also reference an increasing dependence on technology and its ability to distribute information.
Its interpretation of the Modern Amusement's crow perfectly reflects his signature style.
Jonathan Cammisa's illustrations are dark, morbid and beautiful all at the same time.
His design for Modern Amusement is as unsettling as a horror movie.
Jonathan is currently looking to "expand his flannel collection and taking more hikes" and his representation of the x-ray of a smiling crow witnesses this mix of humour and darker inspirations.
