Brooklyn Artist Series Teaser #2 On Location in Brooklyn

We commissioned three well known local artists to create a tee shirt design based on what inspires them. The process itself was very inspiring for us! For the tee design, we thought a lot about what kids love, how they make art, and how open and potent their imagination can be. Creativity is very important at Soft, and as a former educator, I am so happy to be able to support both local artists and art education through this creative project." States Soft Founder, Jessica Ralli.

What Inspires Our Artists

Ipswitch Tee:
Drawing by Timothy Hull, Artist
"I am inspired by patterns, phenomenon and antiquity. This particular drawing, however, was directly inspired by my 1975 Cape Dory Typhoon sailboat."

Graffiti Tee:
Photo silhouette concept and design by Gisel Florez, Photographer
"I am inspired by adventure. Within my photographs, I try to convey the energy and emotion associated within the subject."

We Tee:
Mixed media collage by Ellen Letcher, Artist
"I love photography, painting & design. I am inspired by love and imagination, and this mixed media collage was inspired by the differences between robots and humans."
