STUSSY X PROJECTS...

STUSSY X Futura 2000, an internationally acclaimed graffiti artist. He started to paint illegally on New York's subway in the early seventies, working with other artists such as ALI. More recently, he is a successful graphic designer and gallery artist. One of the most distinctive features about Futura's work is his abstract approach to graffiti art. While the primary focus, during the 1980's, of the majority of graffiti artists was lettering, Futura pioneered abstract street-art, which has since become more popular. His most prolific work is as an illustrator and graphic designer of record sleeves, first becoming involved with The Clash; producing a sleeve for their "Radio Clash" 7" single and handwriting the sleeve notes and lyrics sheet for their LP Combat Rock. Years later James Lavelle resurrected his career by getting him, alongside Ben Drury, to produce the artwork for several releases on Mo' Wax records; this also led to Futura producing the imagery which has largely defined James Lavelle's UNKLE project. Recently much of Futura's artwork is channeled towards the production of highly collectible toys(Nosferatu), and during the 1990's he was heavily involved with clothing companies such as Subware, Phillie Blunt, WTAPS, Maharishi, Zoo York, Nike, and GFS.
