AdamBombSquad #24441

Bomb Story: Adam Bomb Squad is a worldwide phenomenon with artists and contributors chiming in from around the globe. Artist Iwan Smit hails from The Netherlands and contributes this Adam Bomb to the collection. As far as the meaning? ""I don’t like pre-chewing the content of the illustrations, and I find it hard to answer the question of what the story is behind the images.” In other words, Smit likes it when people let their own imagination tell the story.| Background Story: Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
