It's been a while dudes.Been working on some weirdness and radness for you guys and also taking a second to really address some health issues and random crud involving the brand.Forgive the little hiatus. But, it should pay off for you guys, just hang tight and keep rocking with us.
It's been kind of weird adjusting to the interactions that go alongside having a brand.There is a lot more to shirts than just making really good stuff and it's kind of a bummer when you have to learn and do everything all at once.
If you look at some pieces in the collection, they're kind of a subtle Nod to what we've been going through in the background while really pushing to do great work and keep quality people in the circle of HH.
If you can't tell, it's been a rough one, and the whole point of this release was kind of to just let go and relieve some stress.That Scrub Life tee was just an awesome Nod to going with what you feel and was inspired by listening to a heck of a lot of Tupac whilst soul searching.It turned out pretty darn good and the little details in the piece are something to behold once you get your hands on it.From the beanie to the boxers, there are all sorts of itty bitty Nods nestled in the design that don't overwhelm it, but compliment the piece just right.Random thing about it though, that orange makes me want an orange soda SO BADDDDDDDDD...so I can't look at it very long without buying one.First world problems I guess.
Funky Dealings was a long time concept come to life.It always seemed like a good idea to make a shirt for stinkers.We know them and live with them...and also smell them...haha.It didn't really come together until all these hardships dealing with people or "networking" came about.The lesson in the shirt is that if someone smells like a rat ,they probably are,trust your gut (and your nose) and stay away from that mess!
My favorite pieces to look at currently happen to be the Self Sponsoreds for sure.It was always an awesome piece and it just came and went,so a lot of fans missed out on it.Back in the day (before Funky Dealings),I didn't trust my gut and these two colorways that I thought looked best got ditched for the previous ones.So this is kind of an apology to those colorways (sorry Sylvester and Tweety) and a Nod to feeling confident enough to do what we feel with the brand/design.Speaking of....
I was told I don't do enough sneak previews,..that's kind of true and also not.I am not a fan of them.In streetwear,there is a lot of biting,brands big and small look for stuff to bite,tweak,or counter and call theirs..so it's weird to this day for me to give away free information to random people on the Internet.You have people that will swipe your entire brand concept,try to pack their envelopes like you,doodles,fruitsnacks,stickers,hashtags,the whole 9..I've even seen people start making the same faces as me in pictures!!!...they want to be you.So,I am sorry that stuff isn't always out there to see..but it's just not my thing being the small fry with the good ideas or the kid everyone copies off of for homework and tests...haha.Personal struggle I guess.But I will try to give you guys more tidbits on the Tumblr and Instagram.Also make sure to get on the mailing list.Stuff like hoodies and surprise releases come and go,we don't always reprint or re-release stuff either, so that is a super great tool to have a headstart and get a limited,high quality,well-designed piece of the HH randomness you've come to love so far.
Anyways,this is a little funky update fer ya's ...hope it explains some and helps out.Feel free to bug me on Twitter and Instagram (@hungryhuman), and we'll keep pushin'.Thanks to the fans rocking,repping,spreading,and supporting....we need you and this doesn't work otherwise.Try hard,Never Settle,and Stay Hungry. -h_h-
