The Art Of Pac23

Dead Astronaut (Via)

Pac23, aka Francisco Perez is one of the last artists we worked with on our tshirt line, and he provided us with an amazing design that you can see on our upcoming Kickstarter! The Miami based artist has been on our radar for a while now, originally catching my attention with his morbid astronaut piece above, found uncredited on a Tumblr. It took me nearly 3 months to finally track it down to the source, where I discovered an awesome archive of his work.

Pac is a versatile artist, who has had a chance to work with clients including Nike, Kidrobot, Wired magazine, Capcom and a slew of other companies. His best asset in my opinion is his versatility, with styles ranging from straight out cartoony to painterly. There's a certain look and style that suits editorial work perfectly, and that also happens to be in Francisco's arsenal. One of my favorite parts about his website is his 'Wind Jazz' section, a personal area dedicated to awesome, stylish paintings of Panda's (Guess what inspired us to commission him?). Check out just a small handful of pieces from his portfolio after the break!
