“Fresh” The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Print by Tracy Tubera

“Fresh” The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Print by Tracy Tubera

Long before Will Smith was a huge movie star and household name, Big Willie was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! Those of us who grew up in the ‘90s knew Smith well from his time with DJ Jazzy Jeff and his hit ½ hour comedy on NBC. If, like The Blot, you can still sing the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air word for word, then you’ll really love this new Will Smith x Nike inspired “Fresh” print by Tracy Tubera!

This sneaker inspired print features Will Smith sporting the dope Air Jordan V “BEL AIR” sneakers, which is a pretty perfect mash-up. “Fresh” by Tracy Tubera is a 8.5”x11” signed, numbered and hand embossed print and is limited to just 50 pieces. Originally dropped at Designer Con 2013, the remaining “Fresh” prints are now available for purchase through Tubera’s online store for $25 each!

Johnny Cupcakes “Frosty Crossbones” T-Shirt

Johnny Cupcakes “Frosty Crossbones” T-Shirt


Earlier this week Johnny Cupcakes released a new batch of holiday themed t-shirts, including this festive “Frosty Crossbones” design. Perfect for the chilly winter all of the US is already experiencing, “Frosty Crossbones” takes Johnny Cupcakes’ iconic logo and transforms it into Frosty the Snowman! While The Blot loves a good Big Kid mash-up, my favorite Johnny Cupcakes designs have always been these pop culture inspired Cupcake and Crossbones designs. What can I say, I’m a sucker for the original JC tee.

The “Frosty Crossbones” t-shirt by Johnny Cupcakes is currently available for $36 in sizes S-XXXL through the Johnny Cupcakes online store. Stay warm this winter!

Skullhead 6” White Resin Bust by Huck Gee

White Skullhead 6” Resin Bust by Huck Gee

On Wednesday, December 11th, Huck Gee released this beautiful Skullhead resin bust! Busts seem to be all the rage these days, and as long as they’re this epic The Blot says keep ‘em coming! The Skullhead bust was painted gleaming white by Huck, stands 6” tall and features pretty wings and a stone faced killer stare. I can’t wait to see what different colorways Huck has in store for us! Limited to just 50 pieces, the white Skullhead Bust retailed for just $100 via the Huck Gee online store. Honestly, that price feels like a steal considering how much Huck’s customs normally sell for. Unfortunately these busts sold out almost immediately upon release.
