We are Shelby and sandy and we're in our studio in Downtown Los Angeles and we're
gonna show you guys a little collection we put together with BELLA+CANVAS and
Apliiq we're brothers we've been working together forever and it really
really quickly turned into we thought that this could be like a business that
people would want to buy our work and it happened we liked it because it was so
fun and then we thought this could be we could do this professionally the quality was really good
much like our Bella Canvas apparel good plug if we were to describe our art it would be
contemporary and the main thing that we're trying to accomplish is it makes
us happy and we hope that our artwork and paintings make other people happy I
think we find our inspiration through our daily lives it's really special
since we're brothers we grew up together and we had a really good childhood a
very happy good loving home and a lot of our
artwork inspiration is drawn from the feelings and Happiness that we had in
our childhood yeah so we use a lot of bright colors we like things very vivid
and we always like the paintings to give you a feeling of happiness
so our vision for this apparel collection was heavily on embroidery
sandy and I in our own business have gotten really interested in embroidery
like exploring like the different techniques and there's a lot that goes
into it we did the Shelby and Sandy are nice which is actually in the back of
our studio it's what would you call that is it a
slogan it's no it's our sentence it's just a sentence right kind of like a
motto yeah motto I like that yeah I necessarily
don't know the difference between a motto or a slogan but a motto sounds better the
other designed to on the joggers is our faces right yeah that's our logo so we
have Shelby's face and Sandy's face on there and then the third design is a
skull and we've always liked skulls I think probably from Halloween our
favorite holidays Halloween's that's why we love skulls we have a good collection
of skulls actually yeah and then this skull has a gold tooth because Shelby
has a gold tooth I mean obviously sandy and I like to be
comfortable and we like we have a certain dress style and the BELLA+CANVAS
line has a lot of the styles that we like and to be able to make our own
version of the stuff we would already wear that's fun to do so we want other
people to have the things that we make it's just a more comfortable version of
what we wear it's it is it's so it's like butter on your skin
my name is Ian and at Apliiq we help people start and grow clothing lines to
help with design and manufacture apparel we run a lot of things in bulk and we
help people buy drop shipping for their e-commerce stores super excited to work
with Shelby and Sandy love their art super simple very fun and I really like
the idea that they came up with going for embroidery I just felt that the
embroidery really matches their artwork and we could get a really good result
with it so their artwork was super fun and simple had a bunch of colors it's
really well suited to do embroidery we used a handful of different stitches a
lot of the lettering is done with satin stitches or otherwise known as a column
stitch we also used fill stitches for some of the bigger areas like filling in
the back of the faces and stuff like that so for artists I would just think
about like what is gonna translate best for their type of artwork if you're
doing like oil paintings embroidery might not be the best fit for you but if
you have like fun and simple designs like embroider it can be a great way to
go so it just really depends on the type of artist you are the type of artwork
you want to create and make sure that you're picking an apparel approach that
really matches that we got the hoodies we got the t-shirts we got the pants and
I mean it's so good like I want to live in this it's the most comfortable hoodie
I've ever worn and the quality of the embroidery is exceptional they really
really really you guys killed it I love it I'm never taking it off alright see
you guys later thank you so much
