The Hundreds and Grizzly Griptape introduces its second collaboration offering, rooted in friendship and mutual respect between both brands and feature illustrations done by prolific graffiti artist, illustrator, and war photographer KC Ortiz.

Editors’ Update (3:07 PM April 27, 2017): After a short time off the Twitter air, Neal was back up with the following message:
Guess I got hacked. Sorry if you got spammed. Hope you got to see some nice boobs
