We’ve said it before, but when it comes to doing contracts with artists, and designing products with them, it seems many brands find it’s easier to get deals done when the artist is dead<\/a><\/strong>. Roark<\/strong> seems to agree as they’ve launched a new collection of clothing featuring the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat<\/strong>, who sadly died at 27 (he’s in the club<\/a><\/strong>) from a heroin overdose on August 12, 1988.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s beyond special to present this collection inspired by the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat and share it with Roark fans,\u201d said Roark Founder Ryan Hitzel<\/strong>, \u201cWe explore the merger of rhythm and flow with his iconic symbolism, raw creativity and challenging of the status quo. We find the best version of ourselves in that state of mind, whether we\u2019re surfing, running or adventuring through the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously the collection looks great. As it did when Billabong did the same thing in 2018<\/a><\/strong>. For a complete overview, please visit Roark’s website . . . which we’re assuming is on the Internet somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
