Bad Monkey Designs

Bad Monkey Designs - Graffiti Inspired Urban Wear Yep. That's the tag. That's what it's all about. But....what does it mean? Well, let's start by telling you that Bad Monkey Designs was the brainchild of one Christopher Sosa (or "Sos" - as all his peeps call him) in May of 2006. Sos wanted to bring the gritty, urban feel of a back alley onto the threads of those daring enough to sport them. Art, graffiti, and music has always played a huge role in his influence, so it only seemed fitting to make this his artistic outlet. The designs you see today on our merchandise are all inspired by actual graffiti that has been photographed, or that is on display on street signs or subways or sign posts or underpasses....all over the world. By taking an element of the design that catches his eye, Sos will use these sprayed works of art as a guide in creating something of his own. Most often, they are free hand drawings by the man himself, based on all the hot illustrations out on the streets. So - to all the spray can warriors out there - keep up the fantastic work! Your innovation, confidence, and originality are inspiring to all of us! And who knows - maybe someday you'll see that a rendition of your own artwork has crept into Sos' mind... "Art is not a crime and graffiti never dies." - Sos
