Live In Color

Live in color means something very special to us. Take your life and live it to the fullest! Use the entire spectrum of color each and every day! Bad Monkey Designs has been inspired by a very talented young artist, which has spawned a new line of our already popular graffiti wear. We are pleased to introduce you to the Icon Collection - a collaboration between Bad Monkey Designs and Colorado's finest - Armando Silva! (We've mentioned Armando's work in past blogs, but just in case you hadn't seen those posts, you can read them here, and here.) The Icon Collection currently features 4 very recognizable faces, which we know you will just love. There's someone for everyone!


May we present to you the King of Rock and Roll! That's right - Elvis. Elvis has always rocked in our hearts, made us want to dance, and in a very deep voice say, "Thank you. Thank you, very much." Now you can show your love for Elvis by wearing the BMDEZ graff version of him on your brand new T-shirt, with a great tag line, "Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine".  Oh yeah. I'm in LOVE and all shook up over this one. Your friends will be, too when they see you sporting this icon!



The next icon we present to you is Muhammad Ali! Three time World Heavyweight Champion is the subject of this urban wear from Bad Monkey Designs and Armando Silva. "The Fight of the Century", "The Rumble in the Jungle" and "The Thrilla in Manilla" earned Ali his self proclaimed title of THE GREATEST! Ali never had a lack of praise to sing for himself. His most famous quote was that he could "float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee". We've watched him do both of these things with his unmatched talent. Wear this amazing graff T and let the rest of the world know that you can be THE GREATEST, too!

Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), also known as Biggie Smalls. The NOTORIOUS BIG (Business Instead of Game and, since his death, Books Instead of Guns) - like only Bad Monkey Designs can deliver. Armando Silva captured the big man so well in this painting, we just HAD to put it in the icon line! Nothing is more true to the urban hip hop music scene than the legend, Big Poppa. Here he is, in all his infamous glory, for you to wear all around town. Show your love and support for this icon by getting yours today!

The fourth icon hardly needs any introduction - already a favorite to BMDEZ - the one and only Bruce Lee, born on Nov 27, 1940 - in the year of the Dragon. From Enter the Dragon to Fists of Fury, there is no other martial arts movie star more recognizable than the The Dragon himself. Painted by Armando Silva, this urban wear was tagged by us with one of his famous quotes, "Be like water, my friend." Bruce Lee has been an icon for years, and will be for years to come. Get your Bad Monkey version of this familiar face, and impress all your friends with your new T! Why wait? Bruce wouldn't want you to.


As you can see, the collaboration between Bad Monkey Designs and Armando Silva brings us much joy, and allows us to showcase amazing artwork. We mentioned that there is someone for everyone in the Icon Collection, but fear not, friends! We are not done! Keep watch for more icons in the coming weeks and months. Since we were so inspired by Armando Silva's artwork, we wanted to translate that inspiration onto a graff t-shirt for you to enjoy. Be inspired! Inspire your friends! LIVE IN COLOR!
