I’m just waiting for the streetwear version of this to come out

american-comfort-quilt

The American Comfort Quilt designed by Bradley Price & Joel Yatscoff.

This handmade art piece, a limited series of ten, includes 58 logos of mass-market retailers, fast food chains and other corporations that participate in the creation of the contemporary North American identity and condition.

Iconic North American brands such as these give us both comfort and identity, yet we feel ambivalent or even negative toward their hegemony over our cultural and economic landscape.  This quilt examines the problematic balance between familiarity and alienation.

Limited Edition of 10.

Dimensions: 78.75″L x 60.6″W

Materials: Cotton, Polyester.

    Oh, I meant that the quilt would be filled with streetwear logos and such. Anyway, that D*Face cross is super nice.

    Thanks
