Six Foot Owl… Watch Out Mickey

“After all, in the wise words of Mr. T, ‘Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt don’t wear clothes with your name on it, so why should you wear their name?’”

Using a quote like that to help explain 6 Foot Owl’s raison d’etre certainly earns them points here, because well, its just so true.  SFO is a new clothing label (or at least clothing embellisher) based on the pretty simple idea of sprucing up basic garments (such as Alternative Apparel T’s) with original hand painted art.  As they are all originals the range of designs is pretty broad, with some of them being significantly more compelling than others.  I must say that despite my general disdain for everything having to do with the resurgence of cassette tapes their “devil’s music” shirt is definitely worthy of note.  Most of the t-shirts are priced between $60 and 80, which is a lot for a shirt, but a pretty reasonable number for a piece of art.  I guess its up to the buyer to decide if they are buying art or apparel before their purchase to establish what kind of value they are getting.  According to the website (presumably) lower priced screen printed shirts are coming soon.   Hopefully a website restructuring is also on the way, as the site unforgivably gives precious little real-estate to photography making it very difficult to view designs.  Oh yeah, this one rocks too:
