José Parlá, born in 1973 in Miami to Cuban parents, spent the first years of his youth in Puerto Rico before returning to the mainland at the age of nine. Largely a self-taught painter, Parlá was awarded a scholarship to Savannah College of Art & Design and returned to Miami to study at the New World School of the Arts. In 1983 Parlá was painting on city walls and subway cars under the name Ease, during which he began to experiment on canvas in an attempt to translate the derelict environment of the urban cityscapes to a more permanent medium. In 1997 Parlá moved full time to Brooklyn, where he lives and works today.

One of three in a limited edition series, this 3 tee set features graphics commissioned by a judiciously assembled group of top designers/artists to represent the 3 major cities The Standards inhabit: Los Angeles, Miami, and it’s newest addition, New York City.

Because lettering directly reflects a certain person or region, selecting the perfect individual for each location was extremely important, hence, hand-picking ERIC HAZE from NYC, JOSE PARLA from Miami, and west coast’s NATAS KAUPAS for Los Angeles. Each of these artists were commissioned to write the city’s name in their own personal handstyle, making each a unique and recognizable representation for that area.

The days of receiving the typical, “my … went to … and all i got was this lousy t-shirt” tee from your friends and family when they travel are over.

Produced in New York, in collaboration with Tony Arcabascio, THE TOURIST TEE set consists of 3 different graphics offered in 2 different colour-ways. Each is packaged in its own reusable, nylon, monogrammed travel case, making it the perfect pre-wrapped, 2-for-1 gift.

Crazy Jake is all about super-size'n!

[alsbabar]

but it states they are limited editions - am i reading this wrong?
also given that no matter how many you purchase, why dont some forum members do a group purchase and cut down on the shipping costs?

MIAMI

I like the fact you cant really read it, dont really want a 'T' that blatantly has Miami written across it fo some reason. Its more about the pattern for me than the content on this im feeling

Im up for it, jus need to delegate a trusted forum member to collect the money. This should be as hassle free as possible though, money given to the chosen person by a cut off point and once paid you cant change your mind.....saves who ever does the order getting stitched up.....sound good ??

[alsbabar]

i got two, one of each, $75 postage is well out of order , lucky i know some in the US who will post it on to me for $5ish ;D

[alsbabar]

well i did offer to a group purchase - only person who put their hands up was Cashman, so we are splitting the cost of shipping, of course had more jumped in, the shipping would have been less

[alsbabar]

CASHMAN - I didnt want to have to resort to this, but why do you keep lying to me about paying me - you promised to pay me for the two tshirts back on the 13th December - I purchased you your tshirts, posted them to you and after several promises of paying the money in to my account - you still havent.

SO PAY UP!!!

NO ONE ON THIS FORUM SHOULD DEAL WITH CASHMAN UNLESS HE PAYS YOU FIRST!!!!

[daz205]

i maybe interested als if you dont get a response

point is Daz, I already bought them for him and shipped them to Cashman once I received them and the guy hasnt paid me for them after several promises that he will.

[curiousgeorge]

Think he is banned Als, in my experience he will come through

Damn trustifarians!

[cashman]

Well done Als.....Did I not tell you that due to the festive season to wait on sending me the items, as it could take me a while to pay ?? Did you then not tell me....nah bruv its all good....festive spirit n all that. Before you start badmouthing me, you should also remember that the shirts only got to me on monday, so you have been waiting for 4 days including new years....which means that in a place like I live, everythings shut....

ps you got my order wrong

bulls**t, you made up excuse after excuse about how you havent got internet and how you live in devon bollocks - you were going to do an online payment after the weekend of the 13th December, but you didnt appear online for over a week and I chased you up for payment, you then said you will pay online on 26th December, never happened, you were going to do an online payment 30th December never happened - and how the f**k did i get your order wrong, you wanted 1 black and 1 white, both medium in size, which is exactly what you got - do you want me to post the PM you sent to me stating your request?

Now cough and stop being a p*ick about it!!!
