Much of MadGods inspiration is derived from the remnants of past culture. These veins of originality are no longer with us in the form of authentic style and rebellion that existed in the formative years of youth culture, music, skateboarding and the independent artist. Most only recognize the patterns left in the wake of original influence.

MadGods has always taken a fondness to the interpretation of our own subcultures by foreign voyeurs, more specifically, the methodical breakdown of western music and skateboarding imagery and styles by Japanese Otaku cool hunters at the turn of the millennium. Using this fondness as a filter of sorts, we touch on realms of thought that we once believed were slowly becoming extinct with a new generation of youth that don’t remember a world before the internet. Using a familiar aesthetic, we perfect the art of dressing sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Employee Exclusive tshirts for QUI Austin

June 14th, 2013

Here’s some shots of one of our fave model’s, Jessica Dark,  wearing a MadGods designed tee made exclusively for the employees of one of America’s most anticipated culinary establishments.

Qui, by chef/owner Paul Qui , is set to open doors. To celebrate the end of months long training, Qui commissioned MadGods to produce these exclusive tee’s as a gift for their kitchen hit squad. And it really is an A-Team, with a pedigree pulled from America’s top fine dining kitchens coast to coast including Uchiko, Eleven Madison Ave., L2O, French Laundry and several more. We were so stoked to get this opportunity we knew we had to bring in our own specialist at Mexican Chocolate Design to hit this one out the park. With a set of Laguiole steak knives given to us as an inspiration, and logo art provided by PeeLander Yellow, MCD gave us this ultracolor print we produced on top quality American made bodies for their employee’s to rock. Here’s wishing good luck to Qui and crew on their opening  and please come out some night and have a cocktail and a white cheddar cheese ice cream sandwich with your folks on the patio.

More pics after the link.
