Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, Never Forsake Clothing Co. known for shaking the cages with universally loved pop culture icons approached me with a mashup concept inspired by the amazing work of Ron English. The concept takes the classic Pokemon character Meowth and mixes in a little Simpsons nostalgia re-imagined in true Maneki-Neko fashion. The design was made into tees and pitched as a design for custom vinyl toy production.
