This season, artist David Trumpf collaborates with design and apparel brand Star Electric Eight Eight (SEEE) on a series of graphic tees and posters.
David Trumpf aka Datrumpf was born in France and worked in a jail for a few years before coming to NYC in the 90’s to begin his career as a designer and illustrator. This summer he collaborates with SEEE on a series of graphics entitled “X-Rated Romps” which showcases a selection of illustrations based on newspaper photographs. Each of these collaborative designs are available in men’s and women’s t-shirts and limited edition of 50 signed and numbered screen printed cotton rags.
To date Datrumpf’s work has been exhibited at Atlanta’s Design Museum (MODA) and Colette, Paris.

ON A SIDE NOTE
The ongoing series, TRASH: anycoloryoulike, began transforming trash in Harlem on June 13. Through the participation of local residents, artist Adrian Kondratowicz is continually replacing standard piles of trash throughout New York with a vivid new design that beautifies the city and calls attention to waste.
TRASH is an exercise in perception, showing how design serves to camouflage waste within cities. Individuals contribute by creating their own trash sculpture or commissioning a city block installation by visiting www.anycoloryoulike.biz.
The viral installation has been documented in the Lower East Side, Soho and the West Village and will continue citywide through September of 2008.
Those trash bags are cool. I haven’t seen any around the city yet but I’ll be on the lookout.
