Claudio Parentela

One of my favorite artists to have had the pleasure of working with over the last few years is Italy’s Claudio Parentela.

When I first encountered his work several years ago his stuff was primarily black and white drawings made with marker- raw, blunt, almost childish images from the subconscious.

As time went on he started experimenting with color and his art started taking on a real vibrancy.

Over the last couple of years he’s started incorporating elements of photo collage into his work, combining it with his drawing skills to make a new creation that thrills and excites.

We will be doing a new full-color shirt with Claudio within the next month or so, and we’re really excited about that.

Claudio’s work can be see on his Facebook page or his web site .
