TMOMs Artist Edition Tee: Michael Sweater

Over the past 21 years, we’ve been honored to work with a number of talented folks who help make TMOMs & the city of Philadelphia beautiful, and we’re ending 2018 with a new installment to our Artist Edition Tees from Michael Sweater, amazing comic book artist & author of “Please Destroy My Enemies“!

 

Michael’s comics can be found across the internet, including their Instagram & Patreon, and their round-headed characters can be seen battling the hurdles of anxiety, self-consciousness, and real life, all while making us giggle every step of the way. We’re thrilled to welcome Michael to this series with a new piece of wearable art!

 

Originally commissioned by us for an issue of the Philadelphia Secret Admirer, the inspiration for Michael’s piece was the irresistibly delicious food at Mom’s! “Tattooed Mom is the one place I know I can always find something to satisfy my hunger, no matter what dietary restrictions I have that month,” Michael said. “The vegan burgers are so good, [they are] my go-to even when I am eating meat.”

 

This Michael Sweater x Tattooed Mom Artist Edition tee will be released on December 17th. Available with white ink on a black tee, in a full range of sizes. Limited edition run, so make sure you grab one for yourself and all your TMOMs loving family & friends!

 

Model: Dan Perez • Photography: Elijah Snyder-Vidmar

 

Keep your eyes peeled in 2019 for Michael’s new project, Good Boy Mag, a comic magazine co-run by Michael and their partner, Benji Nate!

We’ll have some very special raffle items and rad day of show surprises. 100% of ALL sales will go to benefit the inspiring youth local arts programs at Fleisher Art Memorial and The Village of Arts & Humanities.

 

We hope you will share your sticker art with us and the world through Characters Welcome and spread the word about the show to your fellow artists, friends and family. The creative exchange and collaboration of this show is at the very heart of what we love to do here at Mom’s.

 

The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2018. Please include your artist name, any Instagram or social media handles and as many stickers as you’d like so we can give you proper credit & share your art with the world! Submissions will not be returned.

Spring Festival Mural ​Photo Booth ​curated ​by YOWIE x Tattooed Mom

 

About The Project – Mural Photo Booth is a collaborative project between beloved ​South Street ​bar Tattooed Mom and new Fabric Row ​home and life shop YOWIE. They chose two artists that speak to the fun, quirky​,​ and creative vibe of South Street and ​wanted to create a fun, Spring Fest inspired installation that begs to be interacted with.

 

About The Artists: 

Emilia Brintnall is a visual artist based in Philadelphia. Emilia primary works in paper mache sculpture, video and installation. Emilia creates work based on animals, plants, landscapes and everyday objects that are lumpy playful versions of their real forms. Often her sculptures and drawings transform into fantasy hybrid creatures or piles of characters.

 

James Dream is a multidisciplinary visionary artist. His current work involves creating spaces conducive to moving emotions, sparking imagination, and most importantly, play.

 

Be sure to stop by the mural photo booth installations on the 200 block of South Street during the Spring Festival on Saturday May 5 from 11am – 8pm. Feel free to take selfies, pics of your kids, family & besties & tag the artists (@emiliabrintnall & @flesh_prince) and #SouthStFest. Enjoy this fun life sized sidewalk photo booth.

 

This project was created with the generous support of Paradigm Gallery + Studio and the South Street Headhouse District.
