Upper Playground Bird Brain Sam Flores Tee- The Upper Playground Bird Brain Sam Flores Tee lets you wear art from a truly distinctive artist. Sam Flores was born in 1975, immersed in the stark beauty of the New Mexico desert. In 1995, he migrated to San Francisco seeking the bohemian lifestyle of the Bay Area. Like most teens of the late 80's and early 90's, Sam was involved in the street cultures of skateboarding and graffiti writing. From 1995-1998, these roots in urban expression helped him land freelance gigs doing graphics for skateboard and clothing companies. A fusion of the places his lived, Sam combines natural beauty with the urban landscape in his art. We get the idea with the Bird Brain tee—which features a boombox with birds flying out of it—nature with an urban feel.
