Upper Playground Sneaker Head Sam Flores Tee

Upper Playground Sneaker Head Sam Flores Tee – The Upper Playground Sneaker Head Sam Flores Tee lets you display your love for shoes and art at the same time. 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. His figures tend to be somewhat anonymous, even masked in some instances, yet still full of personality and emotion. He effortlessly combines broad fields of color and finely rendered detail, creating paintings that are engaged on many levels. This palette tends to lean toward earth tones, perhaps an homage to the colors of his youth in New Mexico. The Upper Playground Sneaker Head Sam Flores Tee brings out the shoe lover in everyone.
