SKETCH365 / COJO SIGNATURE / DNA STYLELAB CLOTHING LINE

The geniuses over at DNA STYLELAB.COM contacted me a few months ago to see if I'd be interested in participating in an interactive art and fashion experiment. They gave me my own gallery (two of them actually) where the site users- the consumers - would have free reign of whatever artwork I put in the lab. They can then experiment with color, size, scale relation, and layout. Whatever experiment they make will be a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art they can purchase.
In laments terms, the DNA STYLELAB prototype allows you to open up an artist's gallery and through experimentation and by honing your own personal style, design and print your own unique high-end clothing. You can choose multiple pieces from a gallery and put it on the same shirt, on the sleeve, on the back, front, it's all up to you.
Each piece in the artist's gallery can only be printed a limited number of times before they expire (5000 each I believe?) so the art doesn't get too overused and your creation is more unique. You can also create a shirt and give it as a gift, spreading your own personal style.
They did a great INTERVIEW WITH ME and there is an early version (with color photos) of the sketch365 animation loader that you will only find there.
There were only 20 of the best line-artists on earth (artists are from all around the globe) chosen for the launch of this experimental site.
COJO'S SKETCH365 STYLELAB allows you to create fashion using inked versions of various pieces from Cojo's SKETCH365.com drawing experiment.
THE COJO STYLELAB is outside of the sketch project. It's a gallery of random line art works I make whenever I feel like it.
These signature lines are all emblazoned with the COJO (R) logo.
Check out DNA STYLELAB to browse the other artist's galleries and chat with other art and fashion people on the message boards. Thanks to models Nicky and Robert.
