New Goods from Fur Face Boy

Via: http://www.inmyshortsleeve.com/

After a bit of a hiatus, Fur Face Boy is back with a super limited release. The drop includes six new tees, one zip-up hoodie, as well as sticker and button packs. I’m a huge, HUGE, fan of Fur Face Boy. His designs are playful and everything he puts out is top quality. I’m still consistently rocking tees that I got from him over a year ago.

Act quickly, because each item was produced in extremely limited numbers. He’s already out of XS’s, or maybe he didn’t produce any, so I’m out of luck. But, hopefully you can get goods in your size. Make your orders via Fur Face Boy.

Need it, Want it: Public Trust and Fur Face Boy Have a Limited Edition T shirt

Via: http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/

"Public Trust, why does one love?"

"Fur Face Boy, because loving only yourself would be foolish." 
 
We're digging this collaboration trend, especially when it translates into wearable art created by local designers. This Thursday, Ha Mai (who you know as Fur Face Boy) and The Public Trust will release this great new t-shirt at an equally cool event.
Billed as An Evening with Fur Face Boy, you'll cozy up to an informative chat with Ha Mai who will explain how he successfully transitioned into self-employment as an artist/illustrator/apparel wizard. He'll answer questions, give advice on branding and marketing your craft and discuss the ups and downs of being your own aesthetic boss.
It's free, and happening from 7 to 9 p.m. at The Public Trust. They've only pressed 60 of these tees, so Thursday could be your only chance to snag one. They cost $25.

Here is the second collaborative effort between The Public Trust and Fur Face Boy. This shirt is deep, like A River Runs Through It deep.

Only 60 of this will be available for purchase at $25.
HERE’S THE BEST PART! Purchase this or any of our Sunday Peoples shirts and get a MYSTERY SHIRT for FREE! So if you buy 2 shirts you will walk out with 4 shirts…WHAAAAAAAT!

Join us this Thursday, January 31 for an evening with Fur Face Boy. We will kick things off with a talk that starts at 7pm. FFB creator, Ha Mai, will talk about his brand, his personal background as a graphic designer, how he came about the Fur Face Boy brand, how to market your brand, what to avoid, pursuing a life that YOU want to live, plus answering any questions that you may have for him.

To top it all off he will be releasing some new product which includes the second FFB X THE PUBLIC TRUST collaborative t-shirt (in an edition of 60). It is going to be a great night, hope to see you there.

Astro Fur 3.0 T-Shirt by Fur Face Boy

 
Astro Fur 3.0 T-Shirt by Fur Face Boy

For the past few months Ha of Fur Face Boy has really changed up his game. Instead of releasing planned t-shirt collections, he’s been randomly dropping previously unannounced limited edition designs through the FFB online store. These t-shirt designs have tied into everything from hit summer movies to the 2012 London Olympics, but for yesterday’s design Ha went old school. Back when Fur Face Boy first launched in 2009, Ha released a very low run of the original Astro Fur tee based on the hit Japanese manga series Astro Boy. Then last year for FFB Series 6, he released a second version of the design dubbed “Astro Fur 2.0”. Well, Ha is bringing back Astro Fur once again, but this time with a galactic twist!

Astro Fur 3.0 by Fur Face Boy continues with 2.0’s dissected theme, but surrounds our fur faced hero in a space landscape featuring a crazy array of psychedelic colors. Astro Fur 3.0 has a limited edition run size of only 20 pieces and retails for $27.99 at the Fur Face Boy online store. If you want to get your hand on this trippy tee act fast, because sizes are limited and many have already sold out.
