Sprays bag:
As my notoriety grew in the strange purgatory between graffiti and fashion, a legendary figure in graffiti had reached out in need of a niche product specific to his lifestyle. His name is Spray. He wanted a bag custom made to aid him in his acrobatic street art which includes activities like scaling billboards to inscribe his name, writing on the side of bridges, and using 20 foot telescopic ladders to spray his name on rooftops. This forced me to think critically and account for a wide range of factors that might influence his safety and success. He spoke about the chill of being so high up and how occasionally his cans of paint can freeze. This made me include a wool layer between the face and lining to keep the paint warm. I also made the bag flexible enough to carry a sufficient amount of paint, but compact enough to not leave the user overencumbered. I placed a pocket on the strap along the chest for small necessities like different paint caps and nozzles. The artist is a lefty so I placed the zipper on the bag in a place he could reach with his left hand. Lastly I placed a flexible texon fiberboard(used for lasting sneakers) between the mesh on the back and the lining to protect the user from feeling heir bags contents on their back, and I included mesh for comfort.
