Our latest merch drop features everyone's favorite croissant running through everyone's favorite city.  If we need to identify either of these by name, we can't be friends (jokes...but seriously).

I wanted to create a drop of graphic tees + fleece that featured crusty running through various parts of the city but while I might be a creative person, drawing is not my forte.  Luckily enough I knew someone far more talented than myself + so I reached out to him to see if he'd be interested.

Bernie Pesko is a graphic designer + illustrator based out of SF.   His love of the city is evident in the illustrations he created; he even made Karl the fog look delightful.

I met Bernie many, many years ago (we don't an exact number) while we were both working for Abercrombie, during peak Moose fever (the documentary got it right).  When I reached out to him about doing some work, he was stoked.  He's also a Crusty fan, which helps.  If anyone knows anything about manufacturing dog toys, he'd like a Crusty stuffie for his adorable dog Lucy.

Bernie also knows a good sandwich + is on a personal quest to find the best of the best in the city, which I think might deserve its own website (or at the very least a reoccurring post on our blog).
