"Sarcastic Clothing originally founded in 1996. The focus of the brand was and is alternative contemporary menswear, and it played a part in the pioneering of the street fashion movement of the 90’s. Since this was a developing market at the time, sales and distribution were focused in Japan and select US and European locations. The success of Sarcastic led to the opening of the brand’s flagship store in Harajuku which was open from from 1999 to 2004."
I worked there full time from 2001-2008, and have continued to contribute designs since then off and on up to current. This is an assortment of my favorite stuff from all those years. www.sarcasticclothing.com

I know there have been a lot of Slayer parodies over the years, but I did this one in 2002 and I thought it came out really well.
