Oakland-based artist Nat Russell's t-shirts for Mollusk Surf Shop showcase his increasingly recognizable style. My favorites include "Sea Kat" featuring his signature pipe-smoking lion motif, the "Kyle" shirt which has a wavy-bearded man that bears an unintentional resemblance to musician Kyle Field of Little Wings and "Totally Stoked" one of three new designs for women available in two colors.

All shirts are printed on the highest quality soft t-shirts from Article.1 organic collection.
Russell also recently created a skateboard design which is available from Rad Distro ( image after the jump) and his band Birds of America is recording a new album. You can follow his various projects via his blog Crooked Arm.
The Nat Russell tees are available for $24 online from Mollusk Surf Shop and at their stores in San Francisco, New York and Venice Beach.

ID Prints extreme-sports action images are cause for any radical aesthete to rejoice. Their purchasable posters are "staccato-quality offset prints," or in other terms, they are crisp and clean. Produced using only first-rate materials and processes these posters offer both action and integrity that is hard to match.
