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.

Though they formed last year in Brooklyn, The Kiss Off could easily pass as Manchester natives from the early '80s. The band was founded by guitarist Adam De Rosa and bassist Nathan Lithgow, who lay distorted melodies over catchy drumming and synth drones. Sam Tyndall's vocals complete the band, which sounds something like a better-produced Joy Division or a more brooding Franz Ferdinand. The...
