Feeling High From This Dope Client + Spray Paint Fumes
Back in December 2020, I had the amazing opportunity to hand paint some jackets for RIFF and their influencers Piper Courtenay, Dejan Stanic, and Braydon Chapelas.
To kick off the collaboration, I had the chance to speak to each of these tastemakers to get a sense of what they like and what they want customized on the jackets. After that wrapped up, I hunkered down in my home office and got to spraying. Thanks to the cold Calgary weather outside and short daylight hours, some (aka most) of this spraying had to be done indoors.
Each jacket features the RIFF brand colours and an emoticon, a throwback to the predecessor of the modern day emojis. The concept was to go back to the basics but allow each influencer to choose the emoticon that best expressed their personality on the jacket. The influencers could also choose a phrase that best represented them and their personal brands.
I am high off of the spray paint fumes. Kudos to my boyfriend for tolerating the smell and mess I’ve unleashed on to the house + being an excellent jacket model 😌
