Ultraviolet Mood

My sister and co-creator of Craghead is the one person in the world that knows how to kick my ass into gear...she also is probably the only person in the world who can convince me to act on my art and so, here we are. 

The mood board was excruciating but also one of my favorite bits of this little project. 

It's meant to be a nod to those vintage climbing magazine covers from the 70s and 80s. 

I’ve never cared for ultraviolet, but creating this has got me stuck on it. An electrified color that glows. The yellow and pop of red just came along organically. It's been exciting to start incorporating the themes of this board into our Craghead designs. 

One-of-a-kind handmade climbing tees coming soon : )
