New Trophy Hunting Art Gallery T-Shirt Collection

Art meets sport in this 5 t-shirt and hoodie offering from Trophy Hunting. For this collection,

Inspiration:

I wanted to bring the 2 things that motivate me and inspire me every day. My work is always centered around the value of success. From gold awards to money in the bank to a new job... When creating for Trophy Hunting, I wanted to make sure that we look at trophies as a representation for winning. Cars, statues in front of sports arenas, money, new toys, a degree… anything that you look to as a symbol for your accomplishment.

"AIR CASH MONEY MILLIONAIRE" for ZION WILLIAMSON & Jordan Brand By Dustin O. Canalin

Although this shoe will never come out (well, you never know, hint, hint Zion and Jordan Brand), I wanted to show my inspirations on imagining products through my art.

Pen and Pixel, has blinged out album covers since the early 90’s. Most notably Master P & his No Limit Records as well as Juvenile and Cash Money Records. Both from New Orleans. I was alway drawn to these covers. During the rush of southern hip hop artists in the 90’s and early 2000’s pen and pixel was everywhere. There style has inspired a lot of my work in the past.

This shoe was inspired by the Juvenile’s 400 Degreez Album. As a rookie Juvie was as anticipated as they come especially in New Orleans. I wanted to draw the comparison to Zion in the most literal way since that’s how the Pen & Pixel albums were created.

Trophy Hunting® A New Collection By DOC®

On September 16th I’m launching of a new brand called “Trophy Hunting” with a some of the most creative and smart people I’ve known for a long time. Check the site here to see what it’s all about.

With the initial launch, I wanted to pay homage to what inspired me the most to do what I do today. Oracle Arena was home of the Warriors for my entire life. The teams, the fans and even the building gave this team it’s legendary character that was definitely influenced by the surroundings of the East Bay.

For this launch we created a street memorial with details that help tell a romantic story about the teams move to SF. Just like most of my work, the every inch of this was designed. From the flowers to the memorabilia. But best of all the product is 2nd to none.

KYLE LOWRY BRINGS NBA TROPHY BACK HOME TO NORTH PHILLY

Kyle Lowry brought the Larry O’Brien trophy to North PHILLY.

I created the art based on his journey from the Cecil B. Moore Rec Center to the @nba championship.

The art was used on signage and T-shirts for a charity event at the Rec Center. More info here:

CUSTOM HOODIE

A custom hoodie created for a friend. Soon I will be creating custom hoodies for sale. Stay tuned.

BOOTLEG CHANEL HAT

This is a project I originally released in 2010. The concept of this hat is to challenge “inspiration” vs. “plagiarism”. Too often do brands/designers/creators lean on calling their work inspired. This work from afar is to appear as a high fashion label but when you see it up close it reveals multiple tonal embroideries that let you know it’s not “real”

Edition of 20 pcs

FOR INSPIRATION ONLY : RUN TMC POSTER

Run TMC has inspired my work to this day. One of the first “brands” that was in form of a basketball team. Run TMC provided endless inspiration on and off the court that led to a ton of marketing and creative that produced hundreds of ads, products and messaging. You couldn’t help but root for them.

Run TMC made up of Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin. A pioneer in basketball culture, this trio is just as relevant today as it was almost 30 years ago. Check out the doc below that was produced by SC and narrated by the amazing Scoop Jackson to learn about them.

FOR INSPIRATION ONLY : EASTBAY CATALOGUES

Today we follow “experts” to show us what’s next based on months/years of strategy to build awareness of future products( I am guilty if this). When new stuff drops, we have alerts set to buy at once. Or head to resellers to pay the markup. 

Back when the hunting was pure, and products didn’t drop every day, the sight of an @officialeastbay magazine was the first glimpse into deciding for yourself what you liked and wanted. The footwear from all brands, the clothing to match. Goal was to be the first or only person with it. Oh what a time. This particular cover was released and kicked off sales for the original JORDAN 11. Before this you had to catch the 1 second of the commercial that zoomed in on it or see it on a non HD TV during a game.  But if they were gone, you missed out. #sol Which is why these older styles have so much meaning today.

I wonder if when we look back 30 years from now what will have the same sentimental value to kids today?

Also shout out to the Kemp’s! 🏆🏀🔥 This is part of a larger series I’m working on and can’t wait to release.

FOR INSPIRATION ONLY - BEYOND THE STREETS NY

Had a chance to check out the Beyond The Streets Exhibit in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

Here’s some of my highlights. Be sure to check out the artists work. Amazing stuff.

FOR INSPIRATION ONLY - SLAM MAGAZINE

Before there was Ball Is Life or Overtime, we had to wait for SLAM magazine to come once a month to get our inside hoop news. Sports Illustrated was for old people and there wasn’t anyone covering basketball the way SLAM did. Shout out to one of my favorite writers Scoop Jackson. I read every single article he wrote in SLAM (Especially Nice & Smooth with Tim Hardaway and Latrell Sprewell) . I always said, that without SLAM, VHS Highlight tapes and Nike, I don’t know what I’d be doing for a living.

Since I grew up in the Bay Area, it was magazines like SLAM, Vibe and The Source that made NYC culture so interesting to me. I’m glad to have met a lot of the people who made SLAM happen and helped brands like AND 1 and any other basketball inspired people like myself to bigger things.

LONG LIVE ROARACLE SERIES

For 47 years “Oakland Coliseum” (later changed the name to the “Oracle Arena”), was the home of some of the most culturally relevant teams ever. Forever the underdog, the @warriors built teams that are part of history regardless of record.  It’s safe to say that the people of the East Bay were the common factor in each teams identity.

 To honor the time in Oakland and my personal connection to the teams through the years, I created skate decks to commemorate each era.  ** Capping sales at 100/ each deck. Available Now through Threadless!

2019 DANNY RUMPH CLASSIC BANNER ART

I created art for the 2019 Rumph Classic. This appeared on a 7’ x 4’ Banner on the baseline and on t-shirts.

More info on the Danny Rumph Classic Here:

The Danny Rumph Classic Basketball Tournament has become one of the premier basketball tournaments in the city of Philadelphia and the signature event for the Daniel E. Rumph II Foundation. The tournament is held in honor of Danny as a tribute to the game he and so many others love. Danny died of a heart condition in 2005 at The Mallery Recreation Center, now the Daniel E. Rumph II Recreation Center. My good friend, Mike Morak and some of his and Danny’s friends started the first Rumph Classic basketball event. What started out as something small in Philly has grown to one of the east coast’s most popular summer events.

The tournament aims to bring awareness to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), the leading cause of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) for today’s youth.

FOR INSPIRATION ONLY - DR. J'S BASKETBALL STUFF

Growing up I used to search for anything basketball. Looking at any video store for anything basketball, helped my understand why my dad like these older players. Looking back now, I’m glad I was able to educate myself. As the years went on the NBA had more videos to watch, and I saw them and studied them all. I’m still and avid collector and will some day curate a playlist. But in the meantime, enjoy!

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

dustinocanalin

As KD makes the move that I made long ago (The Bay to NY), and Andre trades in good mexican food for good BBQ, I wanted to reflect on the last few years. It’s definitely not the end of our DYNASTY, but a new page.
Thanks to KD and Andre for making the Bay your home and bringing championships to Roaracle. As the team brings in new faces and moves across they bay, we will never forget where we came from.

It’s been an amazing run for the@warriorsFamily (including me✊🏽) To commemorate the best team ever, I’ve created a one of a kind playing cards set titled “DYNASTY PLAYERS CARDS”. All 52 playing cards were hand illustrated by me. Edition of 100.

LONG LIVE THE HAMPTON’S FIVE!

KNICKS FREE AGENCY UPDATE - (With Apologies)
