Artist Launches Apparel Brand Inspired by Santa Monica’s Street Art

Growing up in Foster Homes in Compton, TSMOKE Found Solace and Inspiration in Art.

Originating from the street art scene of Dogtown, Santa Monica, TSMOKE APPAREL has officially launched, offering a collection that embodies the raw, authentic spirit of urban art.

TSMOKE APPAREL’s initial offerings include signature tees and hoodies, each piece crafted with premium materials to ensure top-notch quality. The brand’s ethos, “Real Gear for Real People,” underscores its commitment to authenticity and craftsmanship. As the brand grows, it plans to expand its product offerings and continue its mission of bringing Santa Monica’s street art spirit to the public eye. 

The brand was founded by the street artist TSMOKE, who said in a news release that “My life has been a constant struggle. The art game and all the artists that embrace TSMOKE saved my life many times. My philosophy of finding beauty in the struggle is reflected in each and every piece,”

Growing up in foster homes in Compton, TSMOKE found solace and inspiration in art. His life took a positive turn when he was adopted by a single father and relocated to the north side of Santa Monica, as explained in a news release. This blend of rising from difficult circumstances and being in tune with the streets has manifested in TSMOKE APPAREL. 

“Santa Monica has witnessed a remarkable renaissance in its art scene in recent years.” a news release stated. “Previously characterized by its reserved and hidden nature, the city has become a vibrant canvas for street artists. TSMOKE APPAREL is now the spearhead of this movement, bringing the underground art culture to the forefront.”
