Bomb Story: Sophie Sturdevant is a Denver-born and Chicago-based artist, who has developed a style over her career called SuperStacked. Sophie has a traditional background, but works in both physical and digital spaces. Regardless of media, her work and process play on a ""museum and mayhem” juxtaposition, leveraging line work and stippling to tell visual stories of womanhood — which is, like her work, complicated, abstract, and emotionally overwhelming. Sophie Sturdevant is one of two NFT-related artists that we collaborated with exclusively for the Adam Bomb Squad drop.| Background Story:
Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
