sorrow UM
'There are a few different paths that a devoted family man can take immediately after a handful of his loved ones are prematurely stripped of life. One path leads to a realm of unanswerable questions and emotions. A world of defeat. Another path leads to a fantastical world, where art is used as therapy, colorful worlds are created, and a hidden passion is rediscovered in honor of lost love. A decade ago, SORROW chose the latter path. After adopting a name that summed up his feelings, he conjured up old inspirations like HR Giger and Aiden Hughes, and dove headfirst back into his childhood love of drawing, graffiti and skateboarding. For the last 10 years, he has used a mixture of acrylics, spray paint and inks to forge a galaxy of octopus-like skulls and Cronenberg-esque flowers mixed with a cup of street culture on everything from walls and trains to canvases and kicks. Now, both his life and his art are constantly getting brighter.' - Alex Pardee Juxtapoz Magazine

Harvester of SORROW!
The 2010 shirt is being printed as we speak! Once again we tapped the mind of MetClub's own Jake Won along with Bay Area artist Sorrow. His mixture of art, emotion, and love for music collide with his mixture of aerosol, inks and acrylics to make him a perfect fit for the 2010 club shirt.
"I was born in 1974 to an artist mother and musician father" says Sorrow. "I grew up looking at all my parents album covers and shirts of the 70's which inspired my love of metal and punk through the 80's and 90's. It's one of my biggest influences in my graffiti, fine art, and graphic design to this day." For more information on Sorrow, please visit his website atblackumbrella.weebly.com.
You'll be sure to stand out in this years club shirt, and to be sure of it, we made it glow-in-the-dark! But you can only get it with your 2010 Membership package!
2010 Membership packages are expected to ship by mid Feburary.
