Tribal Zoo studio notes
From ink
to street.
Every Tribal Zoo piece begins as an original graphic study. Tattoo-influenced linework, colour and city memory are developed for the garment first, then carried out of the studio and into the street.
Three parts of the process
Artwork made
to move.
01 / the study
Build the image.
Character, florals and movement are developed as one graphic composition rather than a borrowed motif.
02 / the garment
Find the colour.
Each study is checked against the available garment palette, so the linework, contrast and print placement hold their own.
03 / the street
Let it travel.
The finished piece is photographed in the city it was made for: oversized, wearable and built for after-hours movement.
