« New Shirt Design from Hungry Human, Better Together, Now Available for Preorder »
Even in times where it can be rough, there are people that will always care about you.
The newest design from Hungry Human is all about that camaraderie. Influenced by creator Larry Smith's past experience, "Better Together" shows both Drum H. Sticks and Waffle H. "Wawful" Batter as the best of friends walking with high spirits. Despite Drum's outgoing temper and Wawful's more snarky behavior, they are the right match for each other and will be ready to face the world.
Better Together is available for preorder now in both t-shirt and crewneck sweatshirt. Both versions are available in white, heather black and heather grey colors. In addition, Smith wants people to spread the word about these shirts to friends, family and other close ones. Bringing everyone together much like Drum and Wawful are. The more support for these shirts, the stronger the message will become. Who doesn't like chicken and waffles anyways?
The shirts are set to ship midway through November. You can read a detailed background of Better Together's creation below.
The original concept came from being stranded in Los Angeles and eating a bunch of chicken and waffles between selling shirts on the street to get home.
I had a rental car full of tee shirts, no one at the event was buying them ( I didn't have a table), and the only time they came together and everyone responded was when I'd post a picture of chicken and waffles...no matter where I was at, who I talked to, they all responded to that.
I use that reference often to explain the fighting game community to outsiders. None of my family gets it, none of my friends outside of gaming get it, and I always say that it's like chicken and waffles: it sounds weird, but once you have it the right way, you understand and it's all you want.
The intent of the collection is for you to share it with friends,family,and people close to you or that you'd like to be close to.Everyone is supposed to look different and it has a mix,match,and borrow vibe to it. Kind of like you would do with a parent,friend, sig. other etc. ... where you might borrow their clothes or you might get the opposite colorway stuff so you guys aren't matchy matchy.Some couples will inevitably do the opposite and go for matchy matchy, and that's cool too, that's your way to rock it.
The cool thing about this collection is it doesn't really end. It gets stronger as more people support and buy into it (you guys will see what I mean at a later point). So I'm really excited for it and to see what you do/how far you get it.I'll leave it at that.
Hopefully the chicken to your waffle or the waffle to your chicken gets in too.
This was created around the time my mother had her second stroke. So, a lot of the additional inspiration came from family and bonds. Comfort and familiarity...if I had to condense all of this into a few words, LOVE,COMFORT,PARTNERSHIP,LONGING and HOME...that last one is the best...home.
The bigger purpose of this design is about bringing worlds together to make something greater.My life was always segmented and partitioned,living in different dimensions,traveling between circles..that disconnect translated and carried into the brand.It feels like it's time to finally bring those worlds together for both myself and the fans,so that we can get better.Together.
