As I wrote in my last post, I had the good fortune to design a bandana for the legendary punk band X.
I delivered them in time for the four live shows they had booked in southern California in early May, three of which were with Los Lobos and The Blasters. (What a lineup.) The bandanas were a hit, and sold out by the end of the last show.
Here are some friends & X fans wearing their X bandanas:

Since the bandana I designed for John Doe has been so popular, it made perfect sense that X needed a bandana.

I pitched the idea to their manager & he loved it, so I set out to make a bandana design worthy of such an iconic band. I used motifs from their xeroxed songbooks that they've sold at concerts in the past. I've also always wanted a piece of merch with all their names on it, since they have the coolest names.

Their manager asked for two colorways. I sourced a local printer & cotton bandanas made in the USA. The results are super soft.
I am very tempted to make a zine of the different ways to wear this bandana. My friend Annie was playing around with it and came up with these styles.
I accidentally got the skull to show in the knot the other day, and if you wear it bandito style around your neck you can sport the logo front & center.
If you're headed to any of X's shows with Los Lobos & The Blasters this week, get to the merch booth because I'm expecting these to sell out!
