Knowing Dario, he is one of the realest, kindest people you will ever meet.
He is Straight Edge and one of the few people left in the world whos word means something.

He is a true Low Life.

The second set of these photos are taken again by Low Life
photographer Manuel Abella on the countryside in the outskirts of Bern, near to where Manuel lives. The calm serenity of the countryside captured in the photos and the extreme of the tattoos shows you that at the end of the day, we are all human…however we are not all the same.

DARIO

At some point every man has the notion to cross the line and go
against the grain. That feeling, that moment in their life, where
they take that step towards being something the rest of the world
tells them not to be is the first real moment of their life and the
beginning of the rest of it. 99.9% of society wakes up, goes to work,
spends money, and goes to sleep. It is very rare someone steps
outside the box and lives their own life, regardless to what the
‘norm’ thinks of them; especially in a place like Switzerland.

Dario is one of those guys; one of those real men out their
living their lives and going against the ‘rules’ placed in front of
him. Dario has nearly his entire body tattooed and, .in a place like
Switzerland, he is practically a walking freak show. . The photos are
one part of a 2 part photo session taken by Low Life photographer and
friend Manuel Abella in his studio. Part two coming very soon…

Low Life Clothes and USA’s graffiti magazine CLOUT have teamed up to present the “City of Broken Dreams” t-shirt in both black and white. Printed in black, white, gray and graphite the detailed illustration depicts a layup in the backround with an elevated subway train snaking its way through a smoke filled city by way of tunnels nestled amongst contrasting facades. Passing by multi-windowed buildings, streetlamps and destroyed police cars, the subway train emerges in the forefront. Our first overseas collaboration, the “City of Broken Dreams” t-shirt is available in adult sizes S – 2X only on CLOUT’s online shop!

Based out of San Jose, California, CLOUT is the leading graffiti lifestyle magazine in the United States featuring street influenced art, fashion and music and the creative individuals behind those putting in work.

Limited Edition Poster

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 13:54:12 +0000

The Low Life Team joins forces to bring you this limited-edition poster, for hard-core collectors only.
Read on to see well thought out explanation of the process of the production of the poster by a silk screening professional coupled with amazing photos by photographer Manuel Abella introducing you to the technique of serigraphy.

I was 12 years old when I first wanted to design and wear my own shirts.
I soon began to invent some personal techniques and started putting my drawings on t-shirts. A couple years later I heard about the technique of silkscreen, however, nobody could help me do it or even take the time to explain it clearly. When I started studying graphic design in my older age I finally began to learn all the possibilities to learn the silk screening process. In the beginning I quickly realized all the possibilities to print on nearly everything, be it shirts, wood, glass, pvc (plastic), metal, paper, carton, sticker; everything!

You can print just about any color and even special colours like gold and silver.
You can even have colours that smell like chocolate or other scents. Nowadays I am more and more interested in the imprecision you can provoke in scrolling the layers on each print. There are a lot of experimental possibilities in silkscreen you can use in an artistic way, which is the most important thing to me and what has draw me to it.
You can do everything you want in silk screening and the only important thing is that it is authentic and ascetically cool.
After all the time I have spent silk screening I would love to learn the technique of woodcarving and etching as well as basic techniques like lino-cut. Different techniques require you to have to draw differently and adapt to the differences between the different techniques.

In the art of printing shirts, silkscreen is the most important technique of all.
Of course there are other techniques but silk screening stands above them all as the best and gives you the highes quality you can receive. It gives you a big coat application provoking a clear graphic language important in making t-shirts. Ultimately you end up with one or more colored surfaces that come together to create an entire image. No other print technique exists that can print such clear and pure colors onto a shirt, hat, window, poster, or anything of the sort which is what gives it its magic. With this particular piece, we first had do find the right colors and the best inks.

You have to find the right colors in considering the hierarchy of the single symbols.
The printing process is always the same, no matter how or what you want to print it on. You have to make sure that every layer fixes on each other and nothing overlaps the previous one. Once you start to print it is very important that you print fast and that the color has the right balance between color and solvent. In the dimension of a poster you have to do everything just right or you will end up problems. I truly feel like the colors are absolutely brilliant and the poster portrays everything anyone silk screening would want to exhibit when when doing a project like this.
