The artist and illustrator
R. Crumb, whose 2009 graphic novelization of the
Book of Genesis is currently on display at the
David Zwirner complex in West Chelsea, is venturing into fashion design. Well, kinda:
SlamxHype reports that Crumb has collaborated with Japanese bag and wallet company
Porter to create a line of wallets emblazoned with his trademark comic book-type "FUCK" (as pictured) for the New York label
Supreme. No word yet on how much they'll cost, but in light of the parties involved the price will probably put a serious dent in your wallet. (
