For the first time Carhartt and Montana Colors team up to bring you the ultimate spraycan in legendary Carhartt Brown.

Paris´ KoolFunc´88, member of the Ultra Boyz crew and contributor to the current Carhartt collection, created the design for this project. The result is “Cosmic Dust Brown” in a true Futuristic Func Style, printed directly on the can, and packaged and stamped in an individual box.

To this date Montana has produced 15 limited models for their “Hall of Fame” and next to join is Carhartt with the Carhartt x Montana Colors spraycan.

While the art and design worlds are trying to reconcile their differences and work together, Cary Lietzes of ARTCO is working to bring artists and major corporations closer, by creating branding that is visually stimulating and unique. Design has a long history of struggle with the mass market but Lietzes has pioneered a fresh approach to the subject and carved out an intricate niche for herself and the artists and brands with which she works.
Using her knowledge of fashion, marketing and publishing, Lietzes recognized the need for new blood in the marketing world and identified current artists whose forward thinking and creativity suited these needs. Hence, ARTCO’s current project with Pepsi is not surprising, but is refreshing.
ARTCO has assembled 10 artists to design the Pepsi cans for the company’s 4 biggest markets. The 10 different designs will be sold worldwide, with the new designs rolling out in select countries before expanding to more locations throughout the year.
Participating artists included DZINE, Jon Burgerman and many others. Via Vista Art & Design.

Both XLarge and X-Girl have gotten together with Coca Cola Japan for the promotion of the new Sprite Campaign over there. There is a special Sprite Zero x XLarge can coming out as well as t-shirts by both XLarge and X-Girl.
It is incredible to see at what a high level and mass market level these brands have impact in Japan compared to other markets in the world. I still do not see this happening in Europe, but you never know.
