Few graphic series succeed in producing continued quality and thoughtful design. One that does is the Burton Artist series. The current theme “Design of Dissent” gives each artist a strong working platform, and beyond those that are chosen are done so with a watchful eye. The result is drops that don’t skirt individuality in a quest for conformity — a requirement in a positive string of connected product.

The latest artist to work Burton’s t-shirt canvas is John Yates. He’s worked as artistic director of Alternative Tenticles, and with his own Stealworks actively designs for alternative press. For Burton, he’s done 4 tees. Each hits the nail on the head in terms of the umbrella theme. Visit your nearest Burton flagship store to grab one (or all).
