wearable art*
1 of 11, painted reworked-pants (made by basm & his sister)
(note) evry time u wear these ppl will look at u, sometimes with admiration, sometimes with confusion, if u dont like attention, dont buy these.
inspired by the painter's working pants. when a painter paints, they generally wipe it on their clothes. intended to glorify the creation process.
one of the custom painted pants I've made was recently in a Nelly Furtado x Canada soccer x boi1da music video for the World Cup 2026 campaign. u can own one too if u want. I was wearing another pair but I hid in the very back of the video, so u can't rlly see em haha.
Hand painted. Signed on inside.
why I make these.. cuz it’s super childish n free. & wearing em is swaggy as hell.
paint on clothes is generally considered a fk up. It culturally isn’t in high fashion, other than kidsuper. i feel like ppl r usually fine wit quirked up tops. culturally, only paint-related clothing that caught on, was ppl painting on jean jackets. but that was still very poster like, ppl wanted anime characters n rappers.
u only see an artist in their painted pants with multi-coloured splatters and smudges. or a construction painter in pants smudged with paint. it’s generally considered a work thing. it’s meant to look bad, cuz they’re working.
then I started making these things, and the inquisitive reaction from ppl passing me was rly interesting. I found it cool that I can make ppl curious or confused, give them a talking point with their friends, just by walking by them on the street.
my sister just got a sewing machine, and started making clothes. she made her own graduation outfit (she's a biomedical engineer!!!), she made me these fireee jorts with hella pockets. so we'll make these together. she would do it for free, she will freak out when she finds out how much im selling these for.
