Forever Young by Bob Dylan, is a song that has always had a strong impact on me. Inspired by the lyrics of the song, I created the painting below. I then began to think how I could transfer the same concepts of color, text, and shape that are in my painting into a clothing line.

I wanted to create a clothing collection that could be worn by people of all ages and genders. The phrase “Forever Young” paired with the red and yellow boxes remind adults of nights watching Wheel of Fortune, or trying to finish crossword puzzles, and kids could resonate with the trendy design.
