We were working on the Abkco site when we came across this amazing picture of Phil Spector flipping the bird back in the 70’s. He had this crazy belt buckle and coke spoon lapel pin, it’s was freakin’ awesome. So anyway, we sent an email to Brad Elterman who is a famous old school papparazzi who took the shot, and told him we completely sweat his work. So he checked us out and what do you know, he liked our work too. So we decided to barter for that photo of Phil, Brad was starting an clothing line and wanted us to design the graphics. So we did, and we like to think we did a damn good job. And the best part is… that great photo of Phil is now ours!
