AND FEELINGS

And Feelings is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based artist Chad Eaton. He created And Feelings to revisit memories from his life in a new visual way. Most of the graphics simplify metaphors based on moments that have stuck in his mind and mementos he has collected. Although And Feelings is rooted in skateboarding and art culture, the brand wants to celebrate the creative spirits that are in all kinds of subcultures, not just one. Culture and experience before products.
