Chris Labrooy’s Fantasy Vehicles in “Tales of Auto Elasticity”

UK graphic designer and artist Chris Labrooy riffs on custom car culture in his latest digital illustration series, “Tales of Auto Elasticity.” A follow-up to last year’s “Auto Aerobics,” in which Labrooy placed his bendy, sculptural low riders in a city park, “Tales of Auto Elasticity” shows pick-up trucks with yogic flexibility bending to extreme degrees in a rural parking lot. via Hi-Fructose

Creating Herotime

In the search of inspiration for a name for this new concept of a brand centered around Lora's artistic vision, we studied her vast archives of work.

Among countless other subjects and ideas, we found a frequent theme of superheroes portrayed as much more human than we are used to. Lora's superheroes were often depressed, distraught, unsure of themselves, and performing mundane everyday tasks instead of saving the world. On the other hand, the everyday characters in Lora's works were often the most brave, acting as you would expect superheroes would. Protecting innocence, facing fear, and overcoming adversity.

It was on the concept of these everyday heroes that the name and core principles of HEROTIME were born.

The Art of Herotime

Lora created an initial series of work building on the "Tom" panda character she created for the logo.

She also experimented for the first time with creating art designed specifically for apparel.
