Artwork for Humans

Dallas-based muralist Jerod DTOX Davies launches his new showroom, Artwork for Humans, located in the heart of Deep Ellum in Downtown Dallas at 3001 Canton St. 

Each item is hand-painted with an uplifting quote, encouraging not only the wearer but also everyone who sees them. Recent photos of Erykah Badu wearing a custom Artwork For Humans sweatshirt backstage at her annual birthday concert were seen on social media. The sweatshirt featured an original drawing by Jerod on the front showing two faces overlapping sharing a single smile and the back read “Eye Am You. You Are Me.”

Davies said, "In a world full of disposable fashion, I can give these quality pieces a new and extended life by creatively upcycling them. Upcycled clothing with inspirational quotes written on the front and back is a powerful thing to witness in public. The wearer inspires people as they simply walk by. Catalysts that elevate us to be our best selves are so important right now."

The grand opening of the Artwork For Humans showroom will feature the latest collection of hand-painted jackets and other upcycled clothing items. The event will provide an opportunity for the public and media to meet with Davies and learn more about his vision for the upcycled collection, as well as the cultural, community, and environmental impact of his work.
