"Ed Hardy" is emblazoned on from t-shirts and hats to perfumes and energy beverages. From LA to Japan, his brilliant cross-and-bones designs and ribbon-banners have become internationally ubiquitous. But long before the fashion world uncovered his iconic designs, the man behind the eponymous brand spearheaded little or nothing less than a cultural trend. In Wear Your Dreams, Ed Hardy recounts his genesis as a tattoo artist and innovator in the motion to identify tattooing as a valid and abundant art form, to the ultimate transformation of his profession into a multibillion buck branding empire. From giving colored pencil tattoos to neighborhood kids at age group ten to working with legendary music artists like Sailor Jerry to learning at your feet of the masters in Japan, the publication explains how this Godfather of Tats fomented the explosion of tattoo art and exactly how his influence can be witnessed on everyone, from countless celebs to ink-adorned rockers to butterfly-branded, stroller-pushing mothers. With over fifty different product categories, the Ed Hardy brand generates over $700 million in retail sales each year. Ideal for printer ink devotees and Ed Hardy aficionados alike, Wear Your Dreams is a never-before-seen look at the tattoo artist who rocked the art world and has remaining a permanent make on fashion background.
