After a nearly 2 year hiatus it is with great pleasure that I re-introduce my t-shirt brand, Crownfarmer! From now until forever it will be holding hands with Club Mumble to bring you a t-shirt designed by a member in good standing along with a quick interview with them.

Week 2 is a design by original Mumbler, long time member of the Girl Skateboards Art Dump turned DC Shoes director of advertising, Tony Larson! Click HERE to grab one of his tees or continue reading to learn a little more about Tony and what he does…
