art history

 
Big Dad­dy Roth

(no re­la­tion ex­cept for my love)

came up with Rat Fink

on a napkin

at a greasy spoon

in Ana­heim …
 

 
… out of his hatred

for Mick­ey Mouse

and the grand opening

of Dis­ney­land next door.
 

Big Dad­dy Roth

re­belled against

the Mick­ey Mouse-ness

of every­thing.

 

 

 
His cus­tom cars and artis­tic vi­sion in­flu­enced more than you know, and it’s all around you – the car and mo­tor­cy­cle in­dus­try, hot rod cul­ture and aes­thet­ic, mu­sic, an­i­ma­tion, film, comics art, fur­ni­ture de­sign … NASA, The Simp­sons, Star Wars, heavy met­al, Ap­ple … the list goes on.

 

 

Rebels fuel culture.

 

 
And Big Dad­dy Roth

was in­flu­enced

by Von Dutch

who first took

pin­strip­ing to cars …

 

 

 

… long be­fore the fash­ion brand that bears his name.

 

 

Art his­to­ry.

Hot.
