DECENTRALIZED ART
DESIGN - BY - POTHEADSbegan in 2020 as an artist collective on the Idaho/Oregon border. What started as just an idea blossomed into a small in-house clothing brand featuring local artists, friends, & creatives alike. This was viable for the time, but never the end goal. In 2024 dbp shut down its clothing webstore to refocus on simply promoting + interviewing artists online from both local & worldwide perspectives.
As internet & supply chain globalization continued to scale, it became apparent that producing merchandise locally was not the best way to ensure great return on investment for an artist's work/time/designs. This begged the question:
Is an artwork's value determined by what the art is printed on? Material cost? Quality? Time? One question was certain for dbp: How do we bring the most value to the arts & creators?
A New Frontier
In an era full of content-slop & instant AI image generation artists are faced with a new frontier. It's time for us to reclaim art's value. Not letting its value be determined by likes, views, or algorithms. But by letting creators independently decide what their art is worth.
