Crafting the Gridiron print was a meticulous seven-month labor of love, undertaken to capture the multi-layered essence of New York City. The print itself is a complex tapestry of four distinct layers, each contributing to the overall depth that mimics the city's dynamic spirit. Typically, my process involves printing the evolving design and placing it on my bulletin board for a visual critique. It's as if the print speaks to me, revealing what elements it needs to shine or what can be stripped away to reveal its true essence. Creating from such an intuitive, spiritual space is a deeply rewarding experience—nothing short of glorious.

The Gridiron print by G'wan is more than just a pattern; it's an ode to the vibrant and multifaceted spirit of New York City. Drawing inspiration from the NYC skyline that serves as a daily muse, the Gridiron print encapsulates the structured yet ever-dynamic essence of the city. The grid pattern mimics the meticulously planned streets—strong, straightforward, and unyielding, represented by hard brush strokes that are heavy in weight.
