Direct from LA for one night only, T-world proudly presents Hit + Run to exclusively be part of the Asahi Silver + Black exhibition at aMBUSH Gallery.

Be fashionably early for your chance to see Hit + Run produce one of 300 seriously limited edition T-shirts by some of the finest artists in the world.

Hit + Run was created in 2005 by Southern California artists Brandy Flower and Mike Crivelo. A product of their contagious enthusiasm they has seen from small silkscreen parties in their homes, Hit + Run’s live T-shirt screenprinting events quickly grew, now hosted at festivals, premiers, workshops, clubs and a variety of happenings across the world, which now includes Sydney.

Tee prints exclusively created by artists SHE ONE, KOFIE, RYO ONO, CRYPTIC, TOSHIKAZU and Hit + Run Crew.
