This product draws inspiration from the abstract expressionist artists of 1950s New York and YouTube content creator Kelly Stamps. It celebrates petite Black women with a distinctive, offbeat sense of humor—those who embrace reading, and are often described as quirky and intellectual. Such women have long influenced the artist IKECHI, whose vision is brought to life through these striking graphics. Moreover, the design evokes a nostalgic era in America, before the prevalence of fast food and smartphones, when authentic social connections were cultivated through genuine interaction, and where individuals were less often burdened by the societal pressures of modern life. "163" signifies the street where the artist and family spent many formative years, a place that shaped his early experiences. It also pays homage to the vibrant sounds of the Washington Heights neighborhood, which served as a profound influence on the artist's work.
