"Life is so short you can't even waste a day subscribing to what someone else thinks you can do versus knowing what you can do." — Virgil Abloh

Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) to everyone who stopped by the Rad Shyt Labs booth at DesignerCon and spent time nerding out with us in our little universe of research, art, design, and experimentation.

The kindness, curiosity, and genuine support we've received from this community continue to inspire us. We had the chance to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, share the things we create, and support fellow artists and makers as fans ourselves.

DesignerCon is a special place where creativity, culture, and community collide. We're grateful to be a part of it and thankful for every conversation, every purchase, every laugh, and every moment shared.

To the entire @designercon community—thank you for seeing the vision and supporting independent creative work. We appreciate you more than words can express.

With gratitude,

Team Dyno / Rad Shyt Labs

RAD SHYT LABS × DESIGNERCON EXCLUSIVE

Some graphics don't just live on a t-shirt: they become part of culture.

For our DesignerCon exclusive release, we looked back at one of Hawaii's most iconic graphic legacies: Master Graphics Hawaii. During the 1980s and 1990s, the brand became legendary for its unapologetic attitude, humorous aggression, and unforgettable characters. Their infamous Hawaiian Pit Bulls, battle-ready gorillas, and surf-inspired graphics captured a uniquely local energy that resonated far beyond the islands.

This piece is our homage to that era.

Rather than recreate the past, we chose to reinterpret it through the lens of Rad Shyt Labs: we are a studio built at the intersection of art, design, comics, toys, and streetwear.

In place of the legendary pit bulls, we've infused our own canine cast from the Rad Shyt universe, transforming a familiar visual language into something distinctly ours. Inspired by the dynamic storytelling and detailed linework of comic legends Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane, the artwork collides with the visual sensibilities of Hawaiian graphic culture and the illustration energy of Mel Isara.

The result is a cross-cultural mashup that feels equally at home in a long box of comics, a vintage surf shop, an art book, or on the convention floor.

At Rad Shyt Labs, we're fascinated by creative collisions. Hawaiian surf graphics meet comic book mythology. Streetwear meets collector culture. Nostalgia meets reinterpretation.

Printed on premium ROOPA milled tees, this DesignerCon-exclusive release is available by preorder only.

No restocks. No reprints. Just a moment in time.

This isn't a reproduction. It's a conversation between generations of graphic culture.

A love letter to Master Graphics Hawaii, comic book legends, and the art of making something loud enough to last.

“Work in progress” (WIP) refers to a project still in development. This one is Grand Wizard Botto Saka’s 25-Cent Balls of Wonder, an experiment highlighting handstyles of @sinful________ Handstyles are a core element of typography, demonstrating mastery of letter structure, flow, and form. This piece pays homage to the Style Wars ( 1983 ‧ Documentary) and to the East Village: corner of 7th & 1st, where Dynamic Dynosaur first came to life. A love letter to the subcultures we cherish — this is what RAD is about.

Havent posted in a while: but had something pretty sick we have been working on with the team: @radshyt 

Fortunate enough we have "RAD" with all of you! & if we want to make a digital magazine that features invisible man or i mean invisible woman. They are out there! Doing Rad Shyt for themselves under the radar, the underground. RAD is: a platform to share. That was its intent since day one.. its been a liitle slower than we would want, but its 100% controlled by us not dictated on margins, profits and shareholders. RAD is for everyone, we just want people to make their own shyt.  Our digital magazine platform is called VIN. (very important nobody.) People will never spot these individuals as someone they should want to be like because to the naked eye they are invisible. Everyday the "invisibles" wake up and are doing their own craft, fine tuning it, obsessed with it, they would do it for free because they love it this much. The point is they found a way to "sustain" and found a reason to "exist", and they do their thing: every frecken day. We want to be surrounded by people like that. That joy, that passion: it's infectious. Sharing that shyt I hope we all get infected to go do something Rad. We need more of that in the world nowdays. by @dynamicdynosaur

Secret Wars dynosaur, Trading card included with pre-order.  Card collecting is also driven by nostalgia and sentimentality. Many collectors started collecting cards as children, and the hobby was a way to connect with their past. The cards they collect may represent a specific time in their lives or bring back childhood memories. Collectors often have emotional attachments to the cards in their collections and may be reluctant to part with them. Secret Wars is just that. Homage to inspiration that became the Catalyst of my design career. 100 of them only, hand cut, hand assembled. Collect them all!  #radshyt #dynamicdynosaur by @dynamicdynosaur

Black Cat dynosaur, Trading card included with pre-order.  These egg cards are put together one by one manually in our studio, Ea. Design there only 100 of each individually cut cards. The pursuit of a specific card can be a lengthy and challenging process, and collectors who are successful in acquiring the card often feel a great sense of accomplishment. This sense of action can motivate collectors, driving them to continue searching for and developing new cards. What are the value of these cards, they are hand cut, hand assembled, and in time their purpose will be told. Collect them all!  #radshyt #dynamicdynosaur by @dynamicdynosaur
