David Gonzales is an artist from Richmond, California who grew up in his local lowrider and Chicano arts scene. Starting with his own t-shirts and comic strips, he created the Homies characters that became a worldwide phenomenon. After selling millions of toys, David had to start from square one after the vending machine industry collapses. He's continued to push his own art and even started putting out new lines of Homies toys and merchandise that continue to this day - check David out at https://www.dgatees.com/--History of the Bay x Mojo Labs snapbacks on sale 3/15, sign up to the VIP list for early access: https://mojo-labs.comJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dregsoneSubscribe to our clips channel: https://youtube.com/@UCYR1ormrdd-9gFSUoZgv3wA --For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: [email protected] of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone415
