<p>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&#39;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</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Starting Homies in the Bay</p><p>05:54 Growing up in Richmond</p><p>19:01 Inspiration for characters</p><p>24:45 Learning to draw</p><p>28:11 Lowrider and biker art</p><p>36:25 Post office art</p><p>40:41 Sports t-shirts</p><p>48:47 Homies t-shirts</p><p>53:27 First toys &amp; gang controversy </p><p>1:00:34 Homies TV show??</p><p>1:04:04 Vending machine toys</p><p>1:12:04 Back to hustling art</p><p>1:16:45 New Homies toys</p><p>1:20:23 Learning the business</p><p>1:23:40 Art &amp; community</p><p>1:28:27 Current projects</p>
