In 2011, Charlie Hudson took a piece of balsa wood, and started painting. He strung a chain through it, put it around his neck, and Charlie Like the River was born. The Burlington Vermont brand has since grown in popularity, and so has Charlie as an artist.
All the necklaces are hand painted by Charlie, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. It's not just people in Burlington who are rocking these bad boys. There's a wide range of musicians who are sporting these works of art, from Mac Miller to Trevor Hall, and they're becoming something big.
Charlie has started to commission work from musicians to do their art, everything from fan pieces to album artwork. Cam Meekins, whose album hit #3 on the iTunes top charts, had Hudson create the artwork for his album "Lamp City."
He's surrounded by a team of artists, photographers, and directors who are all breaking through into popular culture. Check out his promotional video right below to get a feel what they're working with.
Keep an eye out for Charlie Like the River, because they're definitely more than okay. You can buy the pieces from his website here.
With Style,
Your MyDROBE Team
