Uniqlo X Jarritos - Apparel Graphics for Uniqlo Miami Store Activation

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jarritos on a series of apparel graphics featured in a new Uniqlo store activation in Miami.

The goal was to bring Jarritos’ core brand identity to life through a Southern Florida lens, using colour to give the graphics a fresh, regional twist. Four of my designs were selected for the activation, and I couldn’t be more excited to see them come to life.

Uniqlo has been a store I’ve frequented for over 10 years, so having my work featured in one of their spaces feels like a true full-circle moment.

A big thank you to Zach and the Jarritos team for the opportunity. I always love being part of projects that bring creative ideas to life in meaningful ways.

Peace Collective Spring 2026 - Seasonal Direction

Fight For Peace. Peace is Worth Fighting For.
This message became the red thread behind our Spring ’26 collection for Peace Collective — a reminder that peace is something intentional, and worth protecting.

We wanted to bring this idea to life through every garment in the collection. From a creative direction standpoint, the process began with a series of pinnacle pieces: the Peace Floral Work Jacket, Peace Striped Rugby, and Peace Baggy Floral Shorts. Through playful all-over prints, bold stripe detailing, custom zipper pulls, and seasonal woven labels, the vision slowly came to life piece by piece.

The collection was then grounded by our pigment-dyed heavyweight fleece sets, eclectic graphic tees featuring further bold statements, and two seasonal Peace caps that completed the story. The colour palette drew inspiration from the boldness of the late ’90s and Y2K era, balanced with neutral tones to create a collection that felt expressive.

More than anything, this collection reflects the passion and care our team brings to everything we create. As a company that values mental health and community; this collection became a reflection of who we are — using clothing as a platform to spread positivity, spark conversation, and remind people that peace is always worth fighting for.

Peace!

RAISED BY WOLVES: S/S ‘25 - GRAPHICS

It’s always a pleasure working with Cal & team on graphic packages for Raised by Wolves. I was lucky to work on some graphics / aops / and logo packages that have been utilized in RBW S/S ‘25. The direction was “The Dark Side of the Moon” so I designed an all over print featuring craters of the moon to emphasis this; which can be see on the Soccer Jerseys. The graphic tees also fed back into this theme. One of my favorite graphics of this season would have to be the “Allevato dai Lupo” graphic referencing Romes Capitoline Wolf. The Capitoline Wolf is a huge inspiration to this brand, so it was nice bringing it in this season to pay homage.

You can see all of my work here.

Please support as RBW is a local Canadian business, and Cal is one of the nicest dudes I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

ROOTS X WICKED COLLABORATION GRAPHICS

Something Wicked has just been released. I was fortunate to have worked on a portion of the graphics for the Roots X Wicked collaboration alongside the talented Roots team. The assortment ranged from adult apparel, kids apparel, accessories, and leather product; all of which featured the graphic package. The Roots & Universal team collectively came together to visually tell the Wicked story while maintaining Roots identity. Our vision was to bring Glinda, Elphaba, and sense of duality to life through color, texture, and detail. I am so proud of what out team delivered. This truly has to be one of my favorite projects that I have worked on to date.

CLOT X ROOTS LNY 2024 (YEAR OF THE WOOD DRAGON)

I had the pleasure to design the graphic package Roots X Clot Lunar New Year capsule for the year of the wood dragon. It was a big learning curve to dive in the rich history of both Clot and the magic of Lunar New Year. I designed the logo packages across apparel, leather, and accessories. Our entire team worked extremely hard to bring this special collaboration to life. You can find this collection here:

Bossanova Store front Illustration

Here’s some recent client work for @bossanovato in Toronto.

Zoom in for all the details.

The goal of this illustration was to capture what bossanova might have looked like as a boutique beer and wine bar in the mid 20th century.  I romanticized the structure with European features, and lots of foliage to really help bring the concept to life. 

This illustration is featured on the bossanova house lager label as well as some tote bags.

Check out @bossanovato to see the work IRL

CAN I KICK IT? - Collective Series of water-colour sneaker paintings

Over the months brutally cold months of January and February I typically get inspired to paint due to the weather being unbearable here in Toronto. If you know me you’d know I have a love for sneakers. I wouldn’t call myself a sneaker-head by any means , but I do love my kicks.

The plan is to frame this series, and show it in a local curated show here in Toronto. If you know of any venues in which you’d find this series fitting please shoot me an email @ dustincoxdesign@gmail.com

These pieces are all for sale & if you’re interested in any please shoot me a message !

Peace & Love,

The war in Ukraine has been really devastating to watch unravel. Right now the one thing I can do to help is paint, and donate. Both of these paintings have been sold.

LESS THAN BOUTIQUE - PASSION PROJECT

If you know me I have had my fair share of creative endeavours over the years. I’ve been pretty quiet on this webpage lately as I’ve been working diligently alongside my friend Mitch to create the brand LessThan Boutique.

Less Than Boutique is an independent apparel brand that was founded in Toronto over a cup of coffee.  Founders Mitch Burton, and Dustin Cox believe that apparel should always have a visual story to tell.  Less Than draws inspiration from photography, music, art, travel, and everyday city life.  Less Than by definition means "lower in consideration, rank, or importance."  Being a creative sometimes coincides with this feeling.  We thrive in staying creative no matter the weather. 

Stay inspired.

Believe in today.

Believe in tomorrow.

You can find us @ www.lessthanboutique.com and on IG @ lessthan_boutique

R.E.M. VINTAGE TOUR POSTER

I was recently commissioned to design a tour poster from a client out of Minnesota. This one is special because this was created for his parents. His parents went to this concert back in 1989. This concert was one of the reason his Mother wanted to marry his Dad. My client searched online to find a replica poster but couldn’t find one. It was exciting bringing this back to life for such a beautiful story.

“DOS PALMAS” Oil Painting

“Dos Palmas”
24” x 16”
Oil on canvas.

You’ve probably seen my abstract paintings I’ve been painting as of lately. But I wanted to take a step back and bring this next painting back my roots as a creative. Originally when I started painting back as a teenager I painted mainly landscapes, and portraits. I was infatuated with painting water, mountains, and clouds. So many hours were spent trying to get it right.

This is a landscape inspired by a photograph I shot on my last visit in Santa Monica, CA. It’s been really hard adapting back to winters and seeing this painting will always bring me back to the warmth, and beauty of California. 🌴

UPCOMING TORONTO ARTSHOWS

I am happy to announce that I will be showcasing my paintings tomorrow January 25th @ 1174 Weston Road in Toronto from 10 am - 5pm. The event is titled “TRANSITitiong” and it’s free to the public. All my work will be for sale at this event **

I will also be showing my printed work on Friday Feb 7th from 7-Midnight @ The Mod Club in Toronto. You can purchase tickets from me @ rawartists.com/dustincoxdesign Your support means the world to me and I can’t wait to see all of you that can make it at either of these events.
