CMONGOOD: Why Soupy Jones? how did u come up with that name?
Sean: Soupy Jones is loosely based off a fable about a man fishing to feed his family,and he winds up not catching anything but a small fish with an odd smirk on its face. He takes the fish home thinking its to small to feed his family he just puts it up as a trophy for his long day fishing. The man names it Jones after his family . Later that evening he wakes up to find his family eating the fish with soupy….SOUPY JONES…lol . Also where I’m from we always switch up slang i remember back in the day ol heads would say man you souped up or you got a souped up car basically meaning it was fresh or dope. Then at that time if u were living lavish you were trying to “keep up with the Jones” so it fit perfect in my eyes Soupy Jones. we’re fresh and people always try to keep up with us.
CMONGOOD: How did you get involved in t-shirt designing?
Sean: I’ve always been an artist as far as drawing, painting ,designing things. In college to make some extra money i used draw peoples names in graffiti. From that i started to paint peoples names on shirts from that i went onto put my on designs on shirts. doing abstract art on shirts i named the company abstract collection. From the small but noticeable success I got doing abstract collection i began to think about what was next. Soupy Jones was born
CMONGOOD: How did you market your tshirts to make them so popular?
Sean: Well we held a few people hostage at gun point,you might have saw that on the news. then we started terrorizing neighborhoods and beating up people who didn’t have on our shirts…lol no but honestly the product speaks for itself,people love new different dope things and Soupy Jones is that in clothing form.
