About Paper 8
PAPER 8 is dedicated to bringing you one of a kind art work and apparel from artist Matthew Warren. Born on the Island of Guernsey off the coast of France, Warren studied undergraduate Fine Art at The University of the West of England in Bristol before undertaking his Masters at OTIS College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA, where he currently resides.
How it all began
In 2016 Warren originated his own contemporary clothing line, PAPER 8, which features his pencil drawn designs, on crisp white T Shirts and Sweatshirts. The PAPER 8 shop is located at 416 W 8th St in DTLA, and he has recently opened a second location at 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 114.
Influenced by, and referencing cinema and American popular culture, his art practices explores and illuminates the manner in which Hollywood myths are entwined with our imagination, and through his use of Hollywood iconography he creates a hybrid of art and cinema which is not only visible through his illustrations and apparel designs, but the store itself.
Acting as an art installation, VHS players and dismantled TVs are utilized as shelving, and featuring a wall stacked with VHS cases which double as packaging for his shirts, the store captures and gives an insight into Warrens unique take on Hollywood. Regular opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12 - 6, and Sunday, 12 - 5. During these hours Warren can be found drawing new designs while a VHS of a movie already in his collection plays on a old TV, through the window to the public, as a record player plays nothing but movie soundtracks.
Let customers speak for us
from 50 reviewsObsessed with this sweatshirt. The artwork is really good and the quality of printing is excellent. I really like that the printing is done on a Champion sweatshirt rather than a low quality fabric. Nice and thick and very comfortable. Thank you for another awesome piece.
I love this. The artwork is so good and a really unique shirt for this show. I am a huge fan. The quality is also fantastic. Definitely worth it. I would say the shirt does run a touch large so keep that in mind.
Love all of the unique art! Perfect gift for the movie loving person! So glad I stumbled upon this brand, will be back for more! LOVE!
Super high quality print and fabric. I feel like whenever you buy stuff from a screen print shop you always get either low quality print or low quality fabric but this was the opposite. The art is really fun and unique. I ordered more products after I got this because I was impressed.I also reached out to the owner for a print that wasn’t listed and within a couple hours they had it available for purchase. I’m a fan.
For fans of John Waters and midnight movies, a high-quality print of this subject serves as a sophisticated tribute to the "Filthiest Person Alive." It’s a bold statement piece that pairs raw, transgressive history with the delicate elegance of watercolor.
I love my new favorite tote!
This was a gift for my husband, he really likes unique shirts. He loves it. Both shirts came in a popcorn box. Super cute!!
I love the Paper 8 products they are so clever and unique. Thank you so much for creating such great gifts. It has been awhile, but I remeber when your illustrations were shown at the Venice Art Crawl! Congratulations on your continued sucess.
Love my new hat and it makes me feel Divine. Wonderful and handsome artist behind the creative too.
I love this shirt, my family loves this shirt, my friends love this shirt. I gifted everyone I know (more or less) a shirt or sweatshirt from here. EVERYONE LOVED THEM! Got laughs, elicited jealousy, frankly looked amazing. Fantastic stuff Paper 8! 🙏
Entire order was smooth and print was excellent!
For fans of Call Me By Your Name, this art print is beautiful. Quality product and very quick delivery.
