A Brief History of Outlaws: Portraits of the American Badass is a series of seven digital prints by Salah Mason and Maceo McNeff. These mixed-media digital collages use a combination of photographs and illustrations to depict the evolution of the American anti-hero. Brooklyn’s Mason and McNeff have created a tribute to the folklore of real criminals, not the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold or the handsome tough guys from movies. Mason and McNeff make up Ways&Means, a collaboration responsible for graphics and illustrations for Mass Appeal Magazine, Crank Yankers, Felix da Housecat, Dos Equis, Nike and more. They design and produce luxury streetwear brand Name Value, and will launch a second line of clothing for the Japanese market this year. They will also embark on a multi-city gallery tour in the United States and Japan this year.
