Five years ago, artist Brianna Morrell began painting small illustrations onto a white denim jacket as a way to practice her skills and experiment outside the boundaries of a traditional canvas. One addition led to another, and today, her aptly named 375 Project brings together more than 375 individually hand-painted images on a single piece of clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Look closely, and the jacket begins to feel like a visual archive of growing up in the age of the internet. Pop-culture references sit alongside familiar cartoon and video game imagery, recognizable brands, food, memes, internet oddities, and plenty of wonderfully random objects. Some references are instantly recognizable, while others might take a second, or a very particular corner of your memory, to place. Together, they capture an eclectic mix of what has circulated through screens, fandoms, conversations, and social media over the past several years.<\/p>\n<p>Take your time exploring the jacket below and see how many references you can recognize. Which ones immediately brought back a memory, and which illustration would you want to add to the collection yourself? Let us know your favorites in the comments. You can also visit Brianna Morrell\u2019s Instagram and TikTok to watch short videos dedicated to individual paintings, or head to her website to discover more of her paintings and sculptures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-content-source\">More info: <a href=\"https:\/\/citystreamart.weebly.com\/#\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">citystreamart.weebly.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/citystreamart\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/CityStreamArt\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Etsy<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@citystreamart?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" staff-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tiktok.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Meet Brianna Morrell, the artist behind the 375 Project<\/h3>\n<p class=\"attachment-link-container shareable-image-block\" id=\"IMG_4621-2-6a797e1e87528__700\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?image_id=IMG_4621-2-6a797e1e87528__700.jpg\"><a class=\"web-share-button list-item-share new-share-experiment\" data-location=\"single-post-image\" data-title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" data-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?media_id=IMG_4621-2-6a797e1e87528__700\" data-image=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4621-2-6a797e1e87528__700.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><svg class=\"svg-icon icon-share-icon\" role=\"img\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\"><path d=\"M0 15C0 10.8824 5.22292 10.0588 8.79817 10.0588V14.1765L15.7006 8.23061C15.7941 8.15345 15.8695 8.05559 15.9213 7.94441C15.9731 7.83323 16 7.71155 16 7.58824C16 7.46492 15.9731 7.34314 15.9213 7.23196C15.8695 7.12078 15.7941 7.02302 15.7006 6.94586L8.79817 1V5.11765C2.3995 5.11765 0 9.76235 0 15Z\"\/><\/svg><\/i><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4621-2-6a797e1e87528__700.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" alt=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-bottom-meta-links clearfix bp-image-meta\"><span class=\"sources\"><a class=\"open-list-submission-source staff-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/citystreamart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brianna Morrell<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The project also grew alongside the online community following it. Rather than waiting five years to unveil the completed jacket, Morrell documented the process as it happened, filming herself painting individual additions and sharing the videos on social media. Followers, other artists, and even brands eventually began suggesting things for her to add, turning what began as a personal exercise into an artwork shaped partly by the people watching it evolve. In that sense, the finished jacket records much more than hundreds of illustrations; it preserves Morrell\u2019s development as an artist, the culture surrounding her, and the connections made along the way.<\/p>\n<h3>For five years, this jacket served as Brianna\u2019s ever-changing canvas<\/h3>\n<p class=\"attachment-link-container shareable-image-block\" id=\"IMG_3667-2-6a797e2a1a300__700\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?image_id=IMG_3667-2-6a797e2a1a300__700.jpg\"><a class=\"web-share-button list-item-share new-share-experiment\" data-location=\"single-post-image\" data-title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" data-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?media_id=IMG_3667-2-6a797e2a1a300__700\" data-image=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3667-2-6a797e2a1a300__700.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><svg class=\"svg-icon icon-share-icon\" role=\"img\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\"><path d=\"M0 15C0 10.8824 5.22292 10.0588 8.79817 10.0588V14.1765L15.7006 8.23061C15.7941 8.15345 15.8695 8.05559 15.9213 7.94441C15.9731 7.83323 16 7.71155 16 7.58824C16 7.46492 15.9731 7.34314 15.9213 7.23196C15.8695 7.12078 15.7941 7.02302 15.7006 6.94586L8.79817 1V5.11765C2.3995 5.11765 0 9.76235 0 15Z\"\/><\/svg><\/i><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3667-2-6a797e2a1a300__700.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"980\" alt=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-bottom-meta-links clearfix bp-image-meta\"><span class=\"sources\"><a class=\"open-list-submission-source staff-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/citystreamart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brianna Morrell<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The project began while Brianna was still in high school<\/h3>\n<p class=\"attachment-link-container shareable-image-block\" id=\"IMG_4612-2-6a797e24af845__700\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?image_id=IMG_4612-2-6a797e24af845__700.jpg\"><a class=\"web-share-button list-item-share new-share-experiment\" data-location=\"single-post-image\" data-title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" data-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/hand-painted-denim-jacket-375-project-brianna-morrell\/?media_id=IMG_4612-2-6a797e24af845__700\" data-image=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4612-2-6a797e24af845__700.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><svg class=\"svg-icon icon-share-icon\" role=\"img\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\"><path d=\"M0 15C0 10.8824 5.22292 10.0588 8.79817 10.0588V14.1765L15.7006 8.23061C15.7941 8.15345 15.8695 8.05559 15.9213 7.94441C15.9731 7.83323 16 7.71155 16 7.58824C16 7.46492 15.9731 7.34314 15.9213 7.23196C15.8695 7.12078 15.7941 7.02302 15.7006 6.94586L8.79817 1V5.11765C2.3995 5.11765 0 9.76235 0 15Z\"\/><\/svg><\/i><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_4612-2-6a797e24af845__700.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" alt=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" title=\"Artist Spent Five Years Filling One Jacket With The Pop Culture That Shaped Gen-Z\u2019s Childhood\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-bottom-meta-links clearfix bp-image-meta\"><span class=\"sources\"><a class=\"open-list-submission-source staff-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/citystreamart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brianna Morrell<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Outside the 375 Project, Morrell works across painting and sculpture, with much of her acrylic work drawing inspiration from urban environments, architecture, and automotive culture.
