John Earle, aka Johnny Cupcakes, is the creator and owner of Johnny Cupcakes Clothing Brand. He started the brand back in 2001 as sort of a joke. As he toured with his bad, On Broken Wings, he sold t-shirts out of the trunk of his car. He worked part-time at a silk screen printing shop so needless to say, he had a bit of a hookup. He would make funny/interesting shirts poking fun at pop culture, and soon the designs took off as they became more and more popular. The line now consists or shirts, sweaters, jewelry, etc. Eventually he opened his first shop in 2005. The thing, however, that makes his brand so unique is his commitment to his bakery theme. His stores look like a bakery and often people walk into his store thinking they are walking into an actual bakery! The clothes are displayed in pastry cases, and customers are often seen walking out with their clothes in boxes resembling bakery boxes. His stores even SMELL like bakeries! lol I think it's an AMAZING idea! This guy right here is definitely an inspiration because I think some of my clothes resemble the kind of vibe he goes for in his clothing. Oh...and did I mention he's only 26 and, according to his blog, is now officially a millionaire!http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/
