Skyrocketing to success in the span of just a few days, without any formal advertising efforts and by only sharing their work with a close-knit group of friends, their profanity-heavy work went viral, engaging with millions of online users. Without hesitation, and possibly with a dash of recklessness, the partners embarked on a series of unforeseen challenges that tested their mental fortitude and financial stability. Despite their errors in judgment and the steep odds they faced, a thriving brand emerged from the chaos.
Today, armed with fresh, profoundly meaningful content, GFDA has matured into a comprehensive creative powerhouse, standing more resolute than ever as that unwavering voice of confidence in your mind that refuses to be silenced.
All GFDA prints are limited edition, signed, numbered, and stunningly screen-printed on French paper, in-house. They are aesthetically pleasing and conveniently sized at 18’ x 24" (45.72 x 60.96 cm), making them perfect inspirational prompts to put in your office or home.
GFDA's debut creation, the Classic Advice Print, a fearless, irreverent, and undeniably authentic compilation of motivational creative principles, became an overnight sensation. It found a proud home in the offices of creative luminaries such as Vera Wang, Louise Wilson, and former Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive.
