"Keep Ya Head Up" by Over Under Textiles

Made from vintage canvas with just the right amount of attitude, this one-of-a-kind piece doesn’t try to behave—and that’s exactly why it works. The worn fabric is full of life: heavy wrinkles, raw edges, and a row of original grommets up top that hint at its past life.

Front and center, bold hand-applied lettering spells it out: KEEP YA HEAD UP. Equal parts pep talk and cool-kid mantra, it says what you need it to—without overthinking it.

About the artist

Austin-based artist Laurie Sobocinski has always loved fabrics and thrifting, and she brings that passion into her work by using as many upcycled textiles as possible. From wool suits to denim and corduroy jeans, she is always searching for new materials to repurpose. The canvas for her current pieces once served as US mailbags — carriers of countless letters in their past life. Today, they carry bold word art that expresses fun and meaningful phrases.
