About

The name ADO (pronounced Ah-doe) are letters that touch on various words that define the basis for the studio’s conception:

Art…Anthony…
ADO Works is a studio started by artist Anthony Joseph as a means to visually convey expressions and reflections on society, culture and its evolving nature. Through a mix of fine and contemporary art mediums, Anthony creates art that provides a platform for the sharing of human experiences.

Design…Disposition…
Through the merging of stylized art with designer streetwear, ADO Works creates fashionable contemporary art that speaks to both the art collector and the streetwear aficionado.
Using the medium as the message, ADO Works seeks to extend the showcasing of art from canvas to streetwear.

Opus…Operandi…
Following a soft launch of ADO Works by way of a pop-up art and fashion show in 2016, the studio has taken a step back from further launching its brand, so as to further refine the quality, style and process of clothing production. ADO Works takes a moderate approach to its delivery of high-end streetwear by releasing single pieces from each collection throughout the year.
In keeping with the time-honored grassroots aesthetic of streetwear, ADO Works clothing is designed and produced locally in Vancouver, British Columbia.
