Loading ...Who am I?
My name is Bryan 'be.' Espiritu. I'm a realist, an artist, a writer, a father, a lover and most notably the designer of many things including my clothing line, IdeallClothing.
This site is a nod to everything that makes me tick, talk, and at times turns me turbulent. I may say some things you'll disagree with. I may do some things that you dislike. I may disappear unannounced for long stretches of time without leaving you a note. But when I'm around you can count on one thing - I wear my heart on my sleeve and my arm in a sling.
Welcome To TheLegendsLeague. You've been in it since the day you were born.

Fully Wholly: VATO – Clipse (VA) x DJ Wristpect (TO)
Design by Bryan Espiritu.
Yesterday, I worked on the cover for Bridging the Gap Vol. 4, a mixtape series by my homey and official IdeallClothing sponsored, DJ Wristpect. The cover concepts I came up with were all very strong, but I went with my gut and did a Fully Wholly character for it since I’ve been the most excited about my Fully Wholly projects above all things I’ve been doing lately.
This isn’t the cover, but I wanted to share the Wholly with you guys. His name is “VATO”. lol.
I’m claiming the “T.O.” handsign. We ain’t never had one until now. Go ahead and use that shit in all your “T.O. Don’t Love U” pics.
Mixtape artwork is gonna be released soon. Stay tuned for that and the limited run of VAxTO FullyWholly Tees..
What’s a Wholly?
A “Wholly” is a stylized character who is composed of a base or shell that generally has 4 holes in it. Those 4 holes provide me with endless possibilities to solving graphic problems. I use the base or shell as a canvas to create the character, and the holes to act as ports to extensions of the character.

Dear Cable company,
Mucho gracias for not turning off the line today, cause I had the opportunity to see Bryan E’s latest stroke of genius work. On a side note, you may want to check this guy out. Your logo could use some be.
Sincerely,
That college kid who still isn’t paying the bill this month.
Nah but seriously, really phenomenal stuff.

I’d be in awe but you impress so consistently now that shock and awe just doesn’t happen anymore. I miss that feeling but a stronger, richer feeling has replaced it – one of constant admiration for your skills. You’re prime time big guy! Great work on this (the hand sign is a stroke of genius as well!)

I will be throwin the T.O sign tonight like it’s the roc @ the homecoming jam. People always ask me what is “LL” when I rock your tee’s, I told them its the future lol

The T.O. handsign is crack, and fuckin’ official now.
jc | November 21.09 at 3:50 am
I’m feelin this… but, it looks like these heads are too. And, I’d have to agree, bry… your cover is way iLLer than album cover. I’m coppin a hard copy the first chance I get.
Just stumbled on this while looking for some new tracks to bump… PEEP.

one of my fav pieces you have done.
glad to see a version from before and what the finished is.
love the final product man. *salutes*
T.O. hand sign may be the best branding since Nike. Suits the screw perfectly.
