We’ve interviewed the designers behind the graphic art we so proudly display on our T-shirts, but what about the awesome people who get to model those T-shirts for the Design By Humans website? Meet Frankie and Dallas, two of our models who have modeled some of our most popular T-shirts. On Wednesday the pair rocked the Shirt of the Day‘Wild Beauty’ together, and today you will get to know a bit about our friends behind the camera themselves with a peek into the lives of these Design By Humans models!

Q: Are you going to school? What are you studying?
I am in school for nutrition and food science.
Q: How did you hear about the modeling opportunity at Design By Humans?
I received a modelling offer on my Model Mayhem site, which I only made because my friends told me to lol
Q: What do you like/dislike (if anything) about modeling?
I like modeling because it’s fun to see an emotion captured in a moment, or to show that all your hard work at the gym paid off lol. All that I dislike is that there are people who think they can't do it when really there are modeling jobs for all shapes and sizes, it’s just a question of how badly you want it.
Q: How does it feel to have your face all over the internet?
I think it's cool to be on the Internet lol I’m not going to lie, Zoolander was one of my favorite movies growing up.
Q: Can you recall any funny/embarrassing moments from a photo shoot?
One of the funniest things I did in a photo shoot was kiss a girl. The funny part was it was in front of my grandma who had never seen me kiss a girl before. The photo shoot was out in Paskenta where my family's ranch is.
Q: What is your favorite Design By Humans T-shirt that you've modeled?
My favorite shirt is the one I modeled called Pixel Heroes. I love comic books lol so when I saw that I was like no way this is meant to be!
Q: Do you own any DBH Tees? Which one(s)?
Yes I own some DBH shirts, many superhero ones lol
Q: Can you tell us a random/interesting fact about yourself?
Random facts about myself? Um I love the gym, comic books, video games, cows and horses, and I really want a French bulldog lol. Oh and my favorite super hero is Captain America because of his morals and values; the will to never give up is something I strive for :)
