Posted here are some sample images, check out more via Ryan's Flickr. As well, this is a little something more to help you understand the concept of these customs more:

RYAN: "I can start by explaining why my we_rd art on vinyl toys is a part of a larger process. In 2002 I created the concept of WE_RD F_CK_R, where I screen print illegible typography on the logos and calculated graphics of ones clothing usually while being worn as a form of live fashion vandalism in public venues and events. I adapted 2 low end forms of typographic communications (screen print and sign shops) to produce an art practice of organic typographic abstraction on whatever canvas or object I prefer. Similar to my drawings, the longer you look at these weird little things the more interesting they begin to look."
