The Paul Frank Fall 2008 line is as broad and varied as ever. The range features the Julius the Monkey logo along with his friends printed on to many of the Paul Frank clothing and accessories. Paul Frank have made some great new heavy metal inspired t-shirt prints like the Metal God t-shirt, Smashing Pete short sleeve tee and the Misfits inspired Julius and Friends Skull Decay hoody featuring Julius as the Misfits skull faced logo. Another Paul Frank brand is Small Paul, a range of clothing, accessories and toys for small children.
