They say that you don't die if you never forget and Kurt Cobain still alive among us.

Vinyls, playlists, books, photographs, garments, tributes and more, immortalize the leader and main composer of the band Nirvana who passed to another dimension in 1994.

His enormous sense of art is undeniable and much of his legacy was recorded in the grunge band's discography.

But his talent went even beyond being a great composer and performer.

Kurt also externalized his thinking and feeling by drawing. In 2017, the American edition of Rolling Stone brought to light some of the works that the artist did.

Erasers for comic, the original of the cover of Insecticide Nirvana and other published traces revealed a darker side of Cobain.

Aware of the talent and the mark that his father left, Frances Bean Cobain, the singer's only daughter, captured Kurt's art in t-shirts, hoodies, bags, hats, among others, making up the collection Kurt was here.

The designs were taken directly from Cobain's original illustrations and were not edited or resized on the garments.

Various clothing brands around the world have used Cobain's image, but Kurt Was Here is the only collection with designs made by the artist.

Part of the sales of these products are donated to the Jed Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of suicide among adolescents and young adults.

His earthly life lasted only 27 years, but his legacy will remain for posterity.

Did you know that?

The legendary cardigan that Kurt Cobain wore on the 1993 recordings of the Unplugge album was auctioned for $ 75.
