Hardy wrote a couple books regarding flash art and tattooing that became extremely famous and renouned. After a while Ed Hardy was approached to put his name and flash art on clothing. He has sold the clothing line, Christian Audugar (the designer of the Von Dutch clothing line) is now the owner of Ed Hardy Designs. Ed Hardy pretty much is just an artist and tattoo teacher, he no longer does tattoos.
In a nut shell the clothing and "tattoo art" designs have become very famous and played out in the last few years. Basicly Ed Hardy is comfort designer clothing at $50-150 per tshirt.
