Mourning Woods is now available at Commonthreadz for their Environment and Wildlife line. I was surprised with the quality of shirts they print their designs on after receiving the first few samples of my Shelter tees from them. Designs are printed on eco-friendly Alternative Apparel with "no shrinkage" fit.
"For each t-shirt you buy, Commonthreadz gives a school uniform to an orphan or vulnerable child so they can go to school in Africa. For $38 you are able to help change the life of a child in need while receiving a limited-edition, high quality t-shirt in return. Customer's names are painted on a "thank you" school wall in Africa every quarter".
AVAILABLE in SIZES: MEN's, WOMEN's, KID's

The good guys at Threadless have reprinted Aesthetic Truculency and it's back in stock on all sizes. Huge thanks to everyone who have requested for a reprint. This is one of the first few designs I did that I hold close to my heart. It was a rework of an old design that had some sloppy colors on. Pick one up if you have missed the first batch.
AVAILABLE HERE.

I was invited to design a poster for Manila Design Week's Public Art Project with the classic theme "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" launched at the Bonifacio High Street earlier today at the MDW opening.
I decide to have fun with the project and came up with
a type treatment that plays on the word ORGAN-IC
The banners will be exhibited all over street lamps
at the Bonifacio Area for a week and will later be recycled into bags and wallets to raise funds forcharity. Some participants for the project include Team Manila, Paul Imbong, Christian San Jose, etc.

Louie Banks sent in promotional photos he shot of Perennials and Innards and Deer Without a Heart t-shirts.
I adore this 17-year old's aesthetic and style. More photos of other prints to be shot by him in the future. Check out his amazing sets in his flickr stream here.

A recent collaboration with DICK FIRESTORM about a larger-than-life Mother Nature hovering over trees and getting sick of samurai warriors pillaging on the villagers for decades thus summoning an army of tigers to claim vengeance who acquire their invincible strengths through Mother Nature's titties. Craaaazy idea only from the DICK FIRESTORM himself.
