№ 001 · How it's made
One animal.
One pocket.
One long look.
STEP 01
Watched
Hours in the blind, at the river, in the zoo if we have to. We don't paint animals we've only seen in photographs.
STEP 02
Painted
Great care is taken to capture the essence: the plumage, the coat, the feather, the scale. Not a photograph of the animal. The feeling of it.
STEP 03
Printed
Printed in small batches on heavyweight cotton, pocket-only. Every tee ships with a field tag: kingdom, phylum, class, the story of the species you're wearing.
Every animal we wear is one we've watched. A long, slow look that became a brush, that became a pocket, that became the thing you carry out the door.
