after dark

marshmallows, stars, and one very small hat.

ani counts the stars. mal counts to three, then has a snack.

the trail

ani points confidently down a path while mal holds a map upside down with question marks over his head
we are not lost. we are exploring.
okay, to the shop

psst. every drawing we have ever made is on one big page of school paper

we buy the good blanks and press them ourselves, one at a time. 16.5 oz french terry on the hoodies, garment dyed cotton on the tees, the logo on one side and a little adventure on the other. tiny batches, so the sizes are whatever is on the shelf today.

froggy matcha tee, front

click or drag to turn it around. it flutters. that's on purpose.

the cloth

we do not print on whatever is cheapest. every blank is chosen for how it feels in the hand, and then we press it ourselves, one at a time.

and small things
