"I'm an obsessive little pervert for art"
— James Green

I've always quite liked the idea that what we're wearing can tell us something about each other before we've met or opened our mouths

Sometimes a t-shirt can start a conversation before a face does.

That's partly why I’ve started making these.

Not as products. Not as fashion either really.

Each one is painted by hand on Earth Positive blanks. I work quickly and make zero corrections. The dye usually bleeds through to the back. What starts as a mistake usually ends up being the point

I like the idea that these things might help people find each other.

Maybe that's a weird reason to make things but sometimes I need a reason.

I don't make products

I make something else.

-James Green

Each design starts life as an original artwork — oil, acrylic, spray, or digital collage — and is transferred to premium 100% organic cotton blanks using archival-grade screen print. No fast fashion. No bulk. Every run is intentionally small.

The aesthetic is deliberate: somewhere between a zine, a tour poster, and a gallery wall. If you grew up skating, going to shows, or flipping through records in the back of a shop — this is for you.
