It’s neat to see a deep dive into the minds of Alix and Elijah and observe what inspires them to create. The interviews are fun and reveal a collaborative vulnerability in their design making process.

It seems that a large part of their success not only stems from their collective experiences and immense artistic talent, but also their shared encouragement and belief in one another.

The photo archive of their t shirts from 2016 to 2023 is a real treat!
