The Index

Every piece begins as a deep idea.

Every piece starts with a line or a verse that would not leave us alone, and the artwork is built to argue for it. This is where we explain what each piece means and why we drew it. Nothing here is decoration.

Ecclesiastes 11:4

“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.”

We drew a wilting flower under gathering clouds, with a cross in rose vines on the back. It was planted late and grew anyway, which is more than the seed that never went in.

Isaiah 43:13 Infinity Thorns Oversized Tee Front Isaiah 43:13 Infinity Thorns tee worn, back, natural Back

Isaiah 43:13

“From eternity to eternity I am God.”

We bent thorns into an infinity. The crown was used to mock him, so we made the mockery into the proof of his eternity.

Jesus Won Oversized Tee Front Jesus Won tee worn, back, natural Back

Be Exalted

“Jesus Won”

We used no quote here, just past tense on purpose. On the back he points toward the sky, past the words set above him, because he doesn't take the credit either.

Yahweh Embroidered Hooded Sweatshirt Front Yahweh Embroidered hoodie worn, back, sand Back

04 / 08

The Name

“Yahweh”

We used only the name God gave Moses, in handwritten script at the center of the chest. We chose embroidery because it's stitched in rather than sitting on top.

Seneca Volcano Samurai Oversized Tee Front Seneca Volcano Samurai tee worn, back, natural Back

05 / 08

Seneca

“No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.”

We drew a samurai facing an erupting volcano. We chose a volcano because it brings chaos and trials, and it's also why the ground around it is the most fertile there is.

Marcus Aurelius Timeline Oversized Tee Front Marcus Aurelius Timeline tee worn, back, natural Back

06 / 08

Marcus Aurelius

“Do every act in your life as if it were your last.”

We drew a figure walking away with Roman numerals counting down behind him. Everything behind him is fixed. Everything ahead isn't fully drawn, because the future isn't guaranteed.

Heraclitus Cherry Blossom Samurai Oversized Tee Front Heraclitus Cherry Blossom Samurai tee worn, back, white Back

07 / 08

Heraclitus

“Character is destiny.”

We drew a samurai under falling cherry blossoms, facing away. Fate isn't luck. Build yourself into someone deserving of the goal and you reach it because of who you became.

Pythagoras Koi Fish Oversized Tee Front Pythagoras Koi Fish tee worn, back, natural Back

08 / 08

Pythagoras

“Virtue is harmony.”

We drew two koi circling each other, equal in size and speed so neither leads, with the quote held still in the middle. Harmony isn't stillness. It's motion kept in balance.
