CAPTAIN’S LOG 01932.91 - 3/11/19: Aloha, I know I rarely update the news, but there’s a lot of great news to share in the upcoming weeks. I’ve once again teamed up with The Very Warm jacket company and have a gorgeous collaborative effort breaking ground for the 2019//Winter Season. More updates soon. Besides that, I’ve teamed up with an old partner of mine from Daydream Silkscreen with a new clothing company going public in the next few weeks.

It’s a lot to take in, I understand, if you’re feeling emotional from reading this.. you can contact me at any time for “morgal” support. I’m going to hold back though, although I have so much more news to share. I mean, I can’t spill all my beans, right away.. you know what i’m talking about? I know you do.

In the meantime, can you find me in the picture below?
