One of my favorite shops is ran by Geoffrey Kixmiller and his partner, and they offer books, prints, clothing, objects, and a rapid response press. I probably order something each week from them and I love their curation and approach to design, they kill it! They also donate 10% of their profits, right now it’s to a fund called LA Tenants Union’s #FoodNotRent Solidarity Fund. AND on top of that, they offer free Risograph printing for activists, organizers, and protestors!! What else could you ask for?

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something great entirely by accident and at exactly the right time. This is how I feel about Tony Shirtmakers. Tony is a one man powerhouse who designs and makes (mostly custom) shirts & shirt jackets out of his home / studio in Maine. I am impatiently awaiting a beautiful brown-olive shirt jacket I commissioned a few weeks ago that should arrive right around the time this newsletter drops. Tony also just launched a small collection ready-to-wear at No Man Walks Alone — grab a top before they’re all gone!

A non-profit growing fruits and vegetables exclusively for underserved communities in New York that also makes fire merch to raise money. I recently got a t-shirt from their recent collabs with various clothing brands, but the coolest part about Sky High Farms is their custom merch. Each of their custom merch pieces are upcycled from vintage, thrifted clothing. Check out their custom hats, you never know what you’re gonna get, but just know you’re helping provide fresh veggies to folks who need them. If you’re not interested in merch, and just want to support them, donate here!

So I’ve been wearing the same 3 beanies in rotation for the last month and I don’t think I will ever wear another beanie ever again. They fit great, the colors are amazing, they wash well! Fred did such an amazing job with these and he’s honestly becoming one of my favorite designers. I’m really excited to see what he has coming next. Keep your eyes on Fred!

Two of my all time favorite creative thinkers and people, Sean Murray and Nick Massarelli, run a publication called First Last and it’s been a year since their last release. However, I recently found out that they’re looking to release their next issue in April and it’s been one of my favorite pieces of news in months! I’ve bought every single issue and I will continue to do so!

I don’t know about you guys but music is top on my list for helping me get through the day. One of my favorite places to check for music is SoundCloud and one of my favorite people on there is lowiron. She does an absolutely amazing job mixing techno, house, and electronic tracks and she’s only been doing it for a few months!! Not to mention she’s really funny on twitter too, love her to death!
