my brother

my brother was born in 2002 — i was 11 years old. he was born about a week before my birthday — he was my birthday gift.

A baby brother.

Fast forward, we are now collaborators and building something great together.

Inspired by his love for Elvis Presley and jumpsuits, he designed and produced this fabric poster for OP/AL.

You can learn more about him through his Substack.
