We’re officially extending the submission deadline, so you’ve got a little more time to get in on it.

Shown here is just a glimpse of what’s up for grabs. Including our “Written in Our Image” tee, worn by STR33T on the cover, along with other rare pieces from around the world.

To enter, submit your response to the survey linked in our bio. That’s it.

Submissions close at the end of the month. Best of luck to all who enter!

Shared an excerpt from the book i’m writing, spent a month in Baltimore for an artist’s retreat, went to D.C. for a day, cried in multiple museums, opened TRR’s fifth pop-up, finished my Saturn return (thank GOD), celebrated Eldorado Ballroom, met and reunited with some incredible artists, loved on the homies.

Very grateful I got the chance to create paintings on printed tees for a great team @blacksofaredotna
We thought about the idea of passing down information, motion.
Nodding at the contributions of several Black leaders and families in Texas during Juneteenth & future Emancipation we thought about the Reverend Jack Yates, Barbara Jordan, and our ideas of celebratory design we practice in Texas.
God Good 💯
