Brand profile
Independent Los Angeles label making hand-drawn, hand-dyed graphic tees and sweats rooted in Grateful Dead and counterculture imagery.
20 brands like Online Ceramics like Brain Dead, Cactus Plant Flea Market, Aries →

Founders Alix Ross and Elijah Funk build graphics from Dead lore, counterculture ephemera and outsider art, with dense hand-drawn text on tees and hoodies.
The two self-taught printers who started it in 2016 still own the label, and the hand tie-dyeing and printing remain the core of what it sells.
Collections arrive as limited drops sold direct and through select retailers, so prices sit above basic graphic tees and stock rarely returns.
Overall fit
runs large
Pieces are typically printed on heavyweight, boxy garment blanks that wear roomy and relaxed, so many find them larger than a standard fitted tee or sweatshirt.
Tip: Consider sizing down if you want a fitted look, otherwise stick to your size for the intended relaxed drape.
