The architect's marketplace

this design was drawn originally on mixed media paper using a zebra brush tip marker by erick himself.

"MANY OF THESE QUOTES CAME FROM SCANS OF DIFFERENT NOTEBOOKS TO COLLECT MY IDEAS.  I OFTEN FIND THAT IT IS EASIER TO PUT THINGS DOWN ON PAPER BEFORE AN INTENSE *ZOOM* MEETING OR GROUP BRAINSTORMING SESSION."

“The impatient idealist says: 'Give me a place to stand and I shall move the earth. ' But such a place does not exist. We all have to stand on the earth itself and go with her at her pace.”

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.”

And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly.  Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration.  Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us.  They existed.  They existed. We can be.  Be and be better. For they existed."

From Erick:

"When I first started to make music, I dreamed about being able to afford really expensive professional studio gear. I ran through every plug-in there is online, but nothing really compared to the real thing. I've been obsessed with the past since I was a little kid. The first vintage synth I bought was the Yamaha DX7, and then I moved onto the Juno-106. The Jupiter8 is probably every analog producers dream piece, I know it's still mine.

On this day of 4/20, I'm commemorating my love for music and my love for cannabis with a limited run of shirts (only 420) for anybody that feels where I'm coming from. You dig?

The unique thing about this shirt is that it will be completely DIY--I plan to smoke and dip some of these shirts into different dyes to make each one unique. No 2 shirts will be exactly the same, unless of course you get a shirt that is just plain white. I will try to be sure that each shirt has a little dye splash (and maybe ash a few blunts on it). I'll be dying and smoking these on 4/20 so give me a bit to get all of the shirts out because I will be high as fuck. Thanks guys!"

This shirt is being printed as we speak and will ship to all buyers upon 7-10 days of purchase.

"This book showcases a myriad of drawings done in public [initially] really as an experimentation— earlier this year I became really infatuated with cubism and the ability the brain has to interpret shapes as human facial features.  I carry a pen and paper everywhere as an everyday practice to use technology less.  This book has a small assortment of drawings I’ve done while traveling."
