People looking for intriguing t-shirt art are directed to the House of Exu on Etsy, where there are shirts depicting occult rituals performed fluffy animals, visualizing puns, and touching on East Van branding (often with reference to crows). The founder/ artist/ silkscreener Exu Nazares (formerly of Windwalker and Technicians of the Sacred, and a key figure in Ashe Gallery, which some of you may remember) featured prominently in a story I did this year, before which I had *no idea* who ran Ashe or built the altars in the basement (which I saw firsthand in my 20s, when I was most intrigued by voodoo and such). After the holidays, rest assured that THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME ON EXU (pronounced "esshu," by the way, not "ex-su"); this is just in case you're looking for holiday gift ideas! A few of my favourite images are below:
Rabbit Ritual:
Mystical Chinchilla:
Unicorn Meltdown:
Rite of Spring:
Midnight Meeting:
Lots more to see on his website... local guy... very unique voice... buy a shirt or a hoodie or something!
