Behind The Design: Everything That Grows Wild Is Divine

Our Lady of Guadalupe for me is a modern version of Gaia. The mother spirit of the world that welcomes all, heals all, and protects all. She is also a symbol of social justice and feminism. A woman radiating the sun, standing on the moon, and wearing a cloak made of the night sky.

Cannabis is a sacred herb; a gateway to inspiration. Pot gets you high. Raising your consciousness of thought to a higher level. Expanding your mind also expands your empathy.

The more thoughtful you are, the more you think outside of yourself, the more you have room in your thoughts for other people and other ideas that are beyond your own ego.

From a design perspective, I loved the mix of textures and fabrics for this shirt. After we screened the cannabis leaves on the garments, we took a printed patch that had amazing detail and double stitched it to the shirts.
