“Most of the time when people get scared they tend to run and hide. Luckily a bunch of close friends and I had a place to run to and play skateboarding without being scared. No worries of having to post something, being around a bunch of hawks and trees, and mixing a bunch of rocks and water together. The sense of being a kid feels really alive and well. We played some music, filmed some tricks, and sat behind a computer to put it all together. That place was off the grid for a while but it turned out to be a great spot to play hide and seek at. Now it’s on the grid at Lakai.com. Raise the volume and lower the expectations.” – Vincent Alvarez
Tuesday Lewman once sold a grave-robbed gold tooth to buy a rare Lou Reed shirt. She collects school furniture, 1970s organs, and traffics in rare dolls. She has lived with an FBI agent, created a short film about Juggalo love, and published under the pseudonym Dottie Cranbrook.
To make the Breana Geering (RED) deck, Tuesday knit a nine-color striped panel, then embroidered the (RED) OG and Breana’s name to the graphic using the duplicate stitch technique. Inspired by the powerful role of fiber art in past and present AIDS activism, she hopes the Breana Geering x (RED) deck will spread the message of (RED) far and wide.
