ALPERSTEIN DESIGNS | Chris Black Cotton Socks
Regular price $34.00 $34.00
These cotton socks are based on artwork by Chris Black from Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association. They will have you hemming your pants way high. Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association are an incorporated non-profit, Tiwi governed organisation that was established in 1989. Jilamara is in the remote aboriginal community of Milikapiti, overlooking the Arafura Sea, on the north coast of Melville Island, the larger of two Islands that make up the Tiwi Islands.
Cotton Socks
Size: 8-11
Made in Australia.
Chris Black was born at Milikapiti Community, where he has spent the majority of his life. He is part of a large clan, consisting of three main families – the Bush, Black and Brown family names make up the majority of the Miartuwee Clan.
Chris attended high school at Kormilda College in Darwin. On return to Milikapiti, Chris was nurtured by his Aminayi (Grandfather) Black Joe who was a renowned Tiwi artist. Chris remembers this wise old man very well. Black Joe was a great carver, artist, spear-maker and culture man who created Tiwi songs for Chris when he was young. When Chris attends ceremony with family he sings these songs that were given to him by Black Joe. The memory of his aminayi is the main influence on his arts practice today. Looking at old designs painted in his grandfather’s era inspires Chris greatly and gradually over time he has become one of the exciting emerging artists currently working at Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association.
Also known as ‘Kojak’, he creates colourful compositions of jilamara (Tiwi body paint designs), various types of fish found around Melville Island and the Jarrangini (Buffalo). He paints his unique contemporary styles with natural earth pigments collected from around Milikapiti and processed by hand at the art centre. White and yellow ochre are collected and ground into a fine powder, the yellow is then cooked on an open fire into the red that make up the three main colours of the Tiwi palette. Chris’ unique style has caught the attention of many people in recent times and one of his limited-edition prints was recently licensed as a tattoo through the Copyright Agency – a poetic creative development that speaks to the body art (jilamara) foundations of Tiwi art making styles.
Jilamara artists are renowned for producing innovative contemporary works based on traditional ceremonial body painting designs, clan totems and Tiwi creation stories. Artists work from a palette of natural ochres to produce paintings on linen, canvas, paper, printmaking, weaving, bark & carved wood.
Over the course of three decades Jilamara artists have established themselves among the most recognised Indigenous artists nationally and internationally. With the support of the art centre, these artists have played a key role in cultural maintenance and renewal for the Tiwi people.

LODESTARS ANTHOLOGY | Postcards Compendium
Regular price $23.00 $23.00‘Extraordinary, really beautiful coffee table objects . . . incredible, gorgeous photographs’
- BBC Radio 4
"I’m convinced that to look back like this, while always in part an act of grief, is first and foremost a celebration. The past, humming with the attention we give it, repays us in kind - by reminding us of how far we’ve come. Now, and perhaps for a while yet, this will be our challenge, to take solace in memory."
- Cameron Zeyd Lange
Los Angeles, May 2020
During lockdown in London (having printed Mexico and replotted our issues dedicated to Greece and Wales) I found myself desperate to create. It wasn't about making the lockdown time count, more about finding ways to slow down, look back and seek beauty - and to offer a platform to some of the creatives who have been so generous with their time and talent over the years. And so the team and I began work on Lodestars Anthology Postcards - a 144 page photo book featuring archival work from across the world, paired with musings on life, travel and the wonders of photography.

LINGO | Mandarin Travel Playing Cards
Regular price $23.00 $23.00
Mandarin is spoken by more people on the planet than any other language - four times more than English! If you’re wanting to navigate the globe, then having at least a few words to pull out of your arsenal will come in handy. And, if you’re thinking of exploring China, knowing more is a must. Finding fluent English speakers outside of major cities can be harder than finding the lost city of Shi Cheng.
This deck includes 54 Mandarin translations essential for travellers who want to immerse themselves in the culture they're exploring - from everyday greetings and introductions, to eating out, moving around, or finding a place to stay. Practical phrases are accompanied by easy-to-learn pronunciation.
Pick up Mandarin while playing cards!
In 2012, on a Central America backpacking and surfing trip, Lingo's Aussie founder Keaton White had a "light bulb" moment to migrate hand-picked Spanish phrases from a battered notebook onto the cards he played every afternoon over sunset cervezas.
Having improved his Spanish through fun card games, he realised his idea was too good not to share. Lingo was founded in 2014 through a Kickstarter campaign and is now loved all over the world.
Whether you're planning forward for that trip when borders finally open, or just want expand your linguistic capabilities, you'll love using this fun deck. Featuring the most commonly-used Mandarin travel phrases, accompanied by easy-to-follow phonetic pronunciations, Lingo's playing cards offer a fun and easy way to learn a new language.
All Lingo Cards decks are beautifully designed and evoke unique themes and vibes. Each deck, which contains four suits of 52 playing cards and two Jokers, is made from only premium quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity.
