It’s been a while since I posted up an interview, so I’m excited about this one with L’Atlas. I first got in touch with the French artist about five years ago. Nima at Digital Gravel was looking to try producing some artist tee brands and introduce them to the market. We absolutely loved his art and typography, and thought it would look great on T-shirts. Fortunately L’Atlas was game to find out. I wish I still had some of the shirts. I got back in touch with him recently to catch up, and see if he could find the time to do this. He’s certainly been very busy, and has plenty of amazing photos to prove it.
