You opened two gifts this morning. They were your eyes. Step inside Tricker’s Cabin, an encyclopedic look into the tie-dyed, skeleton-filled, joyfully anarchic world of Online Ceramics, the coveted clothing brand founded by Elijah Funk and Alix Ross. From their early days in art school and first time on the road selling Grateful Dead bootleg shirts, this is the origin story of how a homespun T-shirt-selling business evolved into a larger, more philosophical art practice with a singular aesthetic. Spanning topics as wide-ranging as punk music, haunted houses, veganism, and how to smoke DMT out of a potato, Tricker’s Cabin is a portrait of a unique partnership between two friends and artists who have forever changed our notion of what goes on a T-shirt. Featuring: Photos from touring with Dead & Company and the annual “Spookytober” Halloween movie festival Zines and flyers from Funk and Ross’ college days Conversations with friends of Online Ceramics, including John Mayer, Naomi Fry, and Daniel Lopatin (a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never) A complete index of the Online Ceramics T-shirt archive from April 2016 to May 2023
