Why Do I Dream
A black-and-white fever dream. One man plays every part: the insomniac, the dreamer, the talk-show host and the skeleton behind the wheel.
SAGEAEYE
Light and darkness on one shirt, and a studio that makes films, sites and apps.
Halo on the chest, horns on the back.
Specimen 000
One shirt with heaven on one side and hell on the other. Pick the side that faces the world.
Halo forward · black
Everybody carries both.
Same shirt on all of them. The only difference is which side they let the world see first.
There's a scientist in the white room. He doesn't make monsters. He brings out the one that was already inside. Light and darkness live in everybody, and the series is what happens when one of them wins.

Before you claim
- Black or white tee, S to 2XL
- Printed to order, ships from the US
- Claiming is free; you can still pass
Am I paying for anything right now?
No. Claiming saves your spot, your side and your size. When the drop opens you get one email with a link to buy, and you can still pass.
Why are there two versions?
It's one design printed both ways. Horns forward puts the darkness on your chest and the light on your back. Halo forward flips it.
How does it fit?
It's cut boxy and heavy. Take your usual size for the oversized look, or size down for a closer fit. Exact measurements go out with the drop email.
When does it drop?
When the first run is ready. The list hears about it before anyone else, and the list gets the drop price.
How does shipping work?
Every shirt is printed to order when the drop opens and ships from the US. Timing goes out with the drop email.
I picked the wrong size.
Claim again with the same email. We go by your latest pick.

Specimen 000
My own label: the drop site, the 3D eye, the lookbook and the campaign, all generated, directed and cut in the lab.
MOTIV and Flores
Two new sites, each with a 3D moment: a heavy bag you can punch, tied to MOTIV's $45 trial, and a comal where you flip pupusas and build a call-in order for Flores.
