Clay Hickson is an illustrator and publisher living in Los Angeles. His work is a hodgepodge of influences ranging from 1980's post-modern design to west coast airbrush illustration with a little splash Northern-California-New-Age-Hippy magic. He also runs Tan & Loose Press, a small publishing company that prides itself on producing medium quality, Riso printed ephemera for the tasteless art collector.
I believe that jewelry should be a characteristic of the wearer; as distinct and individual as the person who wears it.
Always earthy and metal prominent, my form of design is to present a contemporary take on traditional items. Whether the project is to repurpose inherited pieces, design a custom item, or simply add to our collection, the process is very intentional.
Since Sustainability and small-scale production is my main focus, our pieces are never mass-produced or ready to ship and I take pride in the intimacy of creating made to order pieces.
