A limited-edition collaborative collection, in tribute to the creative journey.

In science, the path to discovery is as documented as the final findings. But in art, a piece’s process—the steps of how it came to be—is often eclipsed by its final form. That unseen growth of ideas was the spark behind Actual Source, the design studio, publisher and book store, founded by designers JP Haynie and Davis Ngarupe. All in an unassuming place, Utah.

A limited-edition t-shirt created in collaboration with the independent publisher and design studio Actual Source. Made as an evolution of the Kotn by Actual Source Collection, the piece is the meeting of many creative minds. Featuring Actual Source’s mascot dog, designed by them, hand lettering by Berlin-based illustrator Stefan Marx, and typography by Swiss design studio Dinamo. The artwork is screen printed on our best-selling Box Crew, a structured everyday tee with an elevated feel.

We chatted with the founders on their dedication to open-sourcing creative inspiration, preserving knowledge through many forms, and our latest four-piece collaboration: Kotn by Actual Source.
