The House Geek Collection

In a reference to the royal houses in Dune, by Frank Herbert, "House Geek" was developed to refer to a group of geeky friends. This label later was repurposed to be a name of an actual living space, and today, LibRAL Arts has transformed "House Geek" into designs celebrating the quirky and tiny living spaces of Lou’s past.

Explore "House Geek", a place of quirky content intended to break you from your social media haze.

The t-SHIT Blog Collection

The T-SHIT Blog is a collection of products, each with their own story. This functional line features musings on amusing, and not so amusing, topics and events.

Lou doesn’t take shit with t-shirts.

The power of one letter is great. In this case of a particular Manhattan intern, that letter was an "R". The t-SHIT name references this small yet very large mistake made in a city wide promotion to remind us to proofread.

Proofreading and analytic thinking in general are important skills, and are vital in a world riddled with misinformation that can be dangerous.

The Black Lives Matter Collection

The Black Lives Matter Collection celebrates strength through struggle.

Lou is on a mission to make the public more familiar with black history. With the knowledge that familiarity is an instigator of change, Lou creates art to draw the attention of the public, and asks individuals to utilize the "Rule of Seven" as a catalyst for change. With increased exposure, the uneducated public will come to recognize these important faces, which is the first step in dismantling the fear that causes hatred and ignorance.

The Chicken Strip Collection

One little truth at a time…

Browse through Lou’s commentary on current events by entering a world of chickens. Chicken scratch chickens portray heavy subjects with a light hearted comic strip.

Each product features a unique episode of “Chicken Strip”, a series of political cartoons that strive to bring a little humor to the darkness of the news.

Lou encourages you to take a moment for this comic relief, but to never allow the act of laughing to alter our baselines for what is acceptable behavior for leadership.

The Magic Sack Collection

A collection of non-collectables. Specifically not specific. Magic Sack contains a little of this and a little of that.

The purest form of individual freedom is deciding who you are. Magic sack celebrates the things that don't fit inside of boxes.

Using binary labels or set categories to describe people not only obfuscates the myriad of spectrums that we live on, but creates a world where we are choosing who we want to be from a selection of predefined options that are created by other people, instead of ourselves.

The world is not binary. At best, people only approximately fit into categories. The illusion of a binary world is created by binary language, and as long as we use the language that divides us, we will struggle against tribalism and discrimination–which are natural and predictable responses to this false separation.

Change the world by changing your words. Learn more about spectrums and empathy on Fight With Your Mind

The Colorful Individuals Collection

Colorful artwork featuring figureheads that work and stand up for individuals of every color, of every sex & sexuality, and of every background. This rainbow of honorable people was made to celebrate their hard work and dedication to the fight for equality.

Inequality is not a myth–we can't fix a problem that we don't admit we have. Be an ally and inform the skeptics.

The Draw Hot Dog Collection

Hot Dog has feelings and isn’t afraid to tell you. Hot Dog speaks the truth. Is Hot Dog talking about you? You know who you are.

As a wee one, Lou didn’t like to draw. Lou, however, liked watching others draw. When calling out requests for illustrations, the favorite was always “Draw Hot Dog!”.

Lou finally takes the next step and draws the omniscient Hot Dog–this time, without help–in a comic series that includes lessons for the public, driven home by the use of props.
