Tina St. Claire ( Tfail ) and Dereck Seltzer ( Haunted Euth ) began TMRWLND in their shared studio, crafting each layout, binding, and design details by hand—limiting each run to only 25 copies—even silkscreening each individual cover by hand, to create these precious objects for the world.
They both grew up avid learners and loners, finding solace and satisfaction in the late night bookstores and coffee shops, in the busy bustling L.A. Both were both compulsive creators, and found a large sense of satisfaction in the mutual work they shared and completed. St. Claire felt relaxed and most at ease when she was drawing; it was her safe space to work out thoughts and ideas that were not so easily expressed through words. Seltzer, on the other hand, has always had a dependency on creating and putting out material on a constant basis. He has said that he feels extremely uneasy if he does not have something creative to show for his time spent over the course of any given week. They both enjoyed the process of making work above all else, and rarely cared for the finished product. Seltzer compares this compulsion to an addict who enjoys the ritual of the preparation of the drugs prior to use—they truly enjoyed the process of making the art and zines as much, if not more than, the finished product.

Created with the same silk screen Tina herself used to make her “ Sauvage” wheat pastes which were placed around Los Angeles, this shirt has a 18 x 24 inch print on the front and has been hand dyed with Acid - no two shirts are the same, with each one baring a unique color and mark as a result of the dye process.
The sales from these shirts are going toward the publishing of her second book of art and for the documentary on her art, life and battle with GBM - a lethal form of Cancer which took her from us last year at the age of 31.
The trailer for the film will be release 3/9/17 - On the one year anniversary of her passing.

T.s. Claire aka Tfail my fiance and creative partner of many years was also a musician on top of being a Illustrator and painter - the guitar she is seen playing in the photo was given to her friend Mike and I am currently etching her art into it for him. You can see a early progress shot of a portrait of Tina with more texture and painting to be added this week.
