Dong Ho Archive
Five hundred years of Vietnamese woodcut satire, put back where it belongs: on the street, on a 300gsm tee.
Đông Hồ printmaking is down to a handful of master households, stuck between cheap tourist photocopies and museum glass nobody under thirty touches. These prints were never polite relics. They were the sharpest street art of 16th-century Vietnam.
Treat the woodcuts the way you'd treat an archival Keith Haring: typographic restraint, heavy substrates and silhouettes people actually wear in Sydney and Saigon. No faux-vintage yellowing and no apologetic charity tone.
Every master print was restored node by node by hand, never autotraced, to keep the chisel's bite. Then it went onto drop-shoulder tees, forest fleece, washed caps, ribbed socks, studio ceramics and archival frames.
