We're staying in and having an alright time! I hope you're finding something to laugh about each day. And if you're not, you know where to go and find some laughs with our dark humour. My son is much older now, but I just love this snap of him so much, what a dude! I can't wait to get making again once this lockdown is over, and I can travel. It's so much fun to make items for that special someone right? ... Do you have a design you'd like to see for your special someone? If it's a design that I'm going to be reprinting soon and is also the right size, and I may be able to help your dreams become a reality. Let me know via DM if you have an idea and we can contemplate it together :-) #conquerinstagram #conquergear #ethicallymade #sustainablysourced #slow_living #infantfashion #skullart #conquergear #darkarts #skullillustartion #skullobsession #skulllove #illustratedtees #spitalfieldsmarket #eastlondonart #spitalfieldse1 #illustratedstorytellers #eastlondon #ethicalclothing #handprintedapparel #ethicalliving #sustainableliving #oldspitalfieldsmarket #ethicallifestyle #ethicalcompany #conquerinstagram #stayathome #ethicalbabyclothing #stayingin

down, but not out yet! 😳 NEW ITEMS - https://mailchi.mp/…/early-bird-discoun ted-christmas-sales-…
Are you cosy and warm at home? NO? Well, let us help you out! Initially, this hoodie was perfect the cold chill in the air outdoors, but now, it's the perfect lounge wear, with a fluffy soft lining. Our skull scares away anxiety and discomfort by lighting it up with a smoking skull. How well does this hood go with black and grey, eh! Unisex style, so all can share in the warm glow, need a new zip hoodie for spring?... 📸@isidora_photography Models: @alicemaisetti @pheeffs #skullillustration #organiccotton #ethicalfashion #skeletons #smokingskull #organichoodie #ethicalclothing #needabreak #needasmoke #skull #silkscreen #hoodieweather #itsstillwinter #conquerinstagram #conquergear #backprinthoodie #organiccottonfashion #whitehoodie #stayathome @ Home Sweet Home

Did you know plastic bags were invented to save our trees? I have talked at length about our need to carry our own bags. But it is gutting to see so many single-use containers being used each day. We need our Trees, and that is where the vast majority of your paper bags are coming from. Would the knowledge that they are 300% more energy to produce then single-use plastic change your mind? I may be wrong for some people, but I think its the fact we still get given them as... a matter of course and we don't question this as we might do for plastic! The small charges for bags are such a tiny punitive measure that they, on the whole, haven't made the more significant difference in real terms that we need. This emphasis on shops being responsible for packaging up our goods has led us to carry on not carrying our bags as a daily habit. The system facilitates us to be lazy and forgetful, but we are responsible for making our societies and rules. And no matter how stringent your recycling is, the sheer fact of the matter is reduction is the only real way not to make a significant impact. How many bags have you used this week? An honest answer in the comments and I will respect you for showing you have read this, and maybe I have given you food for thought! I'd like to hear from all your stalkers of social ;-D @ Redwoods, California

Back to the Grimm, do we swallow the bitter with the sweet? Are you guilty of staying asleep to not have to think about the consequences of our actions? If we are serious about #childlabour and #multinational tax issues, then can we keep up appearances and support businesses we fundamentally disagree with? But where do I find a place to support better businesses you say... I'd say there are more places than ever to put your money where your mouth is. Don’t replicate models a...nd structures of incumbents that cause problems in the world. Build new models that solve them. With things like crowdfunding and the new ways to market that are being formed, maybe there is a new generation ready for our support and help to innovate the changes we need.
LETS POWER OURSELVES, comment and share companies bellow that you have come across. People are making these strides forward, but we need to talk about the issues and solutions that they are trying to solve, we are the answer to all the questions.
I'd love to have your eyes ears and minds helping me to make better choices, let me know!
Here are five worthy of note;
@transparentspeaker Transparent Speaker hardware designed to be easy to disassemble and repair, but the software; also designed to be upgraded over time! @fairphone Modular, upgradeable, ethical production and materials. while not perfect. The more of us jumping on board, the better it will become quite literally. @farmdrop Carefully curated, sustainably sourced groceries, delivered to you. 🌎👩🌾🐄 Use the code INSTA30 to get £30 off your first shop! @ethical.market A vast selection of ethical suppliers and a perfect place to get your next clothing item, gift for someone or homeware (We sell on here :-) @lucyandyak Inspiration on what is possible as a small independent fashion business. One day maybe we will have a fraction of the customer base that they seem so good at growing!

Ah!! Caveman is in a new colour?! and more on their way. In a unisex mango colour T-shirt with contrast teal eyes and Kanji text saying 'WOAH! I overslept!' in Japanese. What bright colours would you like to see our Caveman in next time? we have made something new for you for spring, so watch this space! ... In classic Caveman tradition, this shouting bearded old face has been reprinted in bright colours to scream the grey season away, what is better than a bit of #popart that can take on so much contextual meaning when used in different ways. Do you own a Caveman in a previous colour? Do you like the new pupils we added to the design, bit less freckish zombie right? #organiccotton #sustainablefashion #ethicalstyle #silkscreen #illustratedstorytellers #sustainablefashion #ecofriendlyfashion #ethicalfashion #ecofashion #slowfashion #fashionforgood #fashionwithpurpose #consciousconsumer #fashionrevolution #lessismorewardrobe #handmadeisbetter #silkscreenprinting #independentbrandclothing #independentdesign #ethicallymade #ethicallysourced #veganclothing #spitalfieldse1 #eyebeam #japanesetext #speechbubble #overslept #ねぼうしてごめん #寝すぎた

Homo homini lupus est (Man is wolf to man) Lex Drewiński I've always loved art that's about turning things on their head 😘. Playing with positive and negative space "in print" is much like playing with throw away sayings that we use unconsciously. challenging people's 'normal' with humor and absurdities. Strong imagey can carry so much story and create wonderful reactions and expand almost endless possibilities of debate and meaning. ... Requring no context or further reading, I think the best art is democrisized to belong to the people's imagination.
We carry on recommending with some art to check out with the often "political art" of #LexDrewinski. Politics isn't often to far away from this polish illustrator and printmaker. Famous for creating simple yet powerful social posters that are like a nuclear bomb to the mind, 🤯 enjoy!
"The quicker it gets to the punchline, the longer it stays in the memory" Lex Drewiński

What do you think? we really do want to know... I'm off to go do some printing of new T-shirts, new colours, new designs? We are trying to keep it fresh for you. Heres an idea I've been playing with and I wanted to know if it's something you'd be interested in: have you ever wanted to have one of our designs in specific colours, styles and garment types? 🙄... If we were able to produce batches to order with art we make, we could possibly make special and unique items for you specifically if it was the image we were about to produce anyway. We'd have to limit the options so you don't accidentally make something shit or something that doesn't work. But would this idea of placement and style options be of interest to you? We recently made some unique options for @echo_dek_ a shop in Finland, where you'll be able to pick up completely unique colours and styles that exist know where else in the world, this is something we really would love to do more of!
Comments 👇 bellow please, we would like to know if there is a need to democratise our process?
If we can we will, without making our lives a nightmare be opening up the possibility of this soon. A great idea but how will it work in practice? What we do know is that if we can cut down waste, that is always good for the environment. And as a consequence we can make your literal new favourite thing in the world which might make you happy?
Anyway, have a great end to your weekend, I'm off to finish my holiday and we will be open again next week so hopefully see you or hear from you soon.

Don't be like this Monkey and mindlessly beat to the rhythm of bad consumer habits! (I know it was a stretch but I had to shoehorn the message in somehow 🥴) Did you know that the garment industry is one of the worst culprits for health and safety violations and forced overtime to meet unrealistic deadlines? Deadlines that have been agreed in fear of losing big contracts from fast-fashion houses that demand the latest things to be made yesterday. This is why we make sure... our garment sources are all audited by the Fair Wear Foundation as this means that they've been made with ethical trade and justice for workers in the manufacturing and supply chain! Let's face it, no one wants a garment covered in tears and a world full of exploitation. Say no to supporting it with your business until progressive bodies like the #fairwarefoundation are involved as standard everywhere, and you can be sure people have human rights, want to know more 👍 ask us a question down bellow in the comments👇 and we will do our best to answer ! Whatever you do for 2020 let's make the pact to shop from better sources!
In other news, we are closed at the market for one week for a holiday this week. Sorry but we will be back on the 20th of feb for you to swing by.

So we all know the deal. Plastic is bad, our throw-away culture, and fast fashion attitudes are contributing to polluting and warming up our planet. We know we should be recycling more, most importantly though we should be reducing our use of resources and when possible reusing more of our things before we put into landfills or to be recycled willy nilly. Sometimes people might feel like washing out your food packaging like jars, or flattening our cartons and separating t...he non-recyclable film with the recyclable plastic tray might be extra, but on a domestic level, we should all get into the habit of recycling and understanding what is possible and what should just be straight up avoided. Why? Well did you know around 95% less energy is used to make products from recycled materials than using raw materials! The UK generated 222.9 million tonnes of total waste in 2016 (which I know is four years ago but that's what I got), with England responsible for 85% of the UK total If everyone in the UK recycled 10% more paper, we could save 5 million trees a year 275,000 tonnes of plastic are used each year in the UK (around 15 million plastic bottles per day) Plastic when left to its own devices can take up to 500 years to fully decompose Plastic bags, bottles, and packaging that end up in oceans kill 1 million sea creatures every year. If all cans in the UK were recycled we could get rid of 14 million dustbins 5 out of every 6 glass bottles are thrown away, glass is 100% recyclable... if left in landfills it takes 1 Millian years. When a tonne of paper is recycled, 17 trees are saved Aluminium cans can be recycled and ready to use again in around 6 weeks or it takes 80 years to decompose.
Well that's that for fact Monday here. We will be back with more informative and helpful info soon 🤩
Happy Monday. #empoweringchange starts at home. Then takes over the whole planet!

This piggy is now a UNISEX tee style! We loved this dip dye red colour when we first printed our x-ray piggy on a women's roll sleeve in this colour. So we've done it again but now in a unisex shape! Unlike our other colour T-shirts, the dip dye red means that the colour has a soft tothe touch texture as they have been hand-dyed in batches then stone washed. This also means that the colour can differ batch to batch, making each one even more one-of-a-kind!... When the T-shirts are dyed, the water used in the process is cleaned and reused to prevent any water pollution, this is on top of the regular organic cotton and wind and solar energy production. So this is 💯% ethical, and 90% reduced in carbon from all parts of the process. #TomoyaHiramatsu #xray #piggy #dipdyeredTshirt #ConquerGear #illustratedstorytellers #conquerinstagram #piggy #silkscreen#unisexfashion #skeletonart #illustratedstorytellers #veganclothing #londonmarket #oinkoink #pigsofinstagram #smallbusiness #sustainablysourced #menswear #eastlondonlife #xraypig @ Spitalfields E1

Don't be lead by the BULLS...! 'Les coquins' by @fayollemarion I just thought I'd share some art that made me chortle and have a little think. ... I recommend having a look at there instagram, if you're looking for surreal humour, with powerful imagery transcending words whilst retaining a strong narrative. which is helpful as it's in French! Have you got any recommendations for some awsome artists to follow? Let me know in the comments and I look forward to having a good ol' deep dive later!👇👇👇
Also would you like me to post more about other stuff that inspires??? #marionfayolle #coquins #comptehumour #lescoquins #artinspo #artoftheday #artoninstagram #quirkyart #lowbrowart #lowbrowartist #weirdillustration #trippyillustration #bullart

If someones got a real grump on today, turn your back on them and hopefully they'll learn how to laugh with our back printed three-step diagram. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 and repeat. Three heads are better than one, they're cackling there way on to the back of our white long-sleeve 100% organic cotton T-shirt. Three is the number of perfection or completion, so it makes sense to why there are three skulls of the apocalypse rather than four on this design. 'Third time luc...ky' or 'three times a charm!', number 3 is a prime number and also a triangular number. Oh no wait, there is the grinning smiley skull on the other side. It's here, the end of days. Run and hide; the omens are here! #tomoyahiramatsu #darkarts #silkscreenprint #penciltopaper #sketchingskulls #skullillustration #organiccotton #ethicalfashion #skeletons #organichoodie #ethicalclothing #silkscreen #skeletonart #illustratedstorytellers #skullstyle #sustainablefashion #ecofriendlyfashion #ethicalfashion #ecofashion #slowfashion #fashionforgood #fashionwithpurpose #consciousconsumer #fashionrevolution #lessismorewardrobe #laughingskull @ Ladywell Fields

Throwback friday - 3 skull was originally part of our postcard series. We played around with adding some watercolour to designs and made ltd edition postcard series. We did this for a celebration of our fifth birthday, all illustrated by our classic pencil Wiz Tomoya Hiramatsu. and now we have had fun animating some of them 💀💀💀 These three skulls are having the laugh of their... life? Three is the number of perfection or completion, I mean look at them, they're unhinging t...heir jaws from laughter, they're having a blast. or 3 skulls of the riders of the appocolypse? A design to laugh hysterically on #brexitday 👻 rather then crying? Either way we hope you join us in finding the lighter side to anything. After all, we have a skull grinning under each one of our faces!
We now have some lovely garments with this design printed across the shoulders! Have you seen the hoodie or long sleeve top?

We heard you, now our Day of the Dead print is available in mango UNISEX style! We really loved this colour combo. Originally we printed it on a organic gold roll-sleeve for women, but now we have it in this relaxed unisex t-shirt shape that is a gorgeous heavyweight weave that oozes quality softness! Let us know if you have a favourite design and what colour you would like to see it in the future? We are due to reprint for a few designs very soon!... would you like to order your own version in a different colour or shape? #yellowtshirt #dayofthedead #conquerinstagram #organiccotton #brightyellow #diadelosmuertos #dayofthedeadart #ethicallymade #ethicalfashion #ethicallysourced #veganclothing #independentbrand #fairwear #spitalfieldsmarket #unisexclothing #unisexfashion #londonbased #londonlabel #eastlondon #spitalfieldse1 #spitalfieldsmarket #londonfashion #mariachi @ Spitalfields E1

Need a smoke break? this is a fun little edit of our most popular postcard we used to do! Who remembers it? That Monday vibe hits hard as we go back into work. We are all shaking off the Christmas debts, now the New Year festivities and fun are a hazy memory. what's to look forward to but a cold wind in the face when you leave your shelter? Bleek 😔 ... This sketch is the original of our smoking skull print. Tomoya is an ex smoker and it can be a running theme though a lot of our skeleton designs. Our designs mostly start off as pencil sketches, sometimes we make more edits and change the initial ideas to suit the content or printing teqniques. In this case, this sketch by Tomoya just needed to be cleaned up and prepped for silk-screen printing and each print comes out with all those gorgeous textures and subtleties of the tones! In this post we animated the smoke for social media fun, unfortunately we can't do that on garments! Also this has so much detail in the print it's the reason that we don't do dark fabrics with the print as it would all be completely lost in print! #skullillustration #organiccotton #ethicalfashion #skeletons #smokingskull #pencilonpaper #sketchingskulls #ourprocess #needasmoke #silkscreen #conquerinstagram #conquergear #pencilillustrations #pencilsketch #smokingskull

It's time for action not talk. Bring back Beyond Petroleum 👍
It's red. It's got yellow glowing eyes. It's colourfully screaming 'WOAH! I overslept!' in Japanese.👁️👁️ Warm-up in this lovely patch of weather we are having, with a front pocket fleeced hood. keep your hands toasty inside, and double thickness in the hood means this really does the trick to insulate your ears no matter their size ☺️. and it's unisex!!! 🥳 knowing that this garment is audited by the Fair Wear Foundation will be a peace of mind. ... Free from issues in manufacturing and supply chain!
