Meet Alex

Hey! I’m Alex, a screen printer, artist and creative from Malta and now based in Berlin. My work centres around Gen-X nostalgia, esoteric imagery and cats...its all about the cats.

 

My Story

After studying Psychology and figuring I didn’t have the emotional capacity to deal with the stress of the job, I went on to study graphic design, where, on a self led history assignment, I discovered screen printing through music. I started out by printing funny tees and random stuff I would sew or build in the back of my parents garage and later on the kitchen table in my first apartment. Now I work out of a top notch rented studio space in the centre of Berlin.

Fun facts about me

Hobbies: cooking, sitting by the sea, napping

Fave snack: cold pizza

Coffee order: black as my soul

Early bird or night owl? Permanently exhausted pigeon

 

Environmental Responsibility

At Cat Magic Collective I try my utmost to maintain high standards and respect to other workers in the world and the environment. I do this in the following ways:

  • switching tshirt prints to organic cotton and/or fair trade textiles
  • using water based inks, avoiding additional chemicals to cure inks and not depositing ink into the water table when cleaning
  • recycling packaging when possible (and I encourage you to do the same)
  • using paper and recycled cardboard boxes and switching out bubble wrap mailers
  • selling damaged items at reduced price instead of disposing of them
  • paying extra fees during production to offset carbon footprint
  • producing small amounts of items to avoid excess stock. This means that although we want all sizes to be available all the time, its not always possible. So please hit us up if you can’t find your size!
  • not offering free returns. Please choose what you want to buy responsibly so we can avoid increasing our shipping carbon footprint.
  • donating profits from selected items to the Women's Rights Foundation in Malta
  • printing on recycled paper

As a result, the cost price of single items comes out quite expensive compared to products you buy from retail chains or websites which sell counterfeits and rip-offs. With small creators like myself, you are investing in the original work of an artist who is also trying her utmost to be eco-conscious. Thank you for browsing my shop and buying straight from the artist, every sale makes us do a happy dance.
