Hizoku have lofty ideals, that’s for sure. Their aim to collectively cultivate human creativity is borne out in their high concept, intricately illustrated tees for the t-shirt connoisseur, there’s no doubting that. The supreme message might not be to everyone’s taste, such as the t-shirt blog Hide Your Arms, but it doesn’t take long to realise that once you’ve arrived at Hikozu’s store the results speak for themselves. I don’t really mind what the ultimate aim is for this brand, I just know good t-shirts when I see them, and this label supplies them thick and fast. With a superb team of professional artists and graphic designers working behind the scenes to advance the art of the t-shirt, rest assured Hizoku deliver what they promise.

Names such as Facundo Diaz a prestigious Argentinian graphic/web designer and 3D illustrator, Tony Ariawan an Indonesian designer and 3D illustrator with an incredible eye for light and all its manifest effects, and A. J Dimarucot whose elemental blending of the extremes of traditional art and graphic design all reside in this particular slice of higher consciousness known as Hizoku. For those with their feet firmly planted in the ground, the fact that Dimarucot is a former art director for OgilvyOne be a simpler clue to the extreme high standard of illustration at this beguilingly graphic t-shirt company. Here’s another even bigger sign that Hizoku are probably as hot as an indie t-shirt brand can get, Dimarucot is currently in the top ten designers at Design By Humans, if he’s voted the overall best he’ll be awarded a massive $10,000 – so if you do love his work go and vote for him here.
