Illicit Copies

Commissioned

The Illicit campaign sound recreates a hybrid Japanese psychedelic punk rock album 

 The work draws from a lineage that is widely borrowed from and rarely acknowledged where Japanese aesthetics are absorbed into American media while remaining distant from their origin

The title Illicit Copies reflects this tension

In contrast Jacque Marie Mage’s work represents a direct commitment to Japanese craft and honors its precision discipline and heritage through a dedication to producing the highest quality eyewear in the world
