Japan based, UK born artist Russell Maurice aka Gasius & Alterior linked up with the 'Mind Reader' collection. Gasius has been making clothing for 25 years now. Starting as a skate label back in 1993, Gasius was born out of an older underground label; ‘The Gasface’. Maurice's current work of art consists of abstract paintings combined with animation and manga elements, three-dimensional works of various mediums, collages and a few photographs, and has entered a new stage of the "Comic Abstraction Movement". The collection is available exclusively at A Living Taste.
