Extinct is Forever

January Recap:

In the Month of January we hosted local Dana Point Artist, Justin Adams, for our MULCH Gallery event where Justin brought his home to ours. Bringing the art that Justin felt represented who Justin is as a creative and as a visionary. With the arts many abstract features, contrasting color palettes, and the deconstructed features of what was drawn on the art, gave it life. 

Justin is a mystery to most, but to those around Justin he is nothing but. To us, Justin's not only a friend but someone we relate with and correlate with our work. Working on projects with Justin; creative design, fabric dye, modeling, styling, has created a bond between us as MULCH whereas a collective we feel proud to have hosted him in our space.

January was a very eventful month and one to remember for the Gallery. On top of the Art show we finalized our new release, Extinct is for Forever, more about the product below…

Baby by Rachel Lord, February 6th, 2026 5-9PM

In Baby, Lord explores themes relating to the development of the super-ego through a “my kid could paint that” lens. New paintings and sculpture are graphic, pop assemblages which explore themes of hypnosis, language acquisition, brainwashing, and politics through the language of childhood.

In addition to painting and sculpture, R.Lord will be making her debut performance as Tomás. Born in Portugal, Tomás is a rock n roll legend and expression of pure ID. He represents the permission to be one's most rock n roll self.

Baby will also include a selection of personal used Lord Bords for sale, as well as the release of the much anticipated kneelo-girl baby tee on exclusive Mulch-made cut-to-sew garments made in San Clemente.

R.Lord (b. 1986) is an artist, surfer, shaper, and musician living currently in Ventura, CA whom we are happy to host at the Gallery this Month of February.  Debuting on February 6th, 2026 and will be on display till the end of the month of February. Lords paintings are conceptual and epistemological in nature and explore the development of, and confinement to our beliefs. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2008 (BFA Painting) and currently shapes surfboards under the label Lord Bords.

Extinct is Forever 

Extinct is Forever, Capturing the meaning behind the words and what we meant in representing that meaning we built off of that Idea. We began coming up with concepts and finalized the design we came up with. 

It became a representation instead of what we could lose but what we would lose if we were to lose the beauty of nature and what the world had given us to begin with. Extinction is not fiction but reality of what could happen if we don’t make the right decisions for what we control. Which stands by our Ethos of building this brand of only utilizing natural fibers so if the time does come where the clothing has no more time left in our world it goes back to it. Not Extinct, Reborn.

Using our Utopian supply chain concept “Farm to closet” we began production utilizing our traditional 100% Supima T-Shirts and Hoodies the design began to flow into reality. Where now it is available to the general public to spread our message and concept behind the design.
