JASON PHU X ALPHA60 X RISING GLASS MUG — $30
One fish’s existential crisis is your gain. Our Jason Phu X ALPHA60 heatproof glass mug features a classically Phu line drawing of a finned philosopher, his rude mate and a mean eel. Cute gang.

LIN ONUS X ALPHA60 X RISING LONG SLEEVE TEE—WHITE COCKATOO — $90
