Online Ceramics, a cult brand known for Grateful Dead bootleg tees turned philosophical art practice, is releasing its TRICKER’S CABIN: The Oral and Visual History of Online Ceramics today.

Published by A24, this 348-page book as its name suggests, offers an oral and visual history of the brand. It features conversations with collaborators like John Mayer, Andy Cohen and Daniel Lopatin, a photographic timeline of their archive and insights into the founders’ personal interests.

TRICKER’S CABIN will also signal the final project from Online Ceramics’ Elijah Funk and Alix Ross as a collaborative unit.

TRICKER’S CABIN: The Oral & Visual History of Online Ceramics is the final project from Funk and Ross under the original Online Ceramics banner,” Funk and Ross explained in a statement, calling the project “a capstone to an incredible partnership and an anthology of a singular, boundlessly creative friendship.”

“After eight years of collaboration, Alix Ross is parting ways with Online Ceramics to pursue new ventures. Elijah Funk will stay on at the company,”

The book also explores Online Ceramics’ unique aesthetic, which combines bootleg tradition with punk aesthetics and pop culture references. It details their collaborations with A24, starting with bootleg Hereditary shirts that led to an official partnership. David Kordansky, who wrote the introduction, describes their work as “subversive memento mori.” The book covers topics from punk music to death, Kirtan yoga and psychedelic experiences.

Priced at $65 USD, the book is now available to purchase via the A24 Shop.
