◆ Vending by Altar Ego Design! Altar Ego Design is focused on art, both wall and wearable, for the curious of heart. Their art is a multi-faceted incorporation of vintage and antique fragments to create imagery surrounding themes of both death and the little death. All work is ethically sourced and reincarnated into new life.
