13am Studio is a diverse platform exhibiting and selling art, initially through its online store. The brand has put together an all-star lineup of artists, the galácticos of the creative world! The studio’s first phase of submissions consists of over 80 creatives, including graphic and motion designers, 2&3D illustrators, alongside graffiti, tattoo, collage, and traditional artists, photographers, typographers, and many more!
This mixture of creative disciplines is unlike any ever seen before. Further variation comes from the mixture of nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds within the community, showcasing why the 13am collective is so unique and pioneering.
Founder George Ripton said: “The 13am brand was formed to celebrate and promote the sometimes unheralded, yet super talented creatives spread across the globe. Our aim was not just to identify these individuals but to give them a platform to showcase their work. Each artist will create their own unique submission, whether it’s a one-off piece or a series of artwork, all of which is exclusive to 13am.
“This collection will then be sold through our online store, giving people the rare opportunity to own a piece from their favourite creative and hang it on their wall.”
Ripton goes on to add: “I’ve been fortunate enough to meet so many hugely talented individuals in my career to date, yet sometimes I feel the platform isn’t always available for them to showcase their creativity, which was my main driving goal whilst setting up 13am.
“Although starting initially as an online print store, this is just the start for 13am Studio. The plan is to add further phases of new additional artists moving forward, gaining more exposure as the brand continues to grow. Alongside moving into the event space with exhibitions and pop up stores, we also aim to move into the digital space with the addition of NFTs.”

With 36 different nationalities represented, the diversity is apparent in the wide variety of prints available,showcasing not only a mixture of artistic disciplines but also a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds, synonymous with Dubai’s fast-growing reputation as a global hub.
Following the initial launch phase, there are big plans for growth and expansion through exhibitions, stores and the introduction of NFTs.
