Art-tees

What? Why? Where? Again?
A painting rests on a canvas. It can be photographed and reproduced ad-nauseam. Or ad-lucrum, if you ask Warhol or any shop selling reproductions business. 
 
A T-shirt is a piece of canvas. You can wear it, wash it, dump it. You can hang it in a frame or on a wire hanger (Oh, no!). Wear it once or twice and adding to your collection (don't we all have favourite tees we don't dare to wear again?). 
 
Woodblock prints can be reproduced, which is the main point of carving the wood panels for each individual colour. Many are tremendous works of art. 
 
My composition for a t-shirt is a combination of woodblock printing art and (illustration) graphic art.  
Cutting the vinyl which is pressed on the fabric/t-shirt is a one time activity. 
Unlike the woodblock print who once carved can be used by re-applying ink, to make a second t-shirt would mean cutting the vinyl layer again. This is not something I am willing to do, one of the reasons being the time that cutting and weeding the vinyl takes.  
 
For the above-mentioned reasons, I advise the man buying an art-tee, to internalize the fact that he'll be wearing a unique piece of art.  
 
Warning 
I will sometimes post on my website and/or Instagram a future art-tee project. If you see that before it's pressed on a medium of large (European) size and you would like to wear it but you have a different size, make an inquiry.

a list I made for myself, to put thing on a row. types of tshirts out there 

-text – tees that need u to stop and read. To make u laugh or state what they cant speak out. Wise quotes. 
-mimes. Image and text. Tees that point to an online language.  
-cute images. Mostly ai generated. Here I am, sweet and funny, like me! 
-smart tees. Short editions. Look, Im smart, unique (sort of), wise, cultivated, different. ex: "moses, first man with a tablet who downloaded data from the cloud".   
-logo tees. 
-esoteric tees: japanese lettering. Im cult, I can read my tee, you can't. I understand foreign art. 
-warhol type art: industrial, repetitive, mass produced. Short editions included 
-gay world symbols, messages. Short editions, still mass produced, fashion based 
-free hand-out tees, advertising
