Art-tees

Two D Art, I’m talking about illustrations, paintings and such, find their support on canvas, paper, fabric, rugs, and such.
I’m not a fashion statement man but at times I see a tshirt with a print that makes me buy it. Still, I wear the same, boring tshirts I buy on discount, at the end of the season. And my little pile of tees, I touch them only when I unfold some, just to look at them. I do the same with the many quality art book editions that I bought over time.

The idea of making tshirts that are not primarily meant to be worn was solidified in a Reddit group conversation. Asking people there which are the tees they treasure the most, many replied that they don’t wear those, of fear of damaging them.

I love the WabiSabi concept in Japan’s culture, celebrating the passage of time, incorporating decay in works of art. I therefore do not advocate for not wearing the tshirts I make (or others you love in your collection). After several washes, they’ll acquire a new look, the memory of wearing one on a special occasion will not subtract from the original art.

The design I make for these Art-tees is different from other digital illustrations I make. I also make the tshirts myself, heat pressing them in a limited edition.
