GREAT
LAKES SHIRTS
Email me to request a specific fit/color/size, and I'll let you know when the next batch is printed.
These
shirts have nothing but an outline of the Great Lakes on them. No
promo for your friend’s indie band. No
logos. No cities, states, or
any other political boundaries in the design. Just the lakes:
Huron,
Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. No explanation.
When friends from Texas
ask, “What’s that random
inkblot on your
shirt?” you can answer them with a quick geography
lesson. Or whatever
else you want to say. I have my own reasons for wearing the
shirt, you
have yours.
I wanted to make a few
of these shirts for myself and friends. I asked
my graphic designer friend Vinh
to help me make the design from an
aerial photo, and I asked my screenprinting friends Mariah
and Jeremy
to print some on secondhand shirts. When I took a few to
Ypsilanti’s
Shadow Art
Fair, more
people wanted them. So I asked my other
screenprinting friends VGKids
to make some more for the next Fair. Soon I was getting
orders for sizes and
colors I didn’t have, so I decided to make this simple
website with my limited web-design ability.
Since my stock is pretty low right now, it may take you a few tries to
find a fit/color/size you want. Sorry. To request a specific
fit/color/size, email me and I'll let you know when the next batch is printed. Bulk discounts are available for
groups, teams, wedding parties, nonprofits, etc. Email
me for custom
orders.
