I’ve been doing CMYK prints on t-shirts the past couple of months. I like how they’ve been coming out. I notice that just putting the art on the shirt doesn’t make it a good shirt. The shift from collage to t-shirt require a shift in perspective because the context is different. Design skills come into play more. Sometimes I struggle with the balance. Often I work things out while I’m making something. With printing with making clothes it’s all in the planning. Most times you work it all out before production starts.

The idea of a few simple tools comes from the Julia Cameron book, “The Artists Way”.

The phrase is an affirmation that says “With a few simple Tools my creativity will flourish”. In the original collage I tied this idea to pro skateboarding. I think it’s dope how skateboarding can take someone across the world. I think once anyone finds something they enjoy or their gift it can take them to beneficial spaces.
