In 2008, I did not get around to stocking up on new t-shirts on my site.
Sorry to those who emailed threatening violence in dire need of new clothing. For you, I have a back-up plan, as well as a means to feel good about it.
Patagonia(the company, not the mountain region) has a great program highlighting artists who care about the environment and making a statement.
Here are shirts from 08 available (presently)on their site. Those that are sold out are not shown
Also, here is a cool video they did while hosting a group of their designers at their Santa Monica retail store last spring.
I’m the tired looking one at the end. In the film, I talk about the idea of both artist and t-shirt wearer being unified in their voice.
With a portion of the proceeds from the shirt sales going to environmental agencies, it’s a voice that carries on(details are printed inside each shirt as well as their website).
This winter I was also involved in a t-shirt series raising funds for Living Water International which builds clean water wells in world regions that have none. Keep an eye out for those to be available here soon as well for even more opportunities to wear your heart on your sleeve.
