i shit and i stink
This is my part of a collaboration with the very talented Ayarti for the challenge over in the T-Shirt Revolution Group.
Ayarti and I discussed some ideas, and eventually decided on the theme of ‘Analogue vs Digital’. To achieve this theme, I submitted some digital photography, and Ayarti submitted some textures made from gauche paint and a sponge. The idea was that we’d share our elements, and go away and see what we could come up with by combining the two.
To tie the two designs together, we incorporated a quote from Eddie Vedder: “I shit and I stink, I’m real join the club.” (Satan’s Bed Vitalogy 1994)
This is Ayarti’s marvellous half :

Also good for a dad carrying a baby, I’d humbly suggest….or someone in the square who’s been feeding the pigeons….or a pirate, with a parrot on his shoulder?
Hells bells, it’s just perfect for any occasion!

Exactly. Anyone can wear this – if they want to be honest about things.

I was tempted by a particularly lovely shade of baby-poo brown, but thought better of it.
