home hipster shirts

I got to reading Pre-Shrunk, a blog of some import, while I was in Nepal.

I used to be into hipster irony t-shirts.

I'm still into the idea of making these two shirts. The idea of an ecotourist wearing an olive-drab shirt that says ecotourist is incredibly funny to me. Even if someone is performing ecotourist, it seems like a label that would never be self-applied on a shirt, as is done in the genre of 'security' or 'event staff' shirts.


I loved Hong Kong.


I found a few resources on the internet about silk-screening at home. How hard could it be if small-time traveling rock bands do it themselves? Here are the links.
