NEW. Just in time for Christmas. Shepard Fairey t-shirts

shames — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:45:02 +0000

Black American Apparel L.E.A.D Uganda T-shirt with Shepard Fairey’s Blanket image on it.

This t-shirt is the same used by Obey Clothing. The image is put on using an environmentally friendly, Discharge Printing process. Discharge printing embeds the inks into the shirt. It is water-based, as opposed to silk screening, which uses plastisol inks. Art Press, who printed the shirts uses all soy-based chemicals.

The shirt is soft because the inks are embedded into the shirt (as opposed to being on top of it). Each garment is unique. Colors may vary slightly due to the dyes in the shirt.

Buy them at our on-line store. http://www.leaduganda.org/shop/clothes/tshirts/lead-tshirt-men.html?options=cart

L.E.A.D Uganda in the New York Times

shames — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:08:31 +0000

The New York Times ran a photo of mine of 13-year-old Victorious who died of AIDS last Sunday. Victorious was a wonderful girl who was one of the reasons I started L.E.A.D Uganda. She was the sister of Moses Kusasira a L.E.A.D Uganda student.
