NEW. Just in time for Christmas. Shepard Fairey t-shirts
Saturday, December 19th, 2009Black 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.
