Update: The shirts are in! Get yours for $25.
The universal reaction when we received Sean Shinnock’s finished entry in our 2019 artist program was: “I want this on a shirt.” It’s one of my personal favorite pieces, and the play of gloss and matte black is especially striking in person.
So when I finally had enough mental bandwidth to consider a shirt collaboration, this was the immediate first choice. While the artwork doesn’t have a formal title, we’ve been calling it The Skullbaby around the shop. Sean thinks it’s cool.
The Project
A limited run of black t-shirts with a remixed-for-shirts version of Sean’s design. Available March 2023 for $25.
The Artist
The Donation Recipient
We’ll be donating $1 for every shirt sold to Hard Quirk, a local OCD advocacy nonprofit. I gave Sean the choice of donation recipient, and I was so pleased to be introduced to Hard Quirk as a result. “Pulling from their own lived experiences, their connections in the community, creativity, ambition, compassion, and resources, Hard Quirk is truly making a difference in many people’s lives,” says Sean. “Their mission to eradicate stigma, educate others and expand the representation of diverse symptom presentations, has truly and deeply influenced me.” Check out their website for more info, events, and zoom support groups.
The Printer
I like to keep our business money recirculating into other local businesses as much as possible. This project will be carried out by Telescreen Printing in Allston. (Full disclosure: Telescreen’s Matthew has worked with us as a Float Operator.)
How To Get Yours
Ask us next time you come to float! They’re $25 plus tax.
