hst and insomnia tees

It was a day like any other, or so it seemed this Friday morning. The birds were chirping, the sky was blue, i put one foot in front of the other as I sauntered outside for my joint caffeine and nicotine fix. I have a habit of checking the mail, sometimes several times in a day, a dwindling hope that just maybe what lies within is something other than overdue bills or the local newsletter I'm pretty sure nobody reads. Every day, I open the mailbox, with non-committal anticipation, hoping for hope. Perhaps a letter from a friend I haven't seen in years, the stationary smelling sweetly of pine and mud as he recounts his adventures out west. Or maybe a long lost love, penning her regret for our unfortunate end, using a weary sweater she once borrowed as an excuse to get together.

But this Friday, the mailbox that's been met with so much disappointment gave me a different kind of hope, the temporary kind, the monetary kind. $100 courtesy of Dalton McGuinty himself. While this may not seem like much to most people, whilst in dire straits, you take what you can get, and smile ear to ear.

So, with $100 in my pocket, and restlessness on my mind, I hit up value village and picked up some thirftwise supplies. Next stop, Michaels, I need a new fine tip paint brush and some paint markers. I havent used those since high school, back in the hooligan days when I couldn't be charged as an adult, and vandalism took the unknowing place of sexual pursuits. A six pack of Old Milwaukee and a pack of budget smokes and I'm ready for a night of insomnia tees (aka handpainted/screen printed t-shirts, tank tops and bandannas).

I'm posting pictures of a few of the designs from last night, unfortunately I had no model readily available, just me and my viking of an elder brother here, and suffice to say, he wouldn't fit in any of it. He enjoys being behind the camera anyway. Thanks Ry ;)

Message me if you like any of these styles. More coming soon.








(I used cut up cucumbers for the geometric shapes)
