Next by Slawek Kosolka on a dyed ladies’ t-shirt NEXT001
Next by Slawek Kosolka on a small white ladies’ t-shirt, dyed blue. Shirt is by American Apparel. Chest 30″, Height 25″. This is a one of a kind item! It will be reprinted but not in these colors.
Editor’s note: This shirt was printed before the “batch” system started around 2011. I wanted to start individually numbering shirts but couldn’t ascertain the best system for that. So in the beginning shirts were catalogued according to the print. Consequently, this shirt was labelled NEXT001. It wasn’t the first time we printed this art, but it was the first one that was ever catalogued! Shortly after this I switched to the “batch” system, where every time I would make a bunch of shirts at the same time they would get a letter designation, starting with AA and then moving on to AB and so on. Batches starting with the letter A only go to AD: after that I started sewing the pieces myself so switched to a B series. As of this writing we’re up to batch BO (pu dude).

So I’ve had a bit of feedback about the new gui, and while many people like the look of it, some have told me that the Flash galleries tend to load somewhat slowly and it’s frustrating having to click through every shirt. So 2 things I’m going to do: first, have a non-Flash option, and secondly, make a page where you can get a quick look at all the currently available shirts in one place. That should ease the strain for some of you with slower connections/less time to wait.
I’ve got a lot of shirts to put up yet, which I hope to start doing very soon, and there are a ton in production right now. All told, there should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 new shirts by the new year. Just trying to streamline everything at this point: it’s a long process, especially the numbering and cataloging of each shirt.
Well, happy Sunday. News at eleven.
