"Tees" shows the work of 80 of the most creative t-shirt designers around the world. The book asks revealing questions of the creators, including what their inspirations are, whether they wear their own designs, the printing techniques they use, how they work and more, to reveal a complete picture of their approach to t-shirt making. Designs are included from t-shirt studios that exclusively make t-shirts and from established designers who also produce t-shirts as a sideline. Most sell their shirts online and in-store while a few create more experimental work just for personal use. Contact details for purchases are given. With photographs of the designers wearing their own work, numerous artworks, and many different styles and themes, "Tees" reflects what is going on in t-shirt land today. A special limited edition is also available with a t-shirt featuring a unique collage of designs provided by artists in the book. Large - 9781856696395. Small - 9781856696388.
