First drawing print on T- shirt: "Joseph Beuys & Ai Wei Wei" - Exclusive Limited Edition

Dear Steemit fellows,

'Artist portraits - collage - drawings': It's a concept I've been researching, exploring and processing for a long time. But it's the first time my work is being used for t-shirts.
And even though at the beginning I was quite skeptical of the idea (It was originally my girlfriend's idea), the result surprised and convinced me.

There are already so many things in the world, and everyone screams hard to sell his / her product. Everything produced in the sense of consumption and disposable. And when it comes to fashion, we all want something special (to express our personality), but ultimately all wear the same because they're bought at the big retail chains.

Forgive me my negative extinction, but it's just this aversion that gave me a turning point.
Actually, it was my life partner who gave me the insights and motivation to do it differently, with exclusive work, in limited edition.
That way, she also helped me remember why I had to realize this unique piece (and more pieces in the future) ... For the financing of my first book with an overview of my drawings.
And as always she was right, I had to be honest with myself and my wish to go all the way for independent artistry. Then it's necessary to conclude compromises, in order to make a living.

The drawing used for the print is actually a sketch. The first try out drawing in search for the correct composition and later elaborated in an extra large format (165x 130cm).
The final work was purchased by the ecocenter in Ghent and is now permanently in their trading space.
This just aside...

As a guarantee of authenticity, the shirt is labeled and could be the beginning of my own clothing line, with my own designs.
Anyway, this first t-shirt shows me the possibilities.

In addition, the drawing is limited printed on 100% organic cotton with ecological printing ink. Two important aspects that gives the whole concept an 'environ-mentally conscious' and adds a friendly value to the sustainable.
The prints are limited to 20 pieces (in different sizes for woman and men) and we selling them for €35,-.

Thanks for your time, wishing you a nice day with warm regards,
@romaannamoor
