Day 47



FREESTYLE SOUNDZ TECHTRONIC!

Woo! Yeah!

FREESTYLE SOUNDZ TECHTRONIC!

Awesome! Alright!

What does it mean? Who knows?
Who cares!?
Just look at all that ambiguous oppidan music based rhetoric!

There are haphazard blue slashes of graffiti that have dripped and run excessively across the entire spread, making the kind of mess that only a rebellious troublemaker could enjoy.
There are jaunty arrows that point upwards, suggesting a revolt rising or an ambition to ‘make it to the top’ using any means possible, which may include cutting in line and pushing people a bit.
There are two immensely poor renditions of a keyboard and a set of headphones, both achieved using Illustrator’s one-click 'make-any-photograph-a-ropey-Banksy-style-stencil' tool. That’s a second graffiti reference by the way so I’ve effectively just doubled my intimidation factor on the corner outside the local McDonalds.
It also has purposefully darker stitching around the hem and sleeves, so you know I’m not looking to play by society’s rulebook.
It’s a V-neck which allows me to flash you a hint of my chest hair, whether you know me or not, and if you think the design has been printed conventionally in the centre of the tee, think again.

Put simply, this T-shirt out-urbans you and your whole crew.

And I bought it at Primark.

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
