Day 107



Attending school.
Following religion.
Going to work.
Participating in a yoga class.
Performing in your pre-school nativity play.
Queuing for stuff.

These are all scenarios in which your actions are governed to a certain extent by someone else's authority.
For day 107 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge I am wearing a somewhat controversial T-shirt that pretty much advises you disregard that school of thought and challenge authority via the slogan "Only sheep need a shepherd, live free."

Maybe bunk off for a day?
Maybe blaspheme a bit?
Maybe call in sick?
Maybe bend a different way or pick up your mat and sling it?
Maybe stray from the script?
Maybe stand outside of the assumed queue line parameters, refuse to step forward, or just rush to the front?
It's really up to you.

This is a debut donation from Duncan, the primary artist at Ban T-shirts UK, and is just one of the many examples of tees on offer conscious of social and global plight, conveyed in a humorous way.

Ban T-shirts UK print predominantly on fair-trade organically produced cotton, are proud to be sweatshop free, and demand no charge for domestic shipping. As you can see, they clearly don't play by anyone's rules but their own.

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…
