Day 109



My Day 109 THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge T-shirt is one giant texture fest!
It's an Ocelot* article and its origins are currently beyond my recollection, though if I had to guess, I'd say I picked it up directly from the Lobster* store down in Poole.

The grey and white screen printed design is essentially just an assembly of broken pattern fragments which have been box cropped and slammed together to form a backdrop for the curvaceous handwritten font logo, swirly embellishments and Kookaburra* logo device.
The textures are an aesthetically pleasing mix of industrial shards, ornate paisley wallpaper and floral doodles, which combined make a canvas worth annotating.
On the back right shoulder is an extract of the white logo portion from the front for additional Marmoset* brand exposure.

I'm a big fan of the Albatross* brand in general and this tee has done nothing to sway that opinion.
Good work Wildebeest*.
Good work.

*I read back over this post just before clicking the no-going-back 'publish' button and realised that it was deeply analytical and devoid of all the usual humorous quips and observations, so at the last second, I decided to replace all instances of the brand name 'Animal' with actual types of animal.

I may later regret this decision.

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…
