About

It started with a pile of t-shirts that I hadn't worn in a while. They were just sitting there collecting dust and taking up space. I thought how can I pass these awesome tees on to the next person and keep them out of our land fills? So instead of grabbing a trash bag I grabbed my scissors and started cutting. And after a lot of trial and error (RIP really cool band tees I screwed up) I found a way to make these cool tees even cooler.

Artist Statement

I take forgotten men's T-shirts collecting dust in drawers and thrift bins—and give them a second life. 100% cotton that was once worn proudly, now headed for waste. Too much ends up buried instead of breathing again. I refuse to add to that mess. By upcycling these existing t-shirts, I'm keeping perfectly good fabric out of landfills, reducing the demand for new cotton (and all the water, pesticides, and energy that go with it), and proving that sustainability doesn't have to mean boring or basic, just clever reuse, a little creativity, and a lot less trash. To me it's my small rebellion against throwaway culture. Buy less new, wear more old, and look damn good doing it. Because the planet's got enough problems—your wardrobe doesn't need to be one of them
