Being a Southerner in Los Angeles, the fashion trends certainly took some getting used to. It seemed as though every designer was using t-shirts in order to make a statement or promote a cause. I liked the craze, defining one's self through cotton; however, I was unsuccessful in finding a shirt that seemed to fit who I was. As an Artist and a creator I sought to design my own shirts.
