I’ve been sleeping on the e-mail I got from Colus for way too long, which is unfair on both them and you because they’ve got some cool shirts. The designer (who I think is actually called Colus, is that a name?) hails from South Africa but now resides in San Diego, and I think that you can see an ever so slight hint of stereotypically African style in the designs because of that. They’re all black & white (you’ll find the rest in the gallery), which certainly goes a long way to making this first release look like a cohesive collection. I was going to say “there’s a lot of symbolism” like a hungover philosophy student trying to BS through a presentation, but if you want to get a bit deeper “Colus explores themes from morality to mortality with bold, contrast rich works with a symbolic tone leaving questions unanswered.” Tees are all $30 a pop and you can pick them up at ColusHavenga.com

I say going ‘old school’ because A Year of Tees is making a comeback, but isn’t following the same format as last year (adding a new t-shirt design every day). In reality, the comeback is more of a reissue, all of last year’s designs are being made available again after popular demand.
I’m not sure if this means that the store is going to be kept open indefinitely, but it’s certainly welcome to have all those designs available again, and I’m glad that Keith’s project is gaining more interest even though he’s ‘finished’ with it.
There’s something really enjoyable about the bluntness and ambiguity of this shirt, it is what it is, and I have no idea what that is. Also, it reminds me of hat-fan Judah Friedlander.
