POP Member Showcase | 8 T-Shirts

Who doesn’t love a good printed tee that supports unique work from small businesses and makers? That’s why we’ve checked out some awesome printed tee projects from our talented community. From charity fundraisers, to gifts for loved-ones, our members have turned their designs into wearable art for a range of causes. Take a look below:

Em Jaxon: Noodle Nips Tee A few years ago, a friend of Em Jaxon gifted her some screens, and they sat doing nothing for a while. She tells us; “I spoke to another friend who runs a screen printing studio who agreed to do all of the exposure process for me so I could use my DIYAF setup at home.”  This wibbly wobbly nipply cow is the result!

Mikhail Lychkovskiy: Censorship Censorship is a project run by Typosters x Dinamo x Everpress aimed at supporting freedom of speech and raising funds for Index on Censorship. Mikhail Lychkovskiy was among invited designers to make his own T-Shirt design which could also be used as a poster. “Censorship shackles like handcuffs so I used them as a graphic metaphor,” says the designer.

Liam Ashley Clark: TBA “I’ve always loved t-shirts as a medium for putting work into the world,” says artist Liam Ashley Clark. He continues; “As a fine artist they offer a way to reach an audience that may not necessarily be those who go to traditional white wall galleries.” Recently, Liam designed a shirt for the art collective he is part of, TBA. The TBA Collective was formed in Norwich, and for the past five years have been organising group shows in various venues across the city. Having released a couple of shirts at past events, the collective wanted to make a new one for their five year anniversary show. One evening, Liam produced a quick doodle of a joke shirt, inspired by the drop-shipping adverts with hoodies featuring way too much text. He sent this drawing to their group chat and everyone suggested that this should be the actual design. The final shirt was made in collaboration with two other collective members, with Liam’s drawing on the front, a gig-style list of their past events on the back designed by Rob Terrestrial, and screen printed by Chris Richford.

Filippos Fragkogiannis: Those FearsAthens-based graphic designer Filippos Fragkogiannis, known for his frequent and thoughtful exploration of symbols and semiotics in his posters, has recently unveiled a purely typographic T-shirt. For the next 30 days the limited-edition Those Fears T-shirt is available on Everpress. This white tee, featuring a classic round neckline, is made from 100% soft organic cotton. The design prominently displays the words Those Fears alongside a ship, the sun, and the moon. It showcases Alexandre Créquer’s Pouler typeface and characters from Hoefler Text Ornaments, all printed in black.

Sofya Volfkovich: Shirt for Benia Sofya Volfkovich made this one-of-kind t-shirt for her nephew’s 5th birthday. She tells us; “I had to first figure what he likes – his mom said he likes robots and to fix stuff. He is also adorable, so it must me an adorable robot who fixes things.” Sofya then asked an image generating AI to help her with graphics, a little photoshop magic, some love and good wishes, and an engineer-robot Benjamin was formed.

Stuart Alden: CommuniTee-ShirtsStuart Alden earns a living screen printing posters for the music industry, and for years created/donated posters to give away at social protests/marches. After George Floyd was killed in 2020, Stuart created free T-shirt events for the community so they could also feel involved and show their support. He has continued to run these events and has helped people screen print thousands of shirts for voting, community, and world issues. Stuart comments; “I always donate the printing and when possible I donate the shirts. One project even raised $14,500 USD for abortion rights.”

Federico Blu di Prussia: ANPI Vicenza Illustrated T-Shirts Over the years, in addition to developing graphics and relief prints, Federico Blu di Prussia has also had the opportunity to create illustrations for events using other impression techniques. He has collaborated with numerous entities, study centres, and research places, using printing techniques not as a priori choices, but as expressive means to convey the message in the most genuine and similar way with respect to the topic. For the 80th anniversary of the fall of fascism, on the occasion of the anti-fascist pasta festival on 25 July, Federico created an illustration dedicated to Vicenza and its commitment to the struggle for Liberation. The graphics were screen-printed by Serimab Vicenza on paper, t-shirts, and shoppers in two colour versions to pay homage to the commitment of many young people and renew the defence of rights.
