Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Create don't generate. Two words that draw a line, and the printmaking teacher in the tee makes every student carve a linoleum block by hand in week one before anyone is allowed to say the word tool, because the point of the class is what a hand learns. A stance for everyone who believes art starts with a person and not a prompt box. This tee is the stance.

Wear it to the print studio, the gallery opening, the craft fair, the art school critique, and the family dinner where a relative asks why you did not just generate it. It is a strong gift for a printmaking teacher, an illustrator, a first-year art student, and the friend who still carves the block.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three words that read across a print studio on carving day. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the carve-the-block entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

How does this relate to support human artists? Cousins. That one is aimed at the buyer; this one is aimed at the maker, two words, one instruction.

Would a print studio order these for the students? Studios do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black and Ivory. Bay for the fair.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
