Our Cyclone Relief T-Shirt has been featured on Rumplo.com, HideYourArms.com and TCritic.com!
Below is an excerpt from Rebecca Shostak's excellent interview on Rumplo.com:
"Rumplo: First off, awesome shirt, thanks for making it. Can you tell us a bit about the design of this T-shirt and how it is connected with your goal of supporting relief efforts in Myanmar?
Rebecca Shostak: My original vision for this shirt was to bring attention to several issues related to Myanmar and also the culture that we live in here in the United States and especially California. Many of us never consider the implications of the items we buy and wear, the people behind them, and the resources used to bring them to us. In making this shirt I wanted to bring attention to the fact that the shirt is comprised of cotton and ink, cotton being one of the major exports of Myanmar, and ink, a powerful materialization of words and thoughts. These two raw materials coming together create the shirt, and in buying and wearing the shirt a person is actually making a difference to the lives of the people in Myanmar. I am hoping that the design will not only allow its wearer to realize they can and will make a positive difference, be it ever so small, in the world around them, but also begin to think consciously about where the other products that they wear and use come from and what kind of impact they have on our environment. If we can be more collectively conscious about where things come from and what the implications of buying and wearing them are, I believe we will be headed in the right direction to solve many of the problems we face together today."
