paramore just dropped a bunch of new merch and it’s super sick. just reminded me of how much i love band merch. genuinely half of my clothes are merch in some way. i have a problem buying tshirts. give me a sticker give me a tshirt give me a lighter give me a zine. ESPECIALLY IF ITS DIY!!! let me buy your merch and support your art 🫶 i love styling merch too it’s so fun.
as creative who normally remains in the digital realm, making a shirt is not only a special little project for you to work on based off a band or singer you know, but it’s also a great keepsake in the off chance their actual merch stand is a blood bath! and you get to look super cool! and wear your art!
plus you can do things like put your own boobs on a shirt! made this based off of the song sinner by the last dinner party (seeing them in toronto at the end of the month hehe)
This is not a post saying you shouldn’t buy band merch. Not at all! This is a big support for bands.
This is more a rec for giving a new life to old or new shirts. With some fabric paint (you can get pens also) you can get really creative. This one I’ve done for the album Bright Flight from Silver Jews (Tennessee lyrics on the back).
One artist I inspire myself a lot is Katie from @sandw1tchshop (instagram)
give me your fanny packs, your skate decks, your kites, your lighters, your rolling trays, your tech decks, your hockey sweaters, your candles
im done wearing tshirts gimme some weird shit with your band name on it
