About the shirt:

You may recognize this image from our but, also Poster Edition, the image is of each founding artist holding a symbolic item from our very beginnings in February, 2021. The plant is our very first for the space, and the hammer was used to build the additions to our pop up space at 3015 Georgia Ave NW.

That is all to say, it is not only a cool shirt, but meaningful, and symbolic of this collaborative team, and what it took to get us here. We think you’ll look really good in it.

About the Print:

In this inaugural but, also poster we assemble for you a selection of symbols and metaphors. The hammer: for the labor that is required to build something better, and the tools we have to do that work. The plant: not only emblematic of the founders’ mental health regimen, but a symbol of growth, and a seedling of a new business that has nowhere to go but up (or down, unclear, we accept donations). In the background you will notice our staple floor samplings that hang in our Georgia Ave storefront space. Lastly and importantly, you see two hands in this image. Those are our hands, demonstrating one small iteration of our collaborative efforts that make. this. thing. happen!

but, also... thrift tee line: edition 1

Foraged from the local Goodwill, these shirts are previously loved and newly branded by yours truly. Our philosophy is this: there are so many shirts in the world, all requiring excessive amounts of energy, waste of materials and pollution to produce. When there are second hand distributors doing the work of recycling and collection we see no need to add to that footprint for every sick shirt we want to share with you. This marks the beginning of the but, also thrift tee line.

As such, these sizes are random, brands: inconsistent, but we think there just may be something for everyone. We invite you to come by the space to check out the sizing in person if you have any concerns. And perhaps, many years down the line, when you feel their time with you has ended, feel free to return them from whence they came.

*gender is a construct and therefore these shirts are not gender specific.

but, also... hands

Fresh out of their debut in Bag Show: A Tote Bag Invitational, these hands are but, also artifacts. Cast with our hands of our hands. In varying stages of decay, these hands are affixed with hardware making them durable and ready to hold your plants, your lights, your coat, your hand. An exploration in the intersections between fine art, craft and function, the hands carry the conceptual substance of an art object and are ready to fulfill their destiny, “to carry,” in your home. We also think these creepy lil finger hooks make for ideal interior accents. Available in wall or ceiling mounted hardware as pictured.
