The “Back in Black 2” T-Shirt Exhibit showcases original, one-color t-shirt designs by 17 of the best digital illustrators and designers in the US and Europe (who are behind our favorite t-shirts from popular apparel companies, bands and record labels).
Created in 2008, the purpose of this show is to highlight the artwork of the uncelebrated designers whose art you’ve probably been collecting in your closet for years, as well as to establish the t-shirt as a new medium for fine art.

WORDS FROM THE HERO CONTINUED.....
As said, I wanted explain my run in w/ the ever-so-dope PALEHORSE.
It was spring of 2008 and I was working for this Marketed company in South-Tampa which had me in A Suit and Tie, Working on commission only Selling Verizon and auditing bills and ish.... I would go door 2 door (buisiness 2 Buisiness only) and get them cheaper rates (which was cool because I was actually helping people instad of screwing em like most sales jobs)... During my 2nd week of training I ended up in Downtown St. Pete which was a ghost town 2 be honest but quite relaxing and beautiful in its design.... After A week and A half of Painful let downs and no sales I walked into the office / Design Studio of PALE HORSE... and no exaggeration, my heart dropped and I got goosebumps and butterflies.... The design and layout of the office was soooo Amazing and it was like a fantasy..... Since before I can remember I always had A dream of what I would want my career and ideal office to be and that day I walked into A replica of my dreams.....
I spoke w/ Chris, awed over the amazing artwork on the walls, he did end up letting me fix his bill (which I pray worked out for the best in the long run) and I left never to step foot back in there again....tho I did leave with a handfull of palehorse Stickers and since then I have applied to every graphic design office on monster/career builder from miami to Atlanta with no luck...... tho my graphic design skills arent the best, if I had the right oppertuniee and mentor I could be amazing......
well Enough of that I just thought it was cool that a year later after walking into that building, he is the mind behind this event I am posting about..... I hope to see you all there.
Peace.
