Art in the Age…

Ugh.. don’t you hate winter colds? I have a nasty one right now… I ‘m sitting here in a not-so-fashionable ensemble, sifting through e-mails, site submissions and the like. One site I bookmarked, flagged, and vowed to tell you about some time ago is Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, or AAMR because I’m not going to write that out again. AAMR has a great collection of truly artistic tee-shirts, not to mention fabulous prints. From the company’s site:

We live in an age where it is now possible for art to meet the public more then halfway. One person can view art on their own time and on their own terms. Mechanical Reproduction has successfully freed art from its historically ritualistic functions, allowing what used to be a mass public experience, for instance the viewing of an original painting in an art gallery, to become a private and unique experience, akin to looking at an artwork in reproduction out of a book in the privacy of your own home while eating your breakfast Cheerios. It is possible for good, thought-provoking and insightful art to be everywhere; on a billboard, an article of clothing, or even a pencil. The same piece of art can be several places at once, simultaneously and democratically appealing to several different social and economic classes of people.

AAMR does its part in producing inventive and creative designs that are both thought provoking and beautiful in design. I like the fangs tunic.
