T SHIRT COLLECTORS I NEED YOUR HELP!!

As I collect T-shirts and I have as many as 700 of them, I don't think it's possible that I could wear one T-shirt so many times that it would get damaged. Unfortunately, some of my T-shirts pronts got damaged because they were printed using a cheap DTG method, and even though they weren't washed many times, the print became very bad.

It became a sticky

Do you have any method or solution to avoid this, to prevent the print from further damaging?

Let me know

How many times have I seen comments like this: capitalism is evil. It's all capitalism's fault. Art is for everyone. What if it turned out that it was capitalism that created the idea that art is for everyone in order to sell it for as much as possible? Ever since art became a product, it has been treated like the sale of any other product. Emotions are manipulated, and so on. Unfortunately, every inflation brings devaluation and we will experience this devaluation soon. We have already experienced devaluation of quality in art.

Art is not for everyone!
I mean art doesn't discriminate.
But did you do anything to being capable to read it?

We live in a time when everyone supposedly has a passion, using the word, but few truly understand its meaning. So, are we truly passionate? For example, everyone listens to music, but does that automatically mean it's our passion? Perhaps it's just an interest. And here I'd like to focus on another dilemma: can passion serve a professional purpose? Certainly, in a small percentage, it can. However, in most cases, it's actually a marketing promise intended to lure us into a comfortable life and hypocritical visions of a pleasant life that would make it more pleasant. The word passion comes from Greek and Latin and means suffering. Now the question is, are you willing to sacrifice your life to suffer? I don't think so. You may enjoy what you do, but that doesn't mean it's passion. How many times have I heard people in the creative industry become bored with their work? I say this especially about photographers who deal with wedding photography on a daily basis, which brings them nothing but income, not necessarily pleasure. The answer is simple: What do you do with your time after work? Everyone has some time. You can live a very average life, watching TV, Netflix, listening to Tru Crimes, or listening to podcasts because everyone does it. You can also grab a camera and take photos at a higher level than wedding photography, but it's up to you whether you want to pursue just interests, hobbies, or perhaps you want to take your passion to the next level. Or maybe you want to call your interests, at the lowest level, a passion because it's more convenient.

Haida
Very specific style of tattoos delivered from Haida art which is a highly distinctive and sophisticated tradition originating from the Haida Nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast, primarily based on Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands).

For me personally it was a first form of graphic tattoo mainly popular in the 90s.

Unfortunately disappeared but i guess it will comeback at some point as everything.

Do you know what HAIDA tattoo is?

I understand the progress of civilization, the emergence of new tools and new forms of expression. But the recent trend of public statements on social media that glorify our own position is rather vain. And of course, each of us is vain in some way, but everything can be worked on. Personally, I can't imagine trusting someone who speaks about themselves in such a powerful way: "I'm a great artist, art is my passion, I made a beautiful tattoo, I made a great tattoo." All of this sounds to me like an advertisement for a product the seller wants to forcefully sell you. Unfortunately, the awareness of those selling it often doesn't go beyond the perspective of the average consumer. Referring to the Dunning Krugger effect, self-enhancement bias, or better-than-average, we often create or understand a much higher level or category than the one we represent.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where individuals with low ability or limited knowledge in a specific area greatly overestimate their own competence. Because they lack the very skills required to perform well, these individuals also lack the self-awareness needed to recognize their own mistakes. As a result, they remain confidently unaware of their own incompetence.

Make Art Intellectual Again.

The Weight of Emotions in Purchasing Behavior.
According to Harvard Professor Gerald Zaltman, 95% of purchasing decisions happen subconsciously, meaning they are driven by emotions, not logic. Every book on the basics of marketing teaches that emotions, not the product itself, are what counts.

Ever since art became a product and entered the mainstream market, it has often been associated with emotions.

Why?
Precisely to manipulate the average consumer, who is unable to evaluate their purchases, who has even bought into the idea that art is for everyone.

Thus, art does not discriminate, so it is for everyone. But is everyone willing to recognize themselves in art? Certainly not if it is limited to emotions.
