Popeye's Fading Nostalgia

2021

Cotton Target Tee

Artists collection

Dad basically lived in this shirt, it's so threadbare I can see my hand through it without having to even hold it up to the light. Strange feeling admiring moles on my hand through a shirt that used to consistently cover my dads torso. The use of a character and the illustrative graphic design helped guide me toward silk screen printing with t-shirts as a medium. I don't know if I would have had the same inclinations to create Tee's without the obsessive collection of t-shirts like dad's.

Bright Dulled Achievement

2021

2012 Marysville to Melbourne Cotton Memoribilia Tee

Artists collection

It feels strange to look at old achievements I accomplished with the man. This shirt was from a long distance endurance triathlon relay. Dad invited me to be a part of his team with a couple of his old friends. How much of this is my achievement? Do I want to consider it an achievement. I don't wear this shirt or the other. But I'm proud of the day, and saddened by no longer having days like this to work towards.

Bright Dulled Succession

2021

2013 Marysville to Melbourne Synthetic Memoriblia Tee

Artists collection

This year we had two teams, we raced. I passed the baton to dad, after racing one of his best friends for 16 kilometres in a kayak. I won, I was so stoked to send dad off in the lead. I felt like I had done him proud.
