What happens with the profits?

The products on sale here bear various motifs derived from my art projects and all profits made from their sale are used to fund further art practice. The intention is to develop a pot of funds that can be used for responsive projects without having to go through lengthy grant/sponsorship application processes. There is more information in this post.

The T-shirt sizes seem really small, what’s going on?

The sizes given are a measurement across the width of the chest of the shirt rather than a measurement around the chest. Divide your chest size by 2 and you’ll be about right…

Why are the delivery times for the T-shirts so long?

It takes about a week for the payments to clear through PayPal and then the order is sent to Germany for printing. I know it seems a bit convoluted, but the print-on-demand approach removes the need to store a stockpile of merchandise.
