24. Art of the Band T-shirt

Post by higherlimits »

24. How did your book “The Art of the Band T-Shirt” come about?

My husband and I had the idea in early 2006. A Japanese tour had been postponed so I found myself with some unexpected downtime. I started working on the book straight away. People like Bill from Tannis Root and BT from Love Police were super helpful. Dave Kaplan put me in touch with a literary agent who gave me some good advice on how to put together a proposal. Then I just started telling anyone who would listen. Eventually, someone at Simon and Schuster heard about our idea. We spent the summer in New York photographing every t-shirt we could get our hands on.
