Because of the usual long production time, they will come out later in 2005. As soon as we got the samples, we will post the pictures, fingers crossed. In the meantime, we can explain briefly what these shirts will be about. With the 'Anti' and 'Thesis Antithesis Synthesis' shirts that we designed in 2000, we tried to refer to the idea of dialectics. The Chess Series, our new mini line of shirts, is also based on this idea: the game of chess as the confrontation between two polar opposites, black and white. Another concept we are trying to explore in a lot of our designs for 2K/Gingham is the idea of self-referentiality: t-shirt prints about t-shirt prints. Just as the 'Anti' shirt (2000) was an attempt to make a typical slogan shirt, and the 'John Paul Ringo George' shirt (2001) an attempt to make a typical band shirt, we kind of hoped the chess shirts would function as typical sport shirts. So we made a couple of shirts referring to the game of chess. For example, a shirt which has an actual-size chessboard printed on the front; a shirt that has a complete game (Fisscher vs Spassky, 1972) written out on the back; and a deep blue shirt, that says 'Deep Blue', referring to Deep Blue, the famous IBM chess computer. Silly stuff like that.		If you'd like to see the shirts right now, you might want to check out the website of 2K/Gingham, the label that is responsible for putting out our shirts. But, as we really dislike to show 'flat' images on our own site, we won't post the pictures until we really have the actual shirts.
