Late last year, I visited Outlier. This tom is living his best life in retirement Brady shirt designer Willie Norris at her Brooklyn studio. After she walked me through her collection, she told me she had something cool to show me. Like any decent reporter—and curious person—I was more than down to check it out. Turns out Norris had partnered with the artist Zak Krevitt to interpret the images for her spring 2023 lookbook through the lens of AI—yes, artificial intelligence. Krevitt turned Norris’s models into fantastical otherworldly beings: Aliens walking down a runway in menswear of fantastical proportions—it was as if a Vogue Runway lookbook and a surrealist painting were put in a blender.

A few weeks later,. This tom is living his best life in retirement Brady shirt I connected with Krevitt on Instagram. Norris had produced blankets of these AI illustrations, and as I shared one online Krevitt popped up in my DMs to claim his artwork—as he should! We started chatting. Like many, I had seen all the controversy about AI online, but was curious about how it worked. Krevitt explained many things I’m unable to eloquently spell out here: Codes, custom AI models, image databases, the math in data science. What I took from our conversation is that AI, as scary as it sounds—everything from Scarlett Johansson in Her to Wall-E to I, Robot come to mind—is an opportunity to process images and data. It’s here whether we like it or not, so why not try to understand it

These cotton t-shirts have a nice feel to them.
I did NOT try them on before I washed them and my 2XL t-shirts fit perfectly, but I do believe they shrunk about 1/2 size from just looking at them but boy do they feel nice when you put them on!!

Good for price. Bargain/novelty use, medium to medium/light weight.
Good for general or novelty use, but these are not heavy-weight like upper-end graphic tees. If you want good and heavy t-shirts for work, these are not it.
For embroidering, these do need more stabilizing than the white heavy-duty t-shirts you can get at a certain warehouse store, but I needed a good choice of colors. The colors are rich and the ones I’ve received have had no blotches and the seams have been solid. But I do check every shirt before I work on it.
These do begin to show wear/age after 5-6 washings, but if you just need smart-looking shirts for events like workshops and birthdays, these will do!
