Essentials - T-shirts

What are essentials?

Essentials are the accessible side of my work - small pieces that let you bring a bit of the art into everyday life. Essentials are not limited in quantity. They’re designed to travel, to be shared, and to live on laptops, notebooks, bikes, or anywhere else you want to leave a trace of creativity. Even though they’re smaller in scale, each one carries the same attention to detail and quality as my larger works.

Where are the t-shirts produced?

Unless specified differently, my t-shirts are produced through a Print-on-Demand service. This means your shirt is created especially for you - only after you place your order.

What materials are used?

Unless specified differently, the t-shirts are made from 100% organic ring-spun cotton.
For printing, I use Direct-to-Garment (DTG), a process where the design is printed directly onto the fabric using specialized printers. This technique allows for vibrant, detailed, and multi-color designs. The ink soaks into the fibers for a soft, comfortable feel without cracking or stiffness.

Where are the t-shirts shipped from?

Production and fulfillment take place in centers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, and Latvia, with additional partner facilities in Japan, Brazil, and Australia. This distributed setup helps reduce shipping time and cost for customers around the world.

How long does delivery take?

Because each t-shirt is made to order, delivery may take a little longer than standard online purchases. My partners do their best to ship your order as quickly as possible.

Production usually takes 3–7 business days, after which your order is shipped. Typical shipping times are:

Here’s a general overview for reference:

How do I care for my t-shirt?

Washing (DTG-printed t-shirts):

• Turn your t-shirt inside out before washing — this reduces friction and protects the print.
• Use cold water (30°C / 86°F or below) to prevent fading and shrinkage.
• Choose a delicate cycle, ideally around 600 rpm.
• Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or dry cleaning.
• Avoid bleach. If necessary, use non-chlorine bleach only.
  
  

Drying:

• Keep your t-shirt inside out.
• Hang-drying is best; avoid tumble drying when possible.
• If you use a dryer, select a low heat setting to prevent cracking over time.
  
  

Scent or discoloration:

Because DTG printing applies ink directly to the fabric, you might notice a mild vinegar-like scent or a light residue. Both are normal and disappear after the first wash.

Extra precautions:

• Avoid direct sunlight before washing — the pre-treatment can react to UV light.
• If ironing, keep the shirt inside out and avoid the printed area.
• Separate light and dark garments to prevent color bleeding.
