I DIDN’T GET LAID AT TBA 2022 - T-shirt

TBA is Portland’s one and only big art event. It’s sort of a scene. It’s the place you go hoping you’ll meet the sexy, arty, love of your life while simultaneously avoiding your ex.

Given the weighted nature of the event, and the inevitable suffocating pressure it creates to get laid and be cool, I made these bootleg TBA t-shirts to sell out of my trunk for the closing party.

The Board of Directors came out and purchased a handful for her hard working staff. One of whom was my ex (that I was trying to avoid).

“Portland’s (prestigious and intrinsically sexy) Time Based Arts Festival was hijacked by a rogue group of INCELs, seeking comraderie through bootleg t-shirts sold from a trunk.” - The New York Times*
