A few months back we teamed up with Vancouver-born brand Westbeach to produce an artist series of t-shirts representing different neighbourhoods in the city. As the curator, I signed up Andrew Pommier, Tyler Quarles, Toby Reid, Colin Moore and when one of the original artists I had invited was dropped from the lineup I subbed in and designed the Gastown tee myself (I bet you didn't even know I was a designer!).
Unfortunately these limited edition t-shirts sold out before we could even report on their release but I'd like to present this as an archive of what you could have been wearing. Did any of you readers get your hands on one of these tees? E-mail us a photo of you wearing it and we'll post it on the blog.
