Build a Well with Tshirts?

Welldone_vis_kids

As graduates fresh out of college, the members of wellDone traveled to Africa during the Summer of 2005, during which they observed the critical need for safe drinking water in communities throughout rural Ghana. Wanting to make a difference they launched WellDone with one goal: funding, constructing, and the long-term managing of six wells in villages throughout rural Ghana. See the chart below for the costs associated with the drilling of a single community well.

Welldone_vis_cost

That number is actually less costly than the installation of just one industrial sized cappuchino machine you normally see at many cafes like Starbucks. Not a very difficult number to reach through the sale of a single tshirt design. Your purchase of one tee is quite literally one step toward the reaching of that goal. Get one now for men or for women.

History Became Myth Print Set

Icons became tshirts, tshirts became popular and things that should have been printed were not.

Water By Numbers: Please Support this Cause

Welldone_youhires

Just got some model images for the charity tee we are selling to benefit the cause for clean water access in the developing world. We also just got some new language in from the copywriter and so, even though it is similar to what we already posted??? please read it again and (if you can) make a purchase in mens styles or for women. This is a 100% non-profit venture. 

Welldone_leohires

The ChopShop has teamed up with WellDone to provide clean water to those throughout the developing world who need it most ??? one awesome t-shirt at a time. The designers at Chop Shop worked closely with the WellDone team to highlight the various facets of the global water crisis through the visualization of 27 striking water statistics. The icons paint a picture that remind us that we must both conserve earth???s most precious resource, while working to improve clean water access to those most in need. Never has looking this good, done so much good.

WellDone was launched in 2007 by a group of young professionals, committed to utilizing their collective talents to help provide safe water to communities in need. Since its inception, WellDone has seen through the the implementation of six clean water projects throughout rural Ghana, and is currently expanding efforts throughout Africa and beyond. To learn more, please visit welldone.org

Special thanks goes to Quist Industries for donating all the printing. Quist does a large amount of Chop Shop???s printing and is always top notch. They are like the Apple Computers of tshirt screen printing. Check out their site at quistindustries.com, which also happens to be a The Chopping Block production.

Rock Icon Singles Now as 5″x7″ Prints

The one detriment to loading up one design with 30 musicians is what happens when someone on the tee is an act that some people might hate? There are also those who just like one band so far and above all others that the rest become merely a distraction.

Product_image

We recently printed up a bunch of ???singles??? for a local exhibit in Beacon, NY and people immediately gravitated to the small 5×7 single prints specially produced for the exhibit. So we are posting the same items from the show in our new Glic??e 5×7 Prints section on chopshopstore.com. Each print comes with an appropriate mini-quote and are all printed on Moab Rag Bright white, weight is 190 GSM.

Robot Rock, Rocks on a Tee or as a Print

It so hard for Chop Shop to resist pop-culture references. Our best received designs thus far have been our “weRobot” and “rockStar” tees which contain about 80+ pop-icon references just between the two. So when we came across this image by Richard Miske on flickr, it was like the gods sending us a signal.

Robotrock_main

Naturally, if robots ruled the world in 1979 instead of 2020… we believe they still would have been inclined to grab the nearest axe and start smashing. You can get the tshirt now from chopshopstore so that when the robot overlords look you over they will know who’s side you are on. Listen as your new robotic overlord speaks, “Male humans go here and female humans go here” or secure your 2-dimensional art version here.

Elvis Presley (self titled) The Clash “London Calling”

What makes this design even more referential than usual is that it pays homage to an album cover that pays homage to yet another album cover. Elvis’ debut album cover is seen above left and The Clash’s epic “London Calling” is to the right. The historic nature of both these records and the fact that there is this visual game shared between the two has led many others to follow the same example hoping just a bit of Elvis and The Clash might rub off on them. Considering some of the titles below… it seems like it just may work.

El Vez’s “El Vez Calling” Tom Waits’ “Rain Dogs” Tony Hawk’s “American Wasteland” Sountrack K.D. Lang’s “Reintarnation”

Now to get back to shameless self-promotion. We would be fools to not ask you to join our Chop Shop newsletter. Coupon codes and free tees are given out willfully and with reckless abandon.
