TBA 2022

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.

We did it guerilla style. Didn’t ask for permission, just pulled up next to the entrance and popped the trunk.

We made a sign too. Think that helped.

To our surprise, the Board of Directors came out and she decided to purchase a handful for her hard working staff. One of whom was my ex (that I was trying to avoid).
