A few weeks ago, one of my favorite friends/models/
bloggers Bucephalus met me for drinks at
The Cuff, wearing his newly purchased
shirt that I had designed. I wore
a shirt of my own design as well. While there, Buce had someone snap a photo of us together so he could
post it on his blog and see what the reaction might be to the "Negative" shirt.
It was an interesting experiment, with a variety of responses, ranging from confusion ("blood type?" "London underground?") to repulsion ("Sorry to be a boor, but as a poz guy, I find it extremely. offensive.").
My thanks again to Bucephalus for 1) supporting my work (and buying a shirt), 2) putting my design out there, and 3) challenging his own blog fans for a spirited conversation, which is precisely what I'd like the design to provoke.
