\"\"<\/a>
\nthese T-SHIRTS were the very<\/em> first . . . under the radar . . . FOR SALE listing on artlovers. under the IF I HAD $200<\/a><\/strong> – column, natch . . .
\nWIGGS saw the posting first & put his $$ down. LIKE they say: the early bird gets the worm.
\nsee: the original T-SHIRT post \/IF I HAD $200<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe t-shirts were produced by me.
\nthey are my first limited edition production, so far: NANCY SMITH IMPRINT: 01.
\nyeah, that’s right: be looking for more.
\nthey are a numbered limited edition of 12 – and no more, I ain’t DAMIEN HIRST – and maybe I shouldn’t be so proud of that – coz while he be laughing all the way to the ‘dot’ bank – I’m thinking: food stamps ? just like 3\/4 of the rest – of this sorry town.<\/p>\n

anyways . . . they are also noteworthy because . . .
\nthey were custom silkscreened – by the late great MARK ENGER, himself – of EXPLODING SKY WORLDWIDE. <\/p>\n

they were produced in JULY 2003 – while Alfredo was still in prison – for that little BASQUIAT CAPER.<\/p>\n

ALFREDO smuggled out this pencil drawing on ruled notebook paper – of himself on food strike – to me, through the regular mail. one of the reasons he went on hunger strike – was because they would not let him do any art – and it made him crazy<\/em>. . . not to mention deeply in-bred authority issues . . . one of the most common denominators – of the whole damn crew. <\/p>\n

but, JOSH called it: WE LIVE IN PUBLIC. PSEUDO. JUPITER COMMUNICATIONS, though not in that order . . . think about it.<\/p>\n

. . . FACEBOOK is becoming more and more evil – every day. more real life hardcore stalking action, or what. soon gonna be just as wild, as we were. the true grit WE LIVE IN PUBLIC – forget the preppy stuff – as we speak. you can now ‘follow’ people like on twitter – by ‘subscription’ i.e. without their permission.
\nyou can already tag photos – without permission . . . sounds just like 24\/7 WE LIVE IN PUBLIC surveillance – to me. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nnice graphite ink job – or what ?
\nMark Enger did beautiful work – he was a master silkscreener. the best. <\/p>\n

these last 2 t-shirts – were actually additionally signed and dated by Alfredo – himself, last summer JUNE 21, 2011 – at Josh’s ex-loft in Williamsburg.<\/p>\n
