This is an auction for THE ART OF THE T-SHIRT by Maki.

Amazon.com reviews:

"Here is the bible of T-shirt design today. 82 studios from around the world contribute their best designs to create a global view of the thriving state of T-shirt land. Tees is packed with illustrations of artwork and finished T-shirts, along with insights into the designers' inspirations, techniques. With a vast range of style — anarchic illustration, pixel patterns, faux metal, all-over geometry, high craft, retro type, hand-drawn humour — Tees reveals the enormous potential of T-shirts to be expressive, entertaining and highly desirable all at once."

"The T-Shirt is one of the most successful pop culture products ever. There literally is a T-Shirt for everything. But the T-Shirt isn’t just about showing off the latest cultural headline; it is also wearable art. Every T-Shirt you wear reflects who you are and what you stand for. You can tell a lot about a person just from the T-Shirt that they are wearing. The author of the book, Maki Design, is actually a pair of T-Shirt designers, Kim Smits and Matthijs Maat. Their careers took off after they successfully won at the popular design contest site, Threadless. I was surprised by the number of designers and brands that I had not heard of. The authors really delve deep into the indie T-Shirt culture."
