Being that my grandma lives in Chinatown, I often visit her, and see a bit of the social environment. This old woman was sifting through the trash, looking for cans to recycle, hoping to make a few extra dollars. In Chinatown, the elderly often have limited English abilities, and being too old to work, rely on government assistance and making money in the humblest of ways.

In front of a church in SF. . . such sadness in his eyes.
Luckily, I got my hands on a shirt that was purchased by my buddy, Diana. Through my t-shirt line, “Happy Insanity” at http://www.zazzle.com/shaireproductions*, I’ve been able to see my designs morph with different t-shirt styles and colors. “Tons of Luv” is an example of this. Originally designed for a dark background shirt, she chose a kid’s ringer style shirt, giving it an extra flair. It’s pretty fun seeing what others’ preferences and how the designs adapt to different visual treatments.
