Denis Marsili, an artist from Argentina, has a pretty cool story on how he started designing t-shirts. Granted, most artists do have a great story! That being said, let’s get into Denis’ story!

In his own words:

I’m Denis, AKA Ditch the Kitsch (30 – Argentina)

I’m a self-taught artist – photographer’s son raised in a rural area between photography books and camera manuals, but I only got the chance to put my hands on a camera when I was 16 and could afford buying a cheap one that only worked for two months…after that my passion remained practically dormant for some years…

In my early 20’s I bought a compact digital camera and found a renewed passion for photography, probably from having read all those books when I was a kid…I started with digital photography enhancements out of curiosity and dived into it eager to learn to express how I experienced the world and its irony…and you know how one thing leads to another…

More recently, I focused almost exclusively on conceptual photography and even though I gave my all I’m still struggling to make a living from my art.

If curious about my conceptual art visit: Art of Concept

Nowadays I’m trying to grow artistically and broaden my horizons…designing T-shirts allows me to do just that, I can still work with concepts which I love, plus I experience more creative freedom and I’m learning to draw…As you can imagine, I’m having a blast!

A little secret: When designing a new T-shirt (usually with music on, drinking “mate” and little or no clothes on =) I picture you wearing it at a disco or bar, drink in hand, making an impression and looking cool while having a great time with friends…it’s great boost for my inspiration!

T-Shirts are my new passion, my new adventure…I hope you enjoy the results!
