shirts.wiki: About

This is a general introduction for visitors to shirts.wiki. The site also has all the products here, or a F.A.Q page here.

shirts.wiki:About

All my shirts and hoodies are carefully printed on a per-order basis in order to reduce waste and offer a very wide variety of designs. Printed in Montreal, Canada, on tag-free 100% cotton tees.

Why Wiki?

I call it shirts.wiki because it's a vast collection of shirts, much like a traditional wiki. Our site is filled with designs—primarily clip art and public domain images—all without the heavy branding you find elsewhere—ready to be modified by you.

While a typical wiki format might not work for e-commerce, I’ve adopted a unique approach. You can request any design, print it yourself, or even modify it and send it back for printing.

Plus, shirt variations can be featured as additional options on the product page, offering creators a chance to showcase their vision. Which could hopefully embody the expansive, collaborative nature of a wiki.

What's with your logo, Globe Man?

My logo features Globe Man, a t-shirt character with a globe for a body, representing a living, breathing wiki-like entity.

The silence and minimal motion in the design reflect my belief in simplicity. I don't like logos or text-heavy designs, and I feel there’s far too much of that in current trends. My shirts embrace a minimalistic approach, where text is always optional—if present at all. Joke tees have no place in this modern age.

The overlapping red and blue colors are a nod to my early work, where misaligned colors became part of the creative process.

Why is your site all mockups?

I believe in offering a vast, diverse collection of shirt designs that cater to specific needs. Instead of producing each design physically—an unsustainable and costly approach— I use mockups to bring an extensive range of options to life.
Whether you're a pillow shop looking for shirts with pillows or a fair needing customized mule-themed apparel, I have the design for you.

Shirts.wiki thrives on this specificity. It's not about wearing a random brand's logo, but about finding the exact shirt that resonates with you. That’s what makes our collection special and ensures there’s always something here just for you.

How's your stuff made?

I make all the shirts and hoodies using a vinyl cutter and a manual heat press.

Here's how it works: first, the design is cut from vinyl using a cutter.

Then, I weed out the excess vinyl, leaving only the design.

Finally, the design is carefully placed on the shirt or hoodie and pressed with a manual heat press to transfer it.

Since this process is mostly done by hand, pieces with intricate designs take more time and effort, which is why they might cost a bit more.

Where do you get your images?

Most of my images come from public domain websites such as openclipart.org, publicdomainvectors.org
or freesvg.org.

Some other images may also have been submitted, or be free to use by artists on the internet. If you are interested in an image, you can reach out to me using the Contact form.
