The Dashed Circle and the Solid Ball: What the ‘I Had Potential’ Shirt Actually Draws

Oct 23, 2026Curtis Fields

The shirt reads I HAD POTENTIAL in white capitals, and beneath the words is a curved ramp descending from left to right. At the upper left ledge sits a dashed empty circle. At the lower right flat ledge rests a solid white ball. That is the whole design. No caption, no arrow, no equation. Just…

The Composition Notebook Shirt Is a Costume About Being Seen, Not a School Slogan

Oct 22, 2026Curtis Fields

The first thing I notice is the label. On the black-and-white speckled rectangle printed across the front of this shirt, a white ruled label sits near the top, headed with the word COMPOSITION. Inside the ruled lines, an outlined ghost and a pumpkin float where a name or a subject would normally go. A dark…

The Loudest ‘meh’ in the Room: Reading the Typography of Disengagement

Oct 20, 2026Curtis Fields

The shirt does not whisper. Large, bold, white lowercase letters spell out meh. across a dark background, and the period lands like a full stop on a conversation that never started. There is no animal, no mascot, no secondary illustration—just the word, oversized, taking up more visual space than a four-letter dismissal has any right…

The Caution Triangle as a Boundary: Reading the ‘Not Friendly Do Not Touch’ Shirt

Oct 19, 2026Curtis Fields

The first thing the shirt does is borrow the grammar of a hazard sign. Across the chest, in the blocky sans-serif that municipal works departments use for road closures and wet-floor warnings, the words NOT FRIENDLY sit above DO NOT TOUCH. Between them, a yellow caution triangle holds a hand with a diagonal slash through…
