The Tee-Ching

Wu Wear - The tee that cannot be named

I came across an ancient version of the yin and yang symbol many years ago when I was working on a video project and looking into ancient symbolism. I filed this image wondering what to do with it. I contemplated having a tattoo, but that was a toss up between this and the tree of life. I don’t have any tattoos and I can always find better things to spend money on (silent disco headphones, ebike, psychedlic brainwave entrainment equipment).

When I was looking for a symbol to work with the Inspiral Flowstate brand I dropped this in and it worked perfectly. So I printed a couple of black on black tshirts for myself which I wear for my flowstate sessions. Someone commented that they would like to buy one so I made them available from a couple of print on demand stores.

I had also shelved an idea for a name for a t-shirt brand, The Tee Ching, a play on the Tao Te Ching and also the I-Ching. I love how it infers the teaching too!

So it all seemed to drop into place so easily, which is the way I like it. Like water, Flow, don’t force it.

The UK based store is Tee Mill (more ethical - less colours available) and the other store which I set up first before I realised I could set up a UK based one is with Printify (more colours available).
