memetic tees

This is a personal project. Some years ago I started creating some T-shirts for myself and some people liked those designs.  Through this shop I want to create more of them and meet people with similar interests.

Well, Why memetic? Let me say that at first, this shop was supposed to be about science but sometimes, events take over and you end up in another place. If I had thought this to be mainly about sci-fi and cyberpunk I would have chosen another name for sure.

What’s a meme?

Richard Dawkins coined the word “meme” as a neologism in his book The Selfish Gene (1976) to describe how one might extend evolutionary principles to explain the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. He gave as examples melodies, catch-phrases, beliefs (notably religious belief, clothing/fashion, and the technology of building arches).

You are a message and your t-shirt is the medium. Despite my initial designs, Memetic tees isn’t exclusively about sci-fi, science…”Spread your world” will be about showing through your tee things you like or your way of thinking about something. I want most of my designs to serve as a way to connect people with similar interests or spark a conversation about them.

I have many designs on mind and new “worlds” (themes) to come, but little time, I have a full time job and work on this at nights when my kids are sleeping.
