This PS/2 computer port is hand-stitched onto a T-shirt.  The idea of combining computer ports and stitching came about by me wanting to use the medium of stitching, an analog traditional storytelling craft with contemporary digital theme subject matter of computer ports.  I wanted to tell the story of passe ports.

First, an illustration of a catalog of computer ports were drawn.  Then one image was blown up and printed onto vellum.  The vellum is then overlaid onto the T-shirt, to be used as a guide for the stitching.  This is the first and only that I did and the shirt was given to Nathan.  As you can see from the photo, he loves the shirt for it is a well-worn shirt.

This Lincoln portrait illustration was also made back in Winter 2008, for the 200 Lincoln Show at Chicago Art Department (CAD).  The illustration was then made into a T-shirt using iron-ons.  On the back of the shirt, it has number 16, to represent the 16th president.  Only one was made and this unique shirt was bought by Seth Gershberg.  Thanks Seth for the love and support.
