Things Must Fly™ tees are available in nine original designs to celebrate a renewed version of artist Simone Monsi’s now expired classic tumblr blog “Congratulations!” where for the past 9 years he collected images related to internet aesthetics and Japanese pop culture. “At the end of 2018, ‘Congratulations!' had 6.000 posts and more than 800 followers but after Tumblr was bought by Yahoo!, the community guidelines were changed and like many other blogs, it was taken down due to containing sensitive media” said the artist. “When that happened, it felt like losing a key tool for my artistic practice through which I could play around and create mood-boards as visual inspirations for my artworks. During the recent global lockdown, I finally had time to recover those contents that hadn’t been censored and use them to create items that could be bought online and received directly at home like a physical fragment of my blog – making people able to keep in touch with my work while we couldn’t see each other. Also, I’ve always had this idea of my art being wearable, like something you can have on you and experience in your daily life, not only through your eyes but also with your body. It’s about going around with a splinter of my visual world on you, share it with other people and make them open up new mental paths through random combinations of images.” In this series of tees you will find nine of the most iconic mood-boards created through the years.
