Are You Staring At My Tube? Tshirt.



Now available for owning and then staring, here.


I designed and had these tshirts screen printed last year before Muntedkowhai came into existence. I wanted to do something that was both art and science but found the process not as "hands on" as I would like. Sure I designed the image but that was it. I enjoy the creation of something much more spontaneous and always changing, thus Muntedkowhai was perfect. However, I do think there should be more art based science hand made things out for market. Not just those "SCIENCE IS AWESOME" tshirts. I like tshirts without words, an image that link us together. When I was in college, I had, for a split second wanted to be a biology text book illustrator. Oh how silly of me. Now they have super duper hi tech photographs. Doh!


A microcentrifuge tube (also known more by brand, the eppendorf tube) is used as a vessel for liquids up to 1ml or a bit more. It is capped and then put into a micro centrifuge which spins at various high speends to pellet or bring down cells to the bottom so that you can seperate cells from the liquid they were sitting in.

yes, science and art are just two sides of the same coin. molecular structures, galaxy images, equation strings, erlenmeyer flasks...so inspirational!

cute tees!

Ok miss smarty pants!! Let me just say that the explanation at the end of what the tube is used for was so over my head I found myself laughing out loud!!

Love your funky cool shirts and the brilliance behind them! Xo
