Student artist launches T-shirt business

While other children daydreamed of future occupations as astronauts or firemen, Tom Richmond, a senior concentrating in printmaking from Kansas City, Kan., already knew his.
Project after project have led him to the School of Fine Arts and to mural projects in Lawrence and in The Studio attached to Hashinger Residence Hall, Visual arts always seemed like a linear path.
He just may not have known he would one day be launching a career when he sat next to Simon Jackson in a middle school art class.
"We were always into art," Jackson said. "Now that we're both old enough and adult enough and mature enough in our drawing, it translates into selling and having a business mind."
Jackson, a hairdresser at Aisley&Stripe Salon in Overland Park, and Richmond have collaborated and drawn together since their early teens. Now, the pair is taking their designs to a wearable level by creating their own T-shirt business, Omen and Arrow.
"It's really cool to see two different styles of line and two different brains come together on the same
composition;" Richmond said.
At a printmaking convention in Milwaukee last month, one of Richmond's Instagram followers approached him to compliment Omen and Arrow. Because they haven't launched an official online presence yet and are still operating through their personal accounts, @trichmond713 and @captainsimon, Richmond was pleasantly surprised to already be receiving feedback and positive buzz from strangers.
"We don't really know exactly how this is going to play out," Richmond said. "For right now, we're just having fun with it and enjoying creating together and seeing our shirts around."
What Richmond loves about stencling with spray paint — the clean layers and the illustrative style — translates perfectly into printmaking. Their collaborative style, Jackson said, appeals to a young adult target audience.
"It's a little darker," Jackson said. "We get a lot of inspiration from tattoos and graffiti, so it's really illustrative but definitely more alternative."
For the past month, Richmond and Jackson have been bouncing ideas back and forth, reworking and re-inking sketches until they're ready to be printed. Making sure their images are exactly the style
they want, Richmond and Jackson screen print all of the hand-drawn designs by exposing photographic sensitive material to their drawings over mylar.
"People really take for granted how long the printmaking process by hand actually takes," Richmond said.
Because each T-shirt requires extensive time to print, Richmond and Jackson are kept busy by filling orders for friends. With a goal to collect 10 polished designs before they launch their website and eight designs finished, the two are now also looking for ways to mass produce shirts.
"Ideally, we want to make tons of money and sell out, but that's not what it's all about for us." Richmond said. "It could go anywhere, and Simon and I would have a great time doing it. We enjoy the excuse to hang out and do some artwork together, and that's all it needs to be. From here, it just goes up. In turn, it's two best friends making artwork for other people to enjoy."
Richmond and Jackson will continue to sell shirts in-person until their online boutique is up and running. They expect to price each shirt around $25.

FINAL FOUR
Wichita State Shockers fans welcome team at Koch Arena
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — Chanting Wichita State fans wearing shirts emblazoned with messages such as "Play Angry" welcomed home the Final Four-bound Shockers early Sunday.
The Wichita Eagle reported that coach Gregg Marshall hoisted an NCAA trophy above his head as he stepped off the team bus around 4 a.m. Hours earlier, his ninth-seeded team upset second-seeded Ohio State 70-66 after he issued a halftime reminder to "plav arngv"
Wichita State now heads to its first Final Four since 1965.
About 75 fans shouted "Good job, coach!" and "Final Four! Final Four!" during the early morning homecoming celebration at Charles Koch Arena. Some in the crowd held signs that read "Keep calm and Shock on" or "Final 4-Bound."
Marshall chanted along when someone sang the first few words to "War," a fight song introduced by the pep band and a quick hit among fans.
"You don't want to go to war with the Shockers," the song proclaims. "Don't start no stuff, won't be no stuff."
Marshall later likened the fans to family.
"The love that this program is shown by these folks, it's constant," he said. "You can always count on it."
"Everyone roots for the underdog," 25-year-old Pusateri, of Wichita, said. "It's cool to see Wichita State make a mark."
Adam Pusateri said the "small town" spirit of the gathering spurred his trip to campus.
Senior forward Carl Hall said the team is expected to leave mid-week to prepare for its Final Four matchup Saturday in Atlanta.
"It it just goes to show how the fans all are — how supportive they are," Hall said of the reception.
STUDENT SENATE
Student Senate
reconsiders fees
Collection of this year's Requirement Campus Fees has been better than expected, which has allowed the senate to pay off a finance bond early, said Dean Jane, chair of the Finance Committee.
This news comes in right at next year's student fees are under consideration by Student Senate's finance committee, as disclosed in the minutes of last Wednesday's full Senate meeting.
Pointing to last year's campus fee increasing by $15, Student Body President Hailan Bottom encouraged the finance committee to lower campus fees in light of the surplus.
"We are working for students." Bottom said. "Just because $3.50 is available doesn't mean we should reallocate this."
me fee, which costs each student $44 per semester, pays for student health services, membership to the recreation center and other on campus services, according to the University on office KU Financial Aid and Scholarship.
Dean said the finance committee would further consider fee review as a result of the early bond pay off before making a recommendation to full Senate.
"The fee process is actually ongoing." Dean said. "Nothing will be final until April 17."
