Hello.

Like the US Men's soccer team, Not Quite is a work in progress. I'm figuring things out as I go. I'll have some successes (hopefully) and lots of failures.

Yes, it's a small screen printing shop. But I'm hoping it becomes something bigger than that. It's about ideas. Conversation pieces. And maybe even a community. Everybody wears t-shirts. Often, we are walking advertisements. Honestly, I don't want to make advertisements. I want to make things that can get people talking. We need more of that right now.

So let's keep talking. What do you want to know about Not Quite?

And thanks again for taking the time to follow along. I can't promise anything too exciting. But who knows?

Lastly, just to set the record straight, the name Not Quite was taken from one of the most important architects of the 20th century that you probably never heard of: Alison Smithson. In the late 1950s, she wrote a series of articles called 'Not Quite Architecture' for the Architects' Journal, where she wrote about … you guessed it … anything but architecture. She was part of a husband and wife duo who tried to humanize modernism with Brutalist architecture. Yes, you read that right. She was amazing.

Enough for now. Back at the drawing board to figure out what to do next.
