cizzoo

My jaw literally dropped that is an incredible tie dyed shirt


Heretical_Cactus

I wasn't even aware that this could be done


andLetsGoWalkin

https://www.instagram.com/edceldgzmn/?hl=en Edcel Guzman has been making some incredible stuff. I want to pull the trigger on a shirt so bad, but I can't bring myself to spend $250-300 on a dang tshirt. One day...


Fuquar7

It's an attractive price considering the skill he has...Not sure I would be willing to pay that, but his work is pretty persuasive. Edit: his work is pretty impressive, not it pretty impressive.


Slurrpy01

If I ever make it big I know I'm gonna be drippy af at least


andLetsGoWalkin

for real! If the lottery man ever comes my way I'm just gonna hire Guzman on retainer.


No_Society_4065

I'm pretty sure some big companies will copy his ideas and make a machine which will do this and sell them at the same/over price but market it more widely. Sadly, he will lose his business.


GreatValueCumSock

He can always Trademark his designs and since he made a video he has first world rights over the ones he does post. Doesn't stop counterfeiting or third world copies, but he'd be entitled to restitution in civil court.


Lawd_Fawkwad

You're not wrong, but what planet have you been on? Amazon is full of knockoffs who blatantly infringe IP and the platform does diddly squat about it. There are many cases of internet-famous people who hold patents but get screwed over by dropshippers who are shielded by so many layers of bureaucracy they're untouchable. You're right that theoretically he can file for a trademark, wait for it to get approved and then try to copyright strike copies or sue, but realistically speaking good luck getting a dropshipper or Chinese manufacturer to even show up to court, and even then the most that happens is they'll shut down shop and just open a new one because restitution is damn near impossible in these cases.


RedTuna777

Way cheaper to hire people in another country to place rubber bands just so.


EMPEROR_CLIT_STAB_69

I was at the Tie-Dye Bowl at DFO last year this dude is talking about. The shirt with eyeball is probably $2k at least, I’ve seen some go for much higher on auction it’s insane


Shilo788

No it’s wearable art. If I had that kind of money for clothes I would wear something like that before Prada or any of those names.


PuppyOfPower

Absolutely. Anyone can buy some fancy brand with enough money. This art is one of a kind. Even if he makes more, yours will still be just a liiiittle unique


TheWonderfulLife

Not a chance in hell I’m paying 300, much less 2,000 dollars for a rainbow shirt. I respect the artistic ability and time that may go into it. But no chance…


idkimnewbro

Knowing what goes into it absolutely, I'd put in the time to make it myself for >10$ for a white shirt and 10-20$ for dyes and like 5$ for a bag of rubber bands. But I understand buying this short before I buy Gucci lmao


CaterpillarThriller

so this is legit. I dont even know what to say I'm awe struck. I want to aggressively compliment him.


[deleted]

I'd feel bad wearing one of these. Like wearing the Mona Lisa or something.


NotFloppyDisck

Not trying to hate or anything, but wouldn't it be better to just somehow improve the process of manufacturing the shirts so theyre not so expensive?


WankTown24-7

I always thought ones like that were fake prited things, this is really impressive.


FITM-K

I almost never have any kind of real world reaction to videos and I said "holy shit!" out loud when he opened up that shirt. Maybe it's just my ignorance but that is so far beyond what I thought was even possible with tie-dyeing


PTfan

I don’t understand what’s cringe about it


geminiRonin

tiktokcringe isn't actually about cringe anymore... Still throws me off though


DSIR1

![gif](giphy|MuTenSRsJ7TQQ|downsized) Same

iamsorri

If literally was a person


NilMusic

Looks like an Alex Gray tool album cover. I'd buy this shirt.


Tiny-Lock9652

r/NextFuckingLevel


MMMindyyy

Same!! That some raw talent right there. Wonder how long it to to figure out how to do this. So interesting.


cptjimmy42

Sadly I'm not an XXXXL size shirt, otherwise I would have made an offer for it.


Shaman7102

Too late its my blanket.


sashathefearleskitty

Same omg


jrexicus

I wonder how he knows were to make the knots for the pattern, seems difficult to figure out


mr_wrestling

Lots and lots of practice, trading tips and tricks with others etc, I'm sure.


tinspoons

Speaking as someone with some experience in this realm, no one shares tips or tricks. Not at his level anyway. People like this will share reveals but never step by step.


YazzArtist

That's pretty disappointing


JustYourUsualAbdul

I mean it’s their bread and butter and revealing their process leaves them open for people to cut in on their revenue. If I could now get that shirt for $80 you bet I would over $240-$500. I’m sure you wouldn’t want people stealing your designs also.


the_real_abraham

There's a lot of world improving knowledge lying under gravestones.


HuntingHorns

IF YOU USE A SPOON TO BUTTER YOUR BREAD, IT WILL NOT TEAR LET IT BE KNOWN, CARRY THIS TALE INTO THE WIND AND SING IT FROM THE HILLS


halfar

you can also just toss the butter in the microwave for like 8 seconds. softens it up without threatening its structural integrity or making a mess.


DongmanSupreme

You idiot, you’ve just lost out on meager profits!


mycatisgrumpy

But if you put peanut butter in the microwave to soften it, make sure there are no bits of foil left on the lip of the jar.


straight-lampin

Or just leave it on the counter.


Beltox2pointO

Just leave the butter on the kitchen bench, it's never hard...


guy_in_the_meeting

Bro, you know how often I've torn my nice white slice of bread with cold butter and thought "There has to be a better way!" You are a Saint if I pull this off.


JustYourUsualAbdul

Just melt the butter in the microwave and spoon it onto the bread and spread it around.


DrunkLostChild

I just warm my spoon up in the microwave


hawkgpg

Why y'alls butter so cold???


[deleted]

People keep it in the fridge. As if butter isn’t pretty damn shelf stable


Chiang2000

You can also find grate it over the bread.


61114311536123511

What the fuck no the trick is to perfectly drag the edge of the butterknife across the top to create a butter slice which then can be easily spread on bread Or to not keep your butter in the fridge, if your climate won't make a puddle out of it. Butter keeps pretty fucking well on the countertop


[deleted]

Butter’s pretty shelf stable lol


Wutabutt_throw

Or have a butter dish.


JustYourUsualAbdul

While I agree with the sentiment, I doubt his tie dye design counts as “world improving” haha.


[deleted]

You don’t think art improves our lives, or you don’t think what he does qualifies as art? Edited to add question mark because someone pointed out that my question came off as a statement when I intended it as a question; also in case it’s not clear, my two option question is intended to frame my confusion not limit the person to literally only those two options: if there is another take not captured by my two options then I’m interested in hearing it


JustYourUsualAbdul

When did I say it didn’t count as art? Obviously it’s art but no, I don’t think art is “world improving”. I save a title like that for things like planes/cars/tech, you know, things that actually change how we live. If we start counting art as world improving then literally anything and everything could be viewed as that.


[deleted]

Ok so art doesn’t improve our lives? Then why do we make it, buy it, or consume it? Or are you saying THIS art is just low grade art? Which, that’s fine, it’s not the Mona Lisa I guess, but it’s clearly improving people’s lives if only this one guys that made it, right? I disagree that art doesn’t change our lives, that only tools of efficiency change our lives. That is clearly not correct, it’s like saying philosophy doesn’t change lives. IDEAS have a greater impact on who we are as individuals and society than tools will ever have.


thepoopsmithreigns

First of all, how dare you


[deleted]

That's why artist and inventors should always write their memoires with all this information before they die. Also, copyright and patents should last far far less.


[deleted]

> Also, copyright and patents should last far far less. He would never copyright it then. Otherwise his knowledge becomes known.


the_real_abraham

I'm still waiting for the rest of the contents Prince's safe to be released.


YazzArtist

I get where the mentally comes from, I just don't agree with it. I grew up in the worlds of model wargaming, writing, and blade smithing. All communities built on the understanding that there's more demand than there ever could be supply. In these spaces sharing your skills only helps to strengthen the community and encourage them to be just as giving with the new techniques they develop. Hell, they could even take the route of most top level people making their money on lessons/classes like the gardening community. At least then the info still gets out instead of dying with the craftsman.


JustYourUsualAbdul

I hear what you’re saying. I think the things you mentioned though have a much higher demand, skill set, or more hobby oriented than tie dye shirts being sold for income so what little upper hand they do have is to be protected. There’s a reason it won the competition because the design is next level and he would be under cut immediately after posting the how-to video. I think he deserves to milk any profits until someone else figures it out. I also think that someone already skilled in tie dye can possibly figure it out by studying it wrapped up so while there is an air of protecting the design I’m sure some tie dyers are already going through trial and error to copy it.


YazzArtist

Maybe you're right and the demand isn't there. That's a risk for sure, but I feel like this post's response should assuage most of that concern. I'd argue that tie-dye fits perfectly into that same niche of profitable hobby to acceptable career as mini painting and bladesmithing. Especially with the boom of people like this, namely on TikTok, reinvigorating the coolness of tie-dye. Not only that, but as someone else mentioned there is a significant amount of trained skill involved in achieving these sorts of results reliably in most crafts. I'd assume it's the same here. Sharing your process doesn't mean everyone will be able to copy your exact design. Some might, sure. Most people with that level of skill are more interested in adapting your process for their own creative endeavors though. To speak in Monty Python references, Brian didn't get near the following Jesus did.


Champigne

These take a very long time to make so the risk of being seriously undercut is low.


OnePlusFourIsFive

https://youtu.be/TVhhu3_Tj4U


YazzArtist

Nice! Glad to see there's someone sharing the love


OstentatiousSock

Meh, not really. It’s their career and it’s competitive. Why reveal your special trick so everyone else can replicate it and take money out of your pocket using your own technique.


TatManTat

This isn't entirely true, tips and tricks are not going to suddenly give you the skills to execute something like this. There's not some "secret" you can know *how* to do something and it can still take you 10 years to actually perfect it.


regoapps

But if someone was inclined enough, they could see what knots he made in the first half of the video by studying it frame-by-frame. He even tells you which knots do what. Then it’s just a matter of matching what he did and practicing and practicing until you get a similar result.


Neverendingmuthrfuk

So you don’t know either?


mr_wrestling

Absolutely not


DarfInMe

"nah bro move that elastic ten thousandths of an inch topwise, while giving it an extra 2.764 foot pounds of twist counter clockwise with the apex of the pressure 372 thousandths of an inch from the elastic if you want that mandala centered."


faceblender

Apprenticeship with a ancient hippie guru in a cave on Mount Shasta


Warg247

The secret is mixing the dye only with water from Lake Minnetonka.


Jokkitch

Because it’s so polluted?


Chainsawd

My aunt used to live up on Shasta. Some wild folks out there.


Soreiyu

For the people asking https://dyeinglightcreations.com/ is his website but he doesn't sell these intricate designs there. @dyeinglightcreations is his Instagram


kool_ay_edam

Clever username lol


illpilgrims

How do they not get blown out and unwearable after being tied up for a year?


Nashville2Portland

Depends. I would assume he didn’t soak in SA before tying. I’ve had some shirts tied up for 6-8 months before dying and they’re usually fine!


DionFW

Why do you have to let them sit tied for so long?


Nashville2Portland

It’s not that I had to let them sit that long, they just did. Lol I had some pieces tied before I moved states, forgot about them, and found them later on unpacking. Turned out just as well as my freshies!


GettinGritty

If I understood him right, he said he tied it up a year ago but didn't have the time to dye it before he had to go to that competition, so it only sat tied for a year with no dye in it yet


her_butt_

I don't think that was in question. It just seems wrong that a shirt can be tied up in such a crazy shape for such a long time and still retain its shape. Edit: seems I've forgotten that irons exist


booglemouse

Provided it's 100% cotton (should be, for tie-dye), and was tied up while dry without stretching the fabric, it should be fine for ages. He definitely does iron it after the wash out, as well. Cotton fibers are resilient.


[deleted]

I mean have y'all never ironed a shirt before?


TheAwkwardBanana

I have a feeling 20% of redditors haven't *washed* a shirt before.


TessHKM

No I have a dryer lol


Constant_Country4152

Did everyone replying to the OP take stupid pills? How does this have 250 upvotes? It doesn’t answer the question.


PayUpBallahollicBot

Yeah that’s what they said lol


PlankWithANailIn2

Watch the video again he tied it up a year ago but only just dyed it. He's says "I finally dyed it yesterday" at the 22 second mark, there are subtitles too if you had your sound off. Its a 75 second long video ffs reddit, at least 221 people had this same thought god help us all.


CJR3

Why is everyone responding like this? They’re asking how the shirt can maintain its shape after **being tied up for a year** and then everyone (including you) are like, “watch the video, it was tied up a year ago” Like… that’s exactly what they’re saying??


olivesforsale

Lol your not getting it. Watch the video again. He says the shirt WAS tied up a year ago. It has subtitles if u need...


horseflier

Actually he says the shirt was tied up a YEAR ago. Get it?


ginko-ji

Reread the comment again. They asked how it can stay the same “after being *tied up* for a year”, not after being dyed or whatever. It’s a 17 word comment, ffs reddit.


NailFin

I wish I were just half as talented as that guy.


Zero_Digital

I've made a few tie-dye shirts. They look like hot garbage compared to this.


[deleted]

The first step to getting good at something is being bad at it. I observed Escher, I love Basquiat I watched Keith Haring, you see I study art The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they'd paint a lot ~ Macklemore, 10 thousand hours.


zxzzxzzzxzzzzx

I forgot how corny Macklemore is lol. I mean, I appreciate the sentiment but the delivery is so bad.


-lighght-

Practice half as much as he does and you likely will be.


PancakeParty98

Start trying then lol


Zombi3Kush

If thats what you really wish just practice for the next 5 years. I'm sure he had to do the same.


Questwarrior

Competitive tie dyeing is something I didn’t know I wanna see


iphonedeleonard

My thought exactly. Something I like about countries like the US is how they have so many random ass competitions that don’t exist where im from


Hahhahaahahahhelpme

That’s clearly top talent right there. It’s a shame that tie dye clothes on this level just look so ugly despite being extremely impressive at the same time.


yasraz91

Shut the front door. Wtf. Madness. Howwwwww


SkeletonLad

I don’t like tie dye, I think it’s goofy. However, this one is rad! Love the colors and the eye.


JamesMacBadger

These all look amazing. It's a pity you can't wear one without people thinking you're a massive stoner who's about to tell everyone how mushrooms cure cancer.


boy____wonder

You're telling me this shirt will act as a filter so I can avoid talking to anyone who harbors ridiculous stereotypes about tie dye shirts?!


DTFH_

I think they're telling us that if you wear these shirts then people will offer to sell you fun drugs!


d2explained

Or you could just wear it in public and not care like a normal person lol


JamesMacBadger

To be clear. I wouldn't mind wearing it. I just know that people would make assumptions about me which would affect how they perceive and treat me. Doesn't matter how little I care if I still get treated worse by people.


I_CANT_AFFORD_SHIT

I wore my tie die to Disney recently and got more first bumps/positive comments than any other day that week


L8n1ght

you surround yourself with the wrong people then, damn


Ignitus1

In what situation would you a) wear a tye dye shirt and b) have massive consequences for how people treat you. You're not wearing this to a loan application or a funeral. You're wearing it to the park while you walk your dog.


[deleted]

Dude mushrooms are so good tho


S4Waccount

I was gonna say, I don't run around telling people they cure cancer BUT I will wax poetic to anyone who will listen about how they are the best anti-depressant not on the market.


spankthegoodgirl

Like, for real? Cause i need some help. Lol, but not really. DM me?


IJusWearDeez

Word to the wise, don’t start doing psychedelics without having decent knowledge of you and your families mental health history. You can really ruin yourself.


Drop_Acid_Drop_Bombs

Psilocybin is amazing for depression. I recommend trying, just cautiously; safe preparation can be the difference between a life-changing, soul-healing experience and a horrific nightmare come alive.


Armchair_Idiot

Forreal dude. I suffered with mad depression and I still do, but they really helped and changed me as a person for the better. I might be a bit slower now, but that was only because I abused them (which is pretty hard to do), and I still think that’s for the better. If you’re ever able to try them, I recommend listening to the Tao Te Ching or something with Allen Watts. If you just want them to laugh yourself nearly to death, watch The Eric Andre show.


PhoneticRainbow

I'm not a doctor and I may be wrong but I had read/seen something about how taking mushrooms creates new neural pathways in the brain and can help decrease depression. It's super interesting: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/newsroom/news-releases/psilocybin-treatment-for-major-depression-effective-for-up-to-a-year-for-most-patients-study-shows


unreeelme

It’s legal in Oregon as a guided depression treatment.

I live near Eugene so it'd be the official outfit of pretty much every occasion.


mr_wrestling

I was gonna say (respectfully) that the "tye dye cup" would be in Portland


[deleted]

I wear my old lady boomer suit while I’m stoned to go pick up mushrooms at the illegal store. Because I’m an old lady boomer who loves weed and needs psilocibin for depression.


industrial_trust

Yo this is some crazy thought process and this is going to send you to an early grave if you allow this kind of analysis to inform your decisions and behavior. (Hopefully you aren’t saying this because you judge people this abrbitraily yourself). The scenario you describe is NOT how reality works, very few people notice what others do AT ALL, let alone engage in these kinds of prejudgements, and honestly, even if that was how people actually operated, it STILL would be entirely useless and exhausting to try and preempt it. You have to LIVE and let the chips fall. A


essentially_gone

I try not to judge people but if I see someone in a tie dye shirt I instantly assume they’re cooler then the average non-tie dye person


chiggachiggameowmeow

The whole time he was talking I was shittily prejudging the reveal solely based on the faded shirt he’s wearing. Literally went from 🤔to🫨. This isn’t even cringe. I know nothing about tie dye and I think this is some next level shit.


suitedfreak

I think the shirt he’s wearing is fucking sick.


cvnvr

> This isn’t even cringe. nobody said it was cringe


Sexyfish_007

Now that's what I call a 60$ tie diy shirt!! You should sell to hippy shops.

Shirts like this usually go for $200+


Sexyfish_007

We go to different quality hippy shops


DevonPr

His shirts range from $500-2k looking at his Instagram auctions


Sexyfish_007

I'm not denying that his work is worth that amount literally all I'm saying is I go to a shop that sells shirts like this between 45$ - 100$. Edit: So sorry I thought you were a response to my "we go to different hippy shops" comment and they were taking it personally.

Why are half the comments confused about the sub. I thought at this point everyone knew that the "cringe" is no longer relevant for this sub. This is one of the most popular subs so people should be able to figure that out in a day or two just from the type of content that is posted here.

My mistake. I was not aware. Seems like a name change for the sub would make sense, but that's just my personal attention. Normally, this sub only pops up on my feed with truly cringe stuff, so I was genuinely confused.
