Say Nice Things About Anchorage

What can I say?  Be nice about my hometown!  Growing up there, yeah, Anchorage and all of Alaska is a bit removed from the rest of the world, which is part of what gives us Alaskans our mysterious cool points.  I’ve heard it, and even done it, the moaning that ‘there’s nothing to do in Anchorage’ or ‘it’s not cute here’ and everything else.  Well, here’s a cute t with a better idea.

I had an online zine that worked to build community in Anchor-town, and although it was short lived, it drew 10,000 hits a month for a time.  The desire for more is there.

Three colors: black, light blue, and natural thread organic.  These are printed on American Apparel t’s, by a small business in Wasilla, Alaska.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
