Help Me Find a T-Shirt

I was watching VH1's "I Love the 90s" (God I love the 10 hour long clip show series they have on that show - I watch them all... in their entirety... several times) when I saw something that caught my eye: one of the speakers (not a regular - I only saw him on once or twice) was wearing a black t-shirt with white letters that read simply "Alot of Art is Boring." I want that t-shirt. I've tried searching the internet for it, but to no avail. I have found a few blogs that mention it's existence, but not the shirt itself. I thought of checking the VH1 message boards, but there were no threads on the subject, and I really didn't feel like joining to start one myself.

Soooooo, if any of you know where (or if) I can find this shirt, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me.

Thanks!

P.S. I'm going camping for a week, so if I don't respond to you for a while, don't think I'm a total prick.

You get the design made for you. A friend of mine works in a screen-printing place, and they have stuff called 'flocking' that they can cut letters and shapes out of. It's good quality, she's made up a couple of shirts for me using it, and has the advantage that you're not paying them to make up a screen for the printing thereof. (I can give your their number, but I'm sure you don't need to go all the way to Colorado for a screen-printing place...)

Failing that, you can now get iron-on transfers that work with black T-shirts. Print out the text in a thin outline font, trim to shape and iron on. Presto, edgy slogan in white letters on black T-Shirt. But the problem with iron-on transfers is that they don't last long...at least mine don't.

additionally, you can do a google search for "a lot of art is boring" and be taken directly to a shop selling the shirts.

that would be it... last time i checked, they also had some other good ryan mcginness designs, including the 'warhol wig' shirt you may have seen on the chapelle show.
