Times -Advocate, June 7, 1989 Page 5 A t -shirt painted with air It's your busin esifiginl� The personal touch in Grand Bend By Adrian (Harte GRAND BEND - Part of what makes Grand Bend such a special attraction in the summer months is not a collection of high -dollar bou- tiques, but the availability of unique, affordable items that appeal to the crowds. At least that's tie, way Brent Gallifordsees it. His business, High Tide Air Wear, is. very unique. In fact, no two t - shirts he airbru'shcs by hand are the same. Galliford uses a compressor, an airbrush, and permanent fabric paint to create his designs on white t -shirts. He can copy and stylize any picture a customer can bring in. The shirt is ready in about an hour. "I'll try anything they want," Galliford claiinrd. Behind him in his stall is a variety of. unusual de- signs. High Tide is an offshoot of Jim Archibald's casual wear store, Ar chie's. Archibald had been looking for an airbrush artist interested in painting t -shirts as a summer job, and he heard Galliford, a South Hu- ron. student who lives in Grand Bend, had been experimenting with an airbrush since December. The two think they have a winning combination. The last two weekends have been - a little quiet for business, but Gal- liford points out that the weather has been less than cooperative. Three weekends ago, it was a differ- ent story. "May two-four was really hop- ping," he said. Demand for the shirts kept him busy all -weekend. He anticipates hot summer weather will generate similar business. High Tide might have the only airbrushed shirts in town at the moment, but Galliford says he has heard of two more artists who are to set up shop soon. Competition will become part of the game. "That means price wars and de- sign wars when they come," he ex- plained. While there are those who insist Grand Bend's retailers should move upmarket and avoid the souvenir t - shirt trade, Galliford says the de- mand for such items proves the - youth market is still strong and - forms an important part of the community's attraction. This is not to say that High Tide's handmade creations arc chean - the shirts start at S20 and escalate in price according 'to the number of colours used in the design. The im- portant thing is that cach one is... unique to its owner. • "You can get something you want and no one else will have that design " Galliford "stated • 7 - } • • We Specialize in Service 's. r, yrrr, &tepheas SUMMER FURNITURE %i%, %ice (Bul.)\ No Save Now Special Savings on Clearouts, One - Of -A -Kinds, Discontinued Models. 63 Main Street, Exeter Airbrush art - Or is it art at all?
