We regret to advise that due to the weather here in SEQ, Meeanjin Markets is closed this weekend. Stay safe peeps. If it's flooded, forget it.

We do love the support we receive from lots of academics who buy our shirts. A few years ago we were at the @AustAssocResEd conference at @QUT. I wasn't really keen on doing it - we were busy & it was nearly Christmas.

Always remember the day our Twitter blew up when a character from Channel 4's #WeAreLadyParts was wearing one of our shirts. No idea it was going to happen, thanks Twitter! And you should definitely watch the show - we loved it! #NotAWillingParticipant #Episode5

@jennifer_philp We do have a lot of non-Indigenous supporters (here in Australia & overseas) who do purchase our designs which is awesome.

The broader purpose of @DarkDisturb, beyond tshirts, is about curating projects.

Vernon is the artist and designer of all @DarkDisturb's products, and the exercise is in essence an artwork. But I do the work behind the scenes.

We are sitting here writing these tweets together. I was going to tweet 'Vernon's first passion was screen-printing' but then I realised it's actually drawing. He replied: 'Yep. I'm a drawer.' (LW)
Dark and Disturbing is a curatorial / performance project of Vernon Ah Kee. His broader practice is more multi-disciplined incorporating drawing, video, installation, design, printmaking. You can see more of his practice here: milanigallery.com.au/artist/…

We did at @MeeanjinMarkets yesterday, and we had a great time. There was a wonderful sense of camaraderie - there was real sense that everyone was happy to be out and about after so long. #MeeanjinMarkets

Dark and Disturbing was an idea we had in around 2009. Vernon has always designed and printed shirts (he was a trained screenprinter) and we had a lot of shirts lying around from when he was at art school. Even when he became a full-time artist, we were always printing shirts.
