about VISV10 the VISV10 (visualiser version 10) is the latest version of zbq's online shirt store. for the first time ever you can view almost every design we have screenprinted on shirts for the last 5 years, and also see all of the pre-printed inventory we have in stock- in the same place, at the same time. click on the thumbnails on the left (1) to see each different design. the large circular thumbnails at the top are designs that are currently in stock and available for shipping within 24 hours. if you scroll down you'll see smaller square thumbnails underneath- this is a complete list of nearly every design we've printed since 2003. to the right are 2 groups of shirt icons (2) and (3) the first group is a complete breakdown of all styles and colors we currently print on- you can "visualize" any single design on any shirt, and if you see something you really like you can reserve one for yourself for the next time we do a print run. the next group of shirts (3) shows what we currently have in stock- clicking on these icons gives you a virtual tour of our inventory. the shirt (4), well, it's just the shirt. the photo thumbnails (5) reveal photos & closeups of that print by mousing over them. the size icons on the right (6) show what sizes are available in that style. if the design in question is currently available for order in a certain size, the size should be lighter than the others, and clicking on it will open up a new window for our shopping cart system where you can add or delete items as you browse, or checkout and pay using paypal. if the design is not currently in stock in your desired style, color and size, the size link guides you to a page where you can reserve the shirt of your choice for the next time that it is printed (this does not legally obligate you to buy the shirt when/if it's printed). under the swatches you'll find an array of little buttons (7), all of which do a variety of interesting things, including pulling up all information about that particular print and shirt, comments, voting, shirt sizing and the new search feature, which allows you to search through our entire inventory in seconds to see what we have in stock in your choice of style and size. why not try them yourself? the handy-dandy pull-down menu under the buttons makes it easy to jump to any print in the collection on a whim. we sincerely hope you enjoy the visualiser experience. thanks to dan st. george for the original concept, and yes, we know it's supposed to be spelled with a z. if you have any questions about how the visualiser works (or anything else) don't hesitate to write us. top

what's a zbq? i started zero t-shirts in 1993 with an old heat press and several boxes of old comics and magazines to purge for inspiration. in those days i was doing strictly heat transfers, mostly just for fun, so i was able to play around with hundreds of different images. in 1998 i launched the first zero web site, zero23.com (now defunct), which featured 80 pretty scrappy images available on baseball shirts and white t-shirts. before long i was receiving art submissions from all over the internet from some pretty incredible artists and started to post many of these on the site as shirt designs. in 1997 i had started to finally mess around with screenprinting, buying gear and doing experiments. around this time i also became aware of zero skateboards so i started thinking of a way to change the company's name without altering it too much. on february 2nd 2002 i launched a new site- this one, zeroboutique.com, so i thought that zeroboutique worked as a natural progression. except that it was a little long, so i shortened it to zbq. in the years since i had started doing shirts in my room i had acquired a 4 color printing station and a bunch of other gear and inks and had moved into a larger commercial space. the more screenprinting i did, the more i enjoyed the art and process of shirt printing and i have never stopped trying to learn & develop my skills ever since. these shirts are hand screened with love and perseverance in halifax, nova scotia. keep fighting & dreaming.    top -jason
