Q&A With the Artist: Christian Pedersen

Tell us a bit about yourself and how you approach your design work:

“I’m a vaguely human shaped thing designing and illustrating its way through life. My approach revolves around finding ways to incorporate animals or bad puns into each project- if an idea makes me laugh, I’m golden.”

What is your relationship with climbing?

“Climbing’s dope because sometimes you feel like you’re really strong and coordinated and then it humbles you pretty quick. I love the hell out of it though and there’s no other community that compares.”

What does it mean for you to partner with the AAC?

“Really just trying to get a free shirt out of this... Kidding aside, the AAC’s mission has always deeply resonated and it was a dream getting to collaborate!”

Q: I'm on an auto-renewing membership that renews in June, how do I get the shirt?
A: Any member who has a successful auto-renewal transaction in the month of June is eligible for a t-shirt. We have emailed a form to all June auto-renewing members to obtain your shirt size and current shipping address. Be sure to check your email!

Q: How long will it take for my shirt to arrive?
A: Please allow 6-8 weeks for your shirt to arrive. We aim to minimize our impact and costs from the t-shirt printing. Because of this, we wait until we can determine the demand from the campaign and place the order accordingly. Thanks for your patience in this process, saving resources and minimizing impact for a climate campaign is critical. Additionally, saving money on printing shirts allows us to put more money towards our good work, like fighting climate change for climbers!
