Legos and masked queens


I love the wild streak in 2nisis designs. The edgy, urban feel, the graffiti and stencil art connotations and the revolutionary-friendly attitude. Plus, they make great shirts! This lego guy spraying the mighty dollar is a really good.


The stamp with Queen Elizabeth sporting a gas mask is another prime example of this artist's unconventional inventiveness. The store offers a small but brilliant collection of interesting designs -not for the docile-minded.

Mischief in art

This raglan shirt bears the mark of Puzoichi's love for graffiti and street art. It celebrates, in bold black and white, the joy of creating right on the skin of the city. Some may prefer the pristine sight of an untouched, sterile surface but... there are always people like that, aren't they?
Puzo, the multi-talented artist behind this design, votes in favor of the hand holding the marker. His hand finds happiness in strong lines, ink drips and chaotic -yet solid and expressive- composition. I wish I could see his work on my street. Well, at least there's always the internet!

Olden times


That's it! Simple, stylish and sweet. A medieval design that looks like you tattooed your tee. Straight from the Body English headquarters, along with many fine designs -including some really interesting and eye-catching ones from the French Protests of 1968.


The time was May 1968. French students and workers staged some impressively huge protests against their government and the whole capitalistic viewpoint of the western world. Armed with surrealism, humor and zen-like slogans, they changed the way people express civilian disobey.Their posters and slogans are as relevant today as ever -and maybe more so!

International Meowism

A sincere tribute to loving pets or playfully ironic pop art? I vote for the second but I guess both could be true in the case of this really clever -and well-done- design offered by Obey the Pure Breed, a shop dedicated to the worthy cause of animal world domination.
There is a huge niche for pet stuff in the market. Some of it is downright tasteless. This is not the case with this gallery, though, as this t-shirt comes to prove. I guarantee you it's not the only one. They make smart, funny, strange, iconic designs that defy the obvious and are a pure pleasure to use or to wear.
[I wonder, could there be a Chairman Meow's Little Red Book?]
There is also a great site to visit, full of animal propaganda nuttiness (all for the benefit of the Revolution, of course!)
