Call me out of touch, but I'm clueless as to who that is.
That aside, I think the actual image is great. The colors are a little odd..the blue is kind of light, and the red is kind of orange...but the more I look at it the less it bothers me. Good placement...for once people won't be yelling "make it higher" over and over again.
its che guevara (thats pretty out of touch ;-) ) the cuban flag is a clue...
great pic of che (kinda suave and cool), silhouette looks good on the flag. one to piss off all those classic che pic (korda?) tee wearers who are making NO thought out kind of political statement. you'll be able to prove it when they have no idea who that is on your tee.
i'd quite like it if the shirt said bandwagon somewhere small. would be funny and the tee could make its point clearer that way.
.....pardon me for laughing, ]-[x]-[, but what is all this worth:
"Digital artist with an antiestablishment color. Current projects include a visual thesis comparing and contrasting the organic and technological as one organism evolving co-dependently, and the ensuing deification of technology. Other areas of interest are the human body/mind state as a binary system, focusing on communication and sexuality as systems of input and output."
......when you don´t even know who Che is??!
..........and erhh, yeah, Ewan, welcome to the che-club, it´s a nice, simple and funny peace this one.........
In [x]'s defense, I thought it was Corey Feldman at first. The flag should make it obvious though. Anyway, the whole Che t-shirt thing and trying to be political about it kinda died when Abercrombie or whatever corporation X started making a buck off it. I love you.
umm dont mean to rude but, who gives a toss if he can tell who che is or not? the only reason a sizebale chunk of the global population CAN tell who he is is because of that damn photo and the BILLIONs of clueless tools who wear tees with it emblazoned across it as if its some kind of uniform for whatever neo-hippy moralistic club they think theyre a part of. I gurantee you there are several people, revolutionaries or otherwise who were just as, if not more important than che, that you couldnt pick out of a line up...
I fail to see what that quote from X's bio has to do with che, this shirt or anything
that said, without the title written on it somewhere, this design would be seriously misunderstood
and i think it would look better on black, or at least none of those colours
I can only imagine the amount of young american boys buying this shirt without knowing who the hell he is. I see kids every day with the red shirt with his face on it .... It's sad..
..........wick and filete01, you guys must be US-american, ´cause your surroundings sound pretty uneducated. Everybody have their icons; that be Lenin(communist), Bethoven(composer), Maradonna(soccerplayer) or Arnold Schwarzenegger(austrian semi-nazi soon-to-be-politician) and they´re all misplaced or misunderstood. Still, for good or bad, they´re icons and if one´s just a little aware of the surrounding world, you will be able to tell a little story from those icons apearence. That way you see thought and ideas moving and developing. If a teen thinks it´s appropiate to wear a che-tee, it tells you things about that person(probaly that they just hate living in the suburbs), but also of a living idea, still remembered. An observant human looks beond ones own limitations. So have a coke and a smile guys and try talking to that guy with the tee; there could be a story to learn...........................
ok i also object to being called both ignorant and american, since I am neither
and you havent adressed either point: 1) what does X' bio have to do with this shirt 2) an Icon presented out of context (in this case the famous photo) is no longer iconic, I'd like to see you pick a clean-shaven charles darwin, a bald david beckham or a scrawny arnold schwarzenegger
sorry but you're wrong. I'm not "US-American" as you put it so I won't be stereotyping about French people. I also know more about what this really is about than you could ever hope to. What I was saying is that people think that wearing a shirt with a leftist's face on think it is cool when they don't even know this man stood against the capitalist oligarchy and US imperialism they live in. It's just plain wrong and stupid. This only goes to show that people turn a blind eye to the world and live happy in a sea of ignorance. I also don't have anything against any true leftist who would wear a shirt with Emiliano Zapata on his chest or Ernesto Guevara in this case.
HAHAHAHAHA!
