One of my favorite imgs from the last year of war protests, and anti-protest-protests.



Is now immortalized in Activewear for your consumption.



Buy 'em here.

For some stupid reason, it's against ebay policy for me to use the phrase "Specify size. S-XXL available" even in a multiple items listing. So if you order, just let me know what size via email.

Edit: woops, fixed link.

Update: buy direct from my site via paypal: http://chrisvreeland.com/MoranShirt.html

Sure. White, white, and white.

Maybe later if there's a groundswell, but for now, I'm going with the Henry Ford approach.

Bright idea!

yeah, you definitely want to get some beaters done. Think about it: you need to reach your target market where they are going to be most receptive.

I eat too much red pasta sauce for a white tee. But I applaud the effort all the same.

I hate to rain on your parade, but you have a potential lawsuit on your hands from a couple of sources. The first lawsuit could come from the photographer who took that photo. The creator of the photograph has copyrights on the image, or if the photographer was working for a news agency (like a newspaper or the Associated Press), the copyright belongs to the respective organization. The other lawsuit could come from the guy holding the sign. You are using his likeness to make money. Unless you're the photographer, and you had him sign a release, you can't use his image to put money in your pockets.

Make all the t-shirts you want, but I'd recommend pulling the image.

The image is hosted on about 400 different servers, with no attribution anywhere. At worst, the owner might issue a cease and desist if they don't like it, at which point, I'll cease and desist. If I could track down the original photographer, I would.
