    Nice. I love it when you can capture the essence of something with such simple images.

    where can we get this shirt? This show's how far we have COME!!!!
  • Wizeguyztees · 1 year ago
    What a funny design. I love it. I would buy this in a second. Too bad no one has done it yet. I like how you did a non t shirt related post. It is cool to see you throw this one out there.

    thanks so much Dutch, I'm sometimes a bit millitant about posting t-shirts but when I see great illustration I like to see if there is demand for it, in fact why am I not doing that more? shit, I think I just had an idea!

    I would buy this. Or as a poster. Would be great for schoolkids and teachers.

    Hey Matt, isn't that Etsy design just a rip off of Patrick's illustration? Are you the one selling it?
  • Tony · 1 year ago
    My company DFRNT Apparel has had a similar design for sale since before the election, despite that, I wonder if Patrick realizes his design is being ripped of like this, I'll try to notify him, here's a link to the shirt we've been selling http://www.bedfrnt.com/product/dfrnt-presidents...
  • karllong · 1 year ago
    Yes, please do, I don't have email for him and have tried to contact him a couple of times through his web form to offer to license it and also tell him he's getting ripped off :-( BTW love the DFRNT version, can you email me proper photos of the T and i'll write about it, cheers! you can email me at karl dot long at gmail dot com

    Karl, I've already contacted Patrick and he responded with an appreciative thank you, I also went a step further and complained to ETSY about the product indicating that blatant copyright infringement goes against ETSY's artist made policy. As four our T, I will provide you with some proper photos later tonight.

    No Im not the one selling theT was just crusing some stores and happened to notice it. Cant believe how blatant they were about ripping it off.

    How awful that this ripping off is happening! I actually know the artist! Well, indirectly. Wait for it...my friend 's (who is a graphic designer) coworker's brother. A bunch of us got it in an e-mail the day after the election. It would ABSOLUTELY make a fantastic t-shirt that I would undoubtedly buy. And I know a bunch of other people who would because it was the highlight of our November 5th. Well, that and still riding a very high wave of the fantastic moment that was the night before...and still is 17 days later. :D

    I would love to print it license it from the artist, we provide an ongoing payment for as long as it's selling. We always make sure the product is a great print, and promote the artist as much as the shirt itself.

    If it makes you feel any better, the ETSY shop hasn't been selling it since I contacted them. As artists we always have to watch out for this stuff and enforce our copyrights.

    This would make a great t-shirt; I'd buy it!
