Gorilla Cop Mens Organic T Shirt

This 100% cotton American Apparel tee has an image of a gorilla cop in full riot gear toting a night stick. The back has the words "the force of example - the example of force". This design was created because the behavior of this primate and certain law enforcement officers is often indistinguishable. Hand silk screened with water-based, solvent free, eco-friendly inks on American made, sweatshop free Tee.

Based in Oakland California, Loretta Nguyen and James Dawson design and produce screen-printed and stenciled t-shirts and appliquéd hoodies. They draw from an urban aesthetic where multi-culturalism and pop culture merge with inner city decay, graffiti and a lo-tech DIY sensibility. “As a culture, we are mixing elements from around the world to create the future. It's important, as Americans, that we see beyond the regression of our recent past and focus on the fact that the world unfolding around us is incredibly exciting” – fiftyseven-thirtythree.
