Oh, how I do love the sadly honest and brutally beautiful anti-war tee.
This unnamed design (without its own link) by the Royal Art Lodge can be found on (Im)Perfect Articles and on the back of anyone brave enough to wear it and possibly get a bloody nose.
I for one am willing.

Not for nothing, but one word on this shirt really bothers me. “Had”. Noone *has* to go to war. Both figuratively and literally. It is, after all, a voluteer military here in the good ol’ U S of A. But it is a nice shirt. Makes you think and isn’t over-the-top, like a lot of protest media is. Says what it has to and moves on. Well done.
Good point Sean, but joining the army in modern days doesn’t always assume your going off to war, nor is it marketed that way, but if your in the army, and you’re shipped off, you are pretty much compelled. I was in the British Army, and as luck would have it the first gulf war kicked off as I was a year into my service (3 years minimum), I had to go to war. Luckily for me it was a far more manageable conflict with better defined goals, and we were in and out in exactly 3 months.
Also, totally agree with you about the subtlety of the design as opposed to a lot of protest media, this is understated and I really appreciate that touch.
My brother graduated from the marines 3 days after 911, he joined before the whole mess started and when it was all said and done he HAD to go to war. He had not a clue what he was getting himself into.
Aw, heck. I started a t-shirt blog a month or so ago and just now found this site. Yours is much better than mine.
Maybe we can do a link exchange? I’d like to ad you to my blogroll either way, if that’s ok.
I dig yer site.

No problem Clutch, link away, and just keep working at it. Good idea to try and differentiate yourself, do something different, pick an angle, and go for it.
After being in 2 diffrent combat situations and watching these young men and women who “joined up” for an education wind up dead or worse. The design is all about the reality of war.
Thank you Bill.
