This tee suggestion/critique is not from an independent t-shirt company, or some big well known brand. Today I wanted to put up a tee which is a little different than what I have done in the past.
Brother Ali is an American Hip Hop artist who transcends all boundaries and rules. He is white, slightly overweight, Albino, legally blind, Muslim, and oh yeah one hell of an artist! In September 2009 he released his album, "Us". Brother Ali is the type of musician who after listening to you will ask yourself why have I not heard about him before.
I recently went to a concert of his, my first, and had an insane time. A while back I saw for the first time the cover art for his latest album, "Us", and I fell in love with it. So when I went to the show and saw it printed on a tee I had to pick it up. The use of the geometric shapes to form the word "us" and the unity in the picture of life both between humans and nature is what really attracts me to this artwork. This shirt has a lot of harmony in it with people of all age, race, and gender. Putting it onto a t-shirt only makes this album artwork available for all to see.
I must admit I am not huge on black t-shirts but for me this just works perfectly. I especially enjoy the use of red for the leaves in the plant. You can buy "Us" for $17.99, I did. Check out his music and if your into that and the "Us" t-shirt certainly pick one up.
Remember, "There's no me and no you. It's just us." Enjoy!
