Flower power: It’s explosive

There’s a bunch of great and undiscovered designers floggin’ their wares on ebay.com.au. This fine specimen packs some real punch…

It’s a design sold exclusively on ebay by Nikdenim, an Aussie online fashion retailer. The print featured on this white t-shirt is very topical to present day society, without being too blatantly political.

A graphic (all-too-familiar) image of a young lout hurling molotov cocktails, has been manipulated to instead portray a young lover-not-a-fighter hurling a bunch of colourful petal-bearing plants into the breeze. Some may argue that the whole concept is a little too ‘flowery’ for their liking, but hey, any shirt that flares up an argument in the first place is worthy of some air-play, right?

Nikdenim also stocks a variety of other funky items including jeans, wristbands, necklaces and the like. If you’ve got a few minutes to kill, and a few spare dollars to play with, jump on ebay now and have a gander.

(If you’re trying to locate this shirt on eBay and having no luck, highlight and copy the following text FUNKY STENCIL THROW FLOWER T-SHIRT, click here to visit ebay, paste the text into the ebay search box and hit the Search button. Kapow, you’re in business!)

Now that’s cool… people need more flowers thrown at them, not Molotov cocktails!

BTW, I think there should be more coverage on Aussie retailers/designs… it’s kinda exxy to buy T-shirts overseas and pay like $20+ postage.

Maybe I’m just overseas-averse… but I like buying stuff locally.

Hey Chris

I agree. Buying t-shirts in one’s mother country is always a good way to save a few bucks…not to mention a great way to support and encourage local industry.

There’ll be plenty more Aussie threads up on T-Shirt Alert in no time…check out Jeremyville’s fine artwork if you need any Aussie fix immediately.

Cheers

That design is by British Graphiti artist Banksy http://www.banksy.co.uk

Any shirts that have Banksy designs on them are not sponsored or endorsed by Banksy. They’re rip-offs of his designs, which is pretty lame, in my opinion.

He says on his website FAQ (http://www.banksy.co.uk/help/index.html):
“Do you sell t-shirts?
i don’t make shirts because it would feel like the painting was a guerilla marketing campaign for a fashion label.”
