We’re cleaning out the closet at Global Graphica HQ to make room some new gear. So we’re parting with yet more beloved graphic tees and documenting them with a short series of pix and posts.

Included in the set are t-shirts designed by Paul Smith (below), We are the Superlative Conspiracy (WESC), Build by Wendy, and Icelandic artist Jón Sæmundur, who hand-prints his “bird” images onto American Apparel tees at his Reykjavik studio called Dead Gallery/Studio.
