Is what Prate™ by Jemma Gura aka lentil
I don't think this shirt would make much sense to anyone who wasn't either a Dreamless member or a Prate™ fan, but this was the very first Threadless shirt. The Jakes asked me to design a Prate tee for them after they came up with the idea of Threadless... so I tried to make something that was relevant to all of our 'online friends' at the time. That audience has obviously changed quite a bit and I don't think the average Threadless participant today would have any idea "is what Prate".
Best I can figure, Prate is a design website, and now not very much alive. Sure, it's there, but no one has updated it since 2001ish, if the first page is any indication ("Information or September 2001."). And what is Dreamless? Seems like another something that faded into the internet of the past.
