[T]o me it's not about eating at all! it's all about stirring, maybe even causing a commotion. people are loading trash into their brains with watching TV, living a consumer-zombie life, and maybe we can do something about that, wake them up.This description is from a Threadless "blog" about the design.
On a personal level: keep on moving, work on it, dig deeper, ask difficult questions, maybe find something in there you can't deal with yourself, then go talk to somebody about it, get some therapy maybe, but don't let bad stuff just sit there to rust and influence your life negatively.

Wow, I am so glad this tee-shirt was printed, because I never in a million years could've gone to someone else's website and download someone else's Photoshop brushes and then just slap them all over a tee-shirt with some generic shield symbol behind it. I mean, really, how long did it take to d othis shirt? Like a whole 5 minutes? I wonder what this site would look like if it had real designers making real designs? Gee, I don't know, maybe, a lot better!I'm not sure if this comment was from the artist himself, or a weird mis-association error by Threadless. Either way, it's rather true in terms of generic designs. Misprinted Type still exists, and still has free brushes.

I designed this back in the day when it was a lot easier to get printed at Threadless. It was 2001 I think? It was part of something I designed for DesignForFreedom, an awesome project run by my friend Gabe, which isn't up anymore. Gabe is actually the one who designed our ill-fated "I Am Analog" tee. Anyway, here's my design. Maybe one day we'll reprint it!From an archived page of IFD-Lab.com (now defunct): "The idea for this came from thinking about traditional symbols of American freedom. People, icons and imagery all played part in the inspiration for creating this project."

mindless pursuit of its desire.

This was part of the Prate™ Parody Pack. I don't remember why we made this one into a shirt, but it was another Dreamless insider thing.This is the 4th Prate design, if you weren't keeping track.
I do a lot of works with maps and cartography. This was a piece I did several years ago (I think 2001)... and shortly after, I collaborated with J. Davis to make an digital piece for the Whitney Museum's ARTPORT. It was based on the artwork from this shirt. You can view it here -- click "launch"This is my favorite of Prate designs.
