Dog Peeing / Luminous Fountain Shirt

I don’t need to say much about this other than yes, this is an Ernie Bushmiller comic alongside a quote from the artist Bruce Nauman.

Bushmiller is known for his comic strip “Nancy”, although this was made for a cartoonist’s trade publication. Bruce Nauman is an American artist who “seems to be fascinated by the nature of communication and language’s inherent problems, as well as the role of the artist as supposed communicator and manipulator of visual symbols” (wikipedia).

Bushmiller’s design was widely bootlegged on a variety of novelty items, and this shirt carries on in that disreputable tradition. My combo design is a slight revision of this same design I made for my junk shop in 2006.

Shirts are printed in black on “natural” color (unbleached) Gildan 100% cotton shirts. This would be a great shirt to tie-dye, or stain with spaghetti sauce, engine grease, and good old-fashioned dirt, or simply to wear for years until it’s as thin as chiffon.
