I Like Getting Food on My T-Shirts at Fantastic Blognanza!

2K’s goal is “to gain recognition by the people through [their] vision of presenting artistic uniquities by artists [they] have met and become fond of.” Sounds pretty fine and dandy to me! Each order comes with a t-shirt man keychain, which is pretty nifty. It seems to be made out of some pretty sturdy rubber-like material and looks like this:

Of all the 86 artists whose t-shirt art they print, I am particularly fond of the work of Marc Atlan (see all his t-shirts at 2K here). Even more specifically, I love his fast food series. They have this great “painted” style to them. Here are my top 5 favorites:

Hotdog!

Maybe it’s because I’m from Chicago that the hot dog t-shirt is my favorite… I’m just glad there’s mustard, and not ketchup on it, because that is just plain wrong.

And here’s Superdawg (I’ve been there, too! The eyes of the ‘Superdawg’ and the ‘Maidendawg’ (I just made that one up) light up at night. It’s pretty fantastic!), which has been a drive-in since 1940:
