Fantastic Blognanza!

Hey, look! It’s a shirt! A green shirt about trees and people and people’s penchant for abusing trees!

Man Made Earth at Origin68: £19

A somewhat cynical consciousness of humanity’s more disturbing, almost involuntary habits—such as its tendency to stamp nature’s face into the ground with its horrible boots of death and stomping—permeates many of Origin68’s designs. I don’t use “cynical” in a reproachful tone, though, since, frankly, it’s difficult not to be when pondering such things. Origin68 describes this shirt as the first in a series of “man-made” shirts, so look out for future juxtapositions of nature and spurious symbols of worth (viz., the barcode¹).

Those wary of rampant consumerism might also want to check out Origin68’s Consume Everything, which derides people’s tendency to spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need in order to obtain things that can’t be bought. Aah, my head!

A small note: Origin68’s website is cumbersome to navigate, but I am confident that you will manage. Small hint: use the Gallery page to navigate between the designs. It is faster and sexier.
