this tee is inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘A Man without a Country’ which I’ve been reading recently.
A free-thinking cynical bugger who wrote stuff that makes you think. Here’s a snippet:
“Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn’t the TV news is it? Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we’re hooked on…Don’t spoil the party, but here’s the truth: We have squandered our planet’s resources, including air and water, as though there were no tomorrow, so now there isn’t going to be one.” – Kurt Vonnegut

Animo is a Melbourne-based Designer of T-Shirts with a dash of contrarian attitude. These designs are often inspired by days where I find myself wishing for a reprieve from our consumerism saturated culture and superficial, biased media analysis. So, I design these tees to get it off my chest. And hopefully on to yours.

Yikes, remind me not to have Kurt over for dinner… all that honesty might sour the pudding! ;p
Great shirt though! :D
Don’t worry I won’t invite him. Kurt is up in heaven now.

I just got that today; I’m going to start reading tomorrow. I hear great things about him.
it’s a great book. among other things (which I won’t spoil for you!) i loved the bit suing Brown & Williamson Tobacco Co. for not killing him as they promise to on their Pall Mall packet ; )
