The Coolest T-shirt We Don’t Print

wiki book 2After seeing this hilarious book-bound print out of Wikipedia, I decided to check out the artist’s homepage. I wasn’t disappointed. While Rob Matthews has tons of inventive pieces, my favorite was this t-shirt he made of his friend Travis. It looks ridiculous on the shirt (and as a poster), but it’s great on this guy’s head.

Here’s the artist statement: 

After studying abroad I had to leave one of my best friends in Minneapolis. As a joke I produced t-shirts and posters to give to my friends back home, so whenever I missed Travis, they’d put them on and pretend to be him. 

For more of Rob’s work, click here, via the always terrific Neatorama. Oh, and if you’re looking for cool shirts that don’t have Travis’ face on them, be sure to check out our own selection at the mental_floss store.

  1. wow – that reminds me of joy t-shirts. you buy a t-shirt of a random person’s face from around the world and the guy that makes the t-shirts gives you a few facts about the person. When you send in your payment for the t-shirt he asks for a picture of you and a few facts about yourself so someone else can wear your face.

  5. I’m actually wearing my Flossy shirt while reading this Flossy article!! It’s the “Hobbits are Tolkien Minorities.”

    I love it. (Was called a hobbit in high school because I’m really short 4′11″)

    :o)
