Boing Boing t-shirt by COOP
Less than two weeks after we announced the limited edition Boing Boing t-shirt by COOP, my sources at Coopstuff.com inform me that supplies are already dwindling. Seen here is the gentleman artist modeling his own creation. These terrific tees are available in men's and women's sizes in black (with glow-in-the-dark ink!) or blue.Link

Yes! Got mine a couple days ago. Great shirt, wonderful quality! And COOP!!
Well... I don't have one of those shirts, but I do have that poster!
Looks like only women's sizes left. sob...
@Ameta4 (#3), It looks like they still have men's left! You just use the drop-down menu to pick your size.
Great work, but I can't help noting that the style draws heavily on the Betty Page iconography. I know the Boing-Boing crowd likes to acknowledge the source, so it seems you should donate some of the proceeds of this fine work to Ms. Page, who, still alive, is not adverse to receiving such compensation. Ms. Page may be reached via the Robert Bane Gallery or Ms. Olivia de Berardinis, an artist that has worked extensively with Ms. Page. A google search will put you in touch with either one.
Thanks David! I stand corrected.
The size choices sucked ... People are bigger these days.
@Jenniferfolly(#5) Artists should have an expectation of compensation when they're a *source of inspiration*? Seriously?
@Santos (#7), the size choices "sucked" because they're too small? They went up to XXL for men, which is what I wear, and XL for women.
@TCONKLING(#7) Your reading of my post is in error. The artist is using the iconic image of Ms. Page herself for gain (profit, notoriety, status, ...?). Ms. Page doesn't know me from Eve, but I can assure you that, while SHE does not attempt to restrict the use of her image, she does not refuse monetary acknowlegment for such use; she may have fame, but she does not have fortune. The mentioned artist and gallery do compenstate Ms. Page, and are mentioned, merely, as conduits to Ms. Page (who keeps her whereabouts unknown).
The Boing-Boing posts in this regard are schizophrenic: raging against corporate copyright strategies, but ragging on people who obliquely or directly appropriate other's work. I hate DCMA and rip offs, but think that you should pay for what you eat and should be able to eat (in whatever fashion) what you buy. DTRT.
