About the artist
This design was first seen when it was produced by us as an A2 screen print for Pete McKee’s This Class Works, exhibition based around the treatment and perceptions of the working classes by the government. The design attempted to create a duality in reading; to be either deregatory or as a call to arms.
We’re lucky that Nick has agreed to collaborate with us in reproducing this amazing design onto white 100% organic FairTrade® cotton T-shirts.
