The most American thing about his pic is that he's scared to actually write "Bank of America" in case he gets sued
Alex Schaefer does write the actual names of the bank in the art, which is fair artistic use and as far as I know he's never been sued for it. Obviously you can't just put the banks names and logos on the back of a shirt and sell it but also, that would be counter to the point of the shirt which is to obviously satirize the names.
Understandable. He could draw a few flames to hide it instead.
Or he could actually stop being a pussy, actually write it, get sued and draw attention to the problem?
True, but it takes big balls. By doing so, you're provoking a big corporation that has all the resources to destroy your life.
Actually draws back to a reply I got earlier.
In other countries, the corporations wouldn't be able to do this because the people would be behind the artist

We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got our lives to lose

In many capitalist/right-wing countries like the US, more often than not, money is king.
In many
There's just two mate, that's far from normal
I hope this guy has a solid alibi if that bank ever goes up in flames one day
Art imitates life?
life, uh.. finds a way
Found the shirt!
Edit: Ah these are just American banks. Would be nice to slap a big ol' Deutsche Bank on here too in the largest possible font.
Getting a custom printed T isn't that difficult tbh, you can open your fav image editing software, slap down the text tool, export to .PNG and you got yourself a usable file to send to a company that does screenprints
And slap Spermbank as reference to Sberbank
Douche bank
If Well's Fargo needs horses to pull their tank, I don't think you need to worry too much about the tank.
The accuracy of that painting could be improved...
Depict they have closed the doors for lunch, at 11:23a. Customers forced to use the ATMs outside. And, oh, the agony - as it unnecessarily captures their ATM cards. And turn away in a walk-of-shame.
This guy is awesome.
He does it to all the chase banks.
