Hello Printsomers!
Like every Tuesday, here we are again with the latest episode of our most popular series, #TshirtTuesday! Where we feature up-and-coming personalised T-shirt brands and interview the designers behind them.
This time around we bring you Amoy and her brand Capital POP. There are a lot of clothing lines out there that try to satirise the current political climate, but they hardly ever have sharp graphics such as this one.
I hope you enjoy our newest #TshirtTuesday!
