We Love the Frank Spirit of This Marena Skinner T-Shirt, and We Want One

We’re a pretty satisfied bunch, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t covetous. Sometimes we see things out there that we just must have. Cool Things We Want is an archive of those earthly desires.

We want this unapologetically DIY punk statement t-shirt by local artist, Marena Skinner (crack a six-pack and read our interview with her here). The shirts – produced in very limited quantity – are screenprinted by Skinner herself and sold for $18 each. Beyond that, the shirt says it all and we doubt there are many Vancouverites who would argue with it.

Get yours here.
