Hairy t-shirts – plagiarism or coincidence?
There’s a cool band from the UK called Part Chimp who, in 2006, came out with a t-shirt design featuring a really hairy face on it as a means of promoting their album “I am come.”
Next, last spring, I saw that this clothing label called Brown Sound released a t-shirt called “Uncle Kyle” featuring an equally impressive amount of hair as a moustache/mouth/beard combo.
Now, I just found on Threadless, a t-shirt entitled “Lions Are Smarter Than I Am” designed by a dude named Keith Carter featuring a glasses-wearing lion with some serious mane action.
To me, there are neat similarities between these three but maybe you disagree. Kind of neat anyway.
Part Chimp “I am come” 2006.
Brown Sound “Uncle Kyle” 2008.
Keith Carter “Lions Are Smarter Than I Am” 2008.
