The Andrea Crews Crying Animal t-shirt collection has some artsy tees that provoke thought too. The shirts are created by art collective Andrea Crews and feature the faces of a polar bear, tiger and wolf crying with the art collective’s name printed across the bottom of the front of the shirt.
The shirts draw your eye because of the animal face, but they provoke thoughts because of the tears dripping from the animals’ eyes. Naturally, one thinks of animal rights and animal cruelty when confronted with such an image. These shirts manage to get across a delicate and politically charged matter without shoving it in your face.
The Andrea Crews Crying Animal t-shirt collection is a part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection. You can order them from the Andrea Crews online store.
