Mike Perry is a designer and an artist. His works are very urban and, in my opinion, he is one of the main references in contemporary visual art.

Parry has given us a present: we can make our own t-shirts with his designs. This is an opportunity to make your own [trendy t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order). Mike Perry's book 'Iron Me On' offers 30 sheets of awesome fabric transfers that you can iron onto your own t-shirt!

If you are someone who loves to [combine art and fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-x-albino-preto), this book is for you. Buy this book and be the coolest, trendiest man or woman on the street. You don't need a lot of money -- only your creativity, an iron and this book.
