Intergalactic Artistic Shirts

This Star Wars Parody Tee From MissionThread Re-Imagines a Classic

— February 12, 2014 — Fashion
Make classic American art more galactic and awesome with this Star Wars parody tee shirt.

On this men's shirt are two great American works of art brought together for you and your friends and family to behold. An intergalactic space opera about the struggles of living under and defeating an oppressive empire and a famous depiction of old time Americana are now intertwined to make a hilarious Star Wars parody tee.

On the front of this quirky fashion statement is a screen print of Grant Wood's famous painting 'American Gothic.' Painted art has been parodied many times because of its fame. Some people even see the parodies before the real thing. The creator of this shirt 'MissionThread' has made one alteration to the original. The heads of the farmer and his wife are Storm Trooper helmets from Star Wars.
