Used to think a lot of these guys until I found this. Do you consider this original?

The tshirt images are from CXXVI.net which is a cool apparel site that talks about original artwork and hand lettering/design. But I just found this image where someone dug out all of the images that copied and threw on a tshirt. I dunno - just seems very unoriginal now.

It's just repurposed Americana. Everyone does this and no, it's not original, but they aren't really claiming that. These hipsters hope you recognize their direct inspiration and will pay for it.
- exactly, if you didn't recognize it in the first place that's more the problem********
- All this anger just because I didn't know how to embed an image. I feel sorry for you bro. Your life sucks.alwaysrare

Well said, Mono. But they're kind of claiming it's original and trashing some buddies of mine on Twitter. Basically laying claim to the style and owning the pen and paper feel. Utterly ridiculous.
