And I just couldn’t resist. I rasterized a bunch of the covers to use for my desktop background. I made a bunch, so I figured I’d share them with all the other nerds out there. Below is a preview of what’s in the zip.

Very cool concept, and the resulting shirts look pretty cool, too.

As they say on their site: “The starting point for the concept was the issues around the damaging effects of landmines. 200 T-shirts were folded up, each in a unique way, and then printed on. The T-shirts were sold folded and vacuumed packed; only upon attempting to use the T-shirt will the graphics “explode” – literally in the hands of the buyer.”
