INSPIRATIONS BEHIND MOUNT KUSHMORE


MOUNT KUSHMORE DESIGN

We have received alot of compliments regarding our shirt design ideas so we decided to elaborate a little more on the inpsiration behind our shirt concepts.  This design was created by T.W.I.N.E. Hempwear artist Tik "Tik $" Sisokda out of San Diego, CA... Like many of our design concepts, it arose while having a smoke session and Mount Rushmore was mentioned while talking.  The pot icons pictured in the design were not finalized until later but we felt we had to use people that all marijuana smokers could related to or recognize.  We wanted these icons to the legends of legends when deciding on who to use which is why Bob Marley, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson and Jimi Hendrix ended up being used in the design.  We were going to use 5 people but that would have taken away from the actual parody effect of the real Mount Rushmore.
