Slightly Offensive Tee-Shirts? Yes Please
Edited by Corey Moran
We Being Brand is a highly dangerous fashion insurgency spearheaded by avant-garde artist Jackson Warhol and the fledgling author Dante Calvino. Well, those aren’t their real names. The creators of We Being Brand have had to assume nome de guerres because of the extremely subversive subject matter broadcast across their tee shirts and this website. Members of their own families have threatened violence, divorce, and disownership if Jackson and Dante ever submit their actual names to the public. Neurotic Italian-Americans, uppity Irish-American holy rollers, the majority of their family members were deeply offended by the cynical sarcasm of the We Being Brand pronunciamento. Dante’s mother had a nervous breakdown, drank a liter of vodka, and then performed forty-four thousand Hail Mary’s in the name of her son’s soul after first gazing eyes on the See Jane Suck design. Upon reading the smearing of his good name on the About Us and FAQ sections of the We Being Brand website, Jackson’s father shaved his beard and head, sold his Porsche, and just about signed his fortune over to the Unification Church before Jackson’s younger brother Nelson was granted guardianship over their father by the courts and successfully had him hypnotized back into his old, antique pen-collecting self, thus saving the family fortune.
Okay, that’s their site bio, here’s what we’ve got on the designers. We Being Brand is a company owned by Eugenio Volpe (a writer) and Thomas Deininger (an artist) that specializes in unique artistic designs and slightly offensive ones more importantly. Thomas Deininger, a famous sculptor, has his work on display in New York City at 325 5th Avenue in New York City. Many of Deininger’s designs are a direct reflection of his art and the t-shirt company is more like a fun off-shoot for the designing friends.
We’re completely addicted to the offensive tees and by next week Daniel Saynt plans to own everyone.
