robotRock (or Gundam Calling) Now a 13x19 Glicée Print

It so hard for Chop Shop to resist pop-culture references. Our best received designs thus far have been our weRobot and rockStar tees which contain about 80+ pop-icon references just between the two. So when we came across Gundam Calling an image by Richard Miske on flickr, it was like the gods sending us a signal. Now the tshirt design is also available as a glicée print as well.

What makes this design even more referential than usual is that it pays homage to an album cover that pays homage to yet another album cover. Elvis’ debut album cover is seen above left and The Clash’s epic “London Calling” is to the right. The historic nature of both these records and the fact that there is this visual game shared between the two has led many others to follow the same example hoping just a bit of Elvis and The Clash might rub off on them.
