This is not an anti-gun design let’s clarify

Everything is chaos and it feels pretty good lol. I mean, other than the nightly doom spirals about my lease expiring in a few months... but designing and connecting with people through art really feels like I'm more on the right path than I've ever been.

Anyway, here's a design I am putting out soon. Based off a sketch I originally did when I was like 12 or 13. On the back it has #stoptheviolence. And let me make this clear. I like guns just as much as the next guy this is not an anti-gun shirt. This is simply an anti-violence shirt.

My original thought was this was something they did in the 60s, when guns were getting aimed at anti-war protesters that were protesting peacefully, and there is an iconic photo floating around on the web of a man placing a flower in the barrel of a gun being pointed at him and I just really like that message. Plus I like mixing soft and hard aesthetics.
