Rock On

Option-g T-shirts

For those about to rock, we salute you.

For those who just got done rocking, well, you’re great, too.

We all reach that age when it comes time to take the band posters down from the bedroom walls. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still be cool. Just throw on one of Michelle Madden’s and Cole Gerst’s Option-g T-shirts.

Gerst, the renowned designer who’s created posters for everyone from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to TV on the Radio, makes wearable designs that are just as hip as his poster and album art, filled with irony (“Winning the war against trees”), humor (a bear contemplates a dumpster, dreaming of burgers and fries), and even a few of your favorite musical references (“Phone is ringing, oh my God”).

The site also sells awesome limited-edition posters. Take a gander at these and you may well decide you’re young enough to hang them up, after all.

In which case, we definitely salute you.
