Love old games? Or just generally proud of your gaming vernacular and prowess? Check out these simple understated prints at Gameskins. By using classic game user interfaces as iconographic images, their prints inspire and invoke a sense of nostalgia. But not only do they recall the images of gaming's not so distant past, they also take common elements from gaming culture and represent them in a manner that is both reminiscent and stylistically communicable to those in the know.

Original Fake Two Fingers T-Shirt
A deceivingly funny t-shirt from Kaws using his trademark Mickey Mouse-esque cartoon hands, it just about sums up the complicated set of feelings I have about New York City (and everything else) these days.
