Gentlemen

I created these four designs for the show 'Disco Coppertone' organized by Locus Athens (Maria-Thalia Carras and Sophia Tournikiotis) in Greece. The curators printed them up on mugs, T-shirts and tote bags that were sold at their temporary exhibition space, the cruise ship departure lounge in Piraeus, the port of Athens visited by tourists on their way to their first holiday destinations on the Aegean sea.
