This sweatshirt design is hand drawn by Artist JoeFur, showing AI ‘art’ the middle finger, while simultaneously telling the world what transportation choice is king….the bicycle.
Every garment is printed with love and attention by the awesome Dogorse & Co Printworks. These clothing items are far from the ‘print on demand’, throwaway fashion. We go to great lengths to ensure the clothing is the highest quality, with the lowest environmental impact.
The sweatshirt is made from 100% certified organic ringspun combed cotton and is 280gsm fabric weight. It has a french terry inner, heringbone taped neck, half moon back yoke and a dropped shoulder style, for a baggy fit. Wow, did you realise we could even be tech with our clothing? The abbreviation for all this nerd talk – it is a great quality sweatshirt!
To help you understand sizing the picture shows an XL sweatshirt being worn by someone that is 6′ 2″ or 188cm and weighs 10 1/2 stone or 67kg. Full sizing information is in the picture gallery, make sure you look at this to ensure you buy the correct size.
The Story behind the design
The Ride & Resist concept drawing was dreamt up by Tom Rebellion Bike. The idea behind the design was the need for the world to move away from their car-fuelled mindset and onto one that is centred around the bicycle. Many car journeys consisting of a 20 mile round-trip or less can be replaced by a bike, whether a ‘normal’ bike or an electric bike. This would ease congestion, hugely reduce pollution and make us all healthier.
The powerful imagery of junk car parts and an oil drum fire, with a defiant fist clenching bike handlebars in flames, was a perfect match for Joefur, the first artist commissioned for Rebellion Clothing.
Joefur draws his work by hand and manages to somehow create collages of intricate items, where the more you look, the more you see. Joe is well known in the underground art scene across Europe, though especially in London and Bristol. He is a co-founder of the Minesweeper collective, has completed countless illustrations for the underground music scenes, murals and sign-writing seen in many pubs and clubs as well as a physical presence at many art exhibitions. His skill with a Sharpie or Posca pen is second to none and you can see how his style rocks in this first Rebellion Clothing release.
We don’t need AI drawings, we need to support human artists.

High Resolution Image Download
You can download the full size, high-res image on the link below. Why? Because not everyone wants clothing and the art is awesome and should be enjoyed by as many as possible. Though please remember, there are human artists behind these images. Even though they have been paid fairly by Rebellion Bike for producing the image, they would also benefit from a tip as surviving on earnings from art is no small feat.
