I'm not affiliated with the company that is making these, but I have been an admirer of the artist (Dave Deal) since I was a kid. If you've ever picked up a car magazine, then you've more than likely seen his work. He has been doing wild caricatures that have been used in advertising and magazine articles for decades. He even did the funky Armor-All viking character that graced the bottles for many years (before they finally replaced it with a much more boring viking version). He also did the Deal's Wheels line of cartoony car and plane model kits that were produced by Revell in the 70's. Anyway, he has penned an '05 GT caricature that is being used for these T-shirts, they are available in several colors here:

Good ol' "Big" Deal... He's amazing. My favorite artwork from him is probably the Seinfeld Porsche or the two Datsuns with the owner. Not sure if those are in that website

 

He is a great artist, I've followed his work for years,

 

How did you know about the Seinfeld artwork? That was supposed to be top secret I have a web site that is devoted to some of the wacky 70's car kits like Deal's Wheels and MPC Zingers, and I've gotten to know Deal over the years (the T-shirt venture is actually some other company that I'm not familiar with, but they're doing this with Deal's blessing). Seinfeld emailed me thinking I was Deal because of my web site. The email was funny because of it's sterility, something like "Due to my success in the comedy industry, I find myself in a position to purchase some of your artwork." I forwarded his email to Deal not even knowing if it really was Seinfeld or not. Turns out it was, and Deal did two pieces for him (both of Jerry driving Porsches). Deal sent me pics of the artwork, but said Seinfeld owned the copyrights and therefore I couldn't post them on my site. They are cool though!

 

Really good story!
I'm gonna look for that link and I'll post it

Cool! Thanks for the links! I didn't know he had posted those on his site.

Dave has done some really awesome artwork for the military too, they used it on stationary for quite a while. Oh, and the upcoming movie "Cars" by Pixar, he designed all the vehicles in it. I think it'll be out in November. Not sure if there are any Mustangs featured
