WARNING:
L-13 screen-prints are not slick lifestyle products: more the work of vandals,  hooligans and artists than interior designers. These prints have the requisite amount of misprint and offsetting, overprinting and physical abrasion. They may have additional finger prints, smudges, tears, dents, creased edges and other marks that bare testimony to their making. The hip will find this beautiful and the squares will find it abhorrent.

*Détournement: A détournement (French: [detuʁnəmɑ̃]), meaning “rerouting, hijacking” in French, is a technique developed in the 1950s by the Letterist International, and later adapted by the Situationist International (SI), that was defined in the SI’s inaugural 1958 journal as “[t]he integration of present or past artistic productions into a superior construction of a milieu”.
 
**Recuperation: In the sociological sense, recuperation is the process by which politically radical ideas and images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed, defused, incorporated, annexed and commodified within media culture and bourgeois society, and thus become interpreted through a neutralized, innocuous or more socially conventional perspective. More broadly, it may refer to the cultural appropriation of any subversive works or ideas by mainstream culture. It is the opposite of détournement, in which images and other cultural artefacts are appropriated from mainstream sources and repurposed with radical intentions.
