Trent Call T-shirts
What makes it unique » Call needs no introduction among Salt Lake City’s art cognoscenti. And while the artist’s commissioned work doesn’t come at budget prices these days, his unique style of combining cartoon humor with street graffiti flair can be had for a song on T-shirts and other apparel at Blonde Grizzly. T-shirts are available in multiple colors and sizes, and even under a parka or jeans jacket they sport a mischievous look. If you don’t care for Call’s art, you can always spring for shirts by the "Panda Propaganda" instead.
Where to buy it » Blonde Grizzly art gallery and retail space, 213 E. 200 South, Salt Lake City; 801-355-9075 or www.blondegrizzly.com.
Price » $20 and up
Whom to give to » The tweens, teens or 20-somethings in your life who want something — anything! — different from what their friends already bought at Hot Topic.
