2377 3 Picassos FBI File by Loyalty And Blood [Rumplo Rocks]

Let me start this post by apologising, because this tee sold out over a month ago, but I didn’t find out about it until a couple of days ago, so there wasn’t really a lot that I could do.

When the FBI release files under the Freedom of Information Act they often blank out certain pieces of information that it has been decided need to be kept secret, usually the most exciting parts, which can often result in files that look like the one in the t-shirt about the FBI file of Pablo Picasso (whose birth name was… “Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso”). I really like the like the idea of an administrative file about an artist becoming art itself.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for posting our tee on your blog! We took this down for a bit since it we realized we probably should not call it the Picasso FBI File tee since we do not have the rights to use Picasso’s name. We have retitled it as a Declassified FBI File, which we further explain that it is Picasso’s FBI file in our product description.
    It is available from us on our Etsy site:

    Thanks for dropping by, I hadn’t thought that you wouldn’t be allowed to use someones name when its from a public domain document, but who knows nowadays with the way that lawsuits fly around, so it is probably better to be safe than sorry.
