All Hops No Hate Tee

Michelle Frost is a lifelong artist who has fallen in love with the American Traditional Tattoo style of drawing. After coming out at a very young age, drawing was her outlet for anxious thoughts and creativity. It has grown to be a way of recentering and finding peace. At age 34, she drew all the designs for her clothing brand, East Coast Tags, which prints colorless pride apparel. All designs from the brand consider fashion and safety, with the intent to start meaningful conversations about the LGBTQIA+.

Her design for this year’s All Hops No Hate features two swallows holding hop stems. Inspiration for the design came from learning many sailors would get swallow tattoos after traveling long journeys and safely returning home. The LBGTQIA+ community has certainly come from an extremely far way, in our pursuit for equal rights, representation, safety and acceptance. Though our work isn’t done, this year’s Pride takes a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come and be thankful to those who put in the work to bring us to this point.

Printed on a black Comfort Colors tee.
