Upper Playground x Grotesk x HAITI

We all know the first few days after the earthquake in Haiti it dominated the news and our thoughts. Even as the news has moved on, the important work continues in terms of supporting Haitians who are working to rebuild their lives and their country. To that end, Upper Playground has just released a new t-shirt design by artist Grotesk. All proceeds will be going to the Yéle Haiti Foundation.
