Truck art is a form of traditional folk art and decoration that adorns trucks, buses, and other transportation in Pakistan. In the 20th century, Pakistani truck drivers began to personalize their vehicles with intricately painted designs, using bright colors, patterns, and even poetry to express their individual style. Many artists draw inspiration from traditional Pakistani symbols, calligraphy, as well as contemporary pop culture references.
Drivers spent long hours on the road and wanted to make their truck feel more like home by decorating it to become an extension of themselves and where they come from. In addition, decorative trucks were believed a way for drivers to win more business by being more desired for the truck’s appearance.
One of the most famous Pakistani truck artists is Haider Ali, who was most recently noted for his mural of George Floyd which was shared all over the world. Haider Ali grew up in a small village in Punjab and began painting trucks as a teenager where he quickly started to develop a reputation for his innovative designs that caught the attention of international exhibits.
Characterized by patterns, calligraphy, and traditional motifs that reflect Pakistan’s customs and beliefs, the folk art painted on trucks can also be seen at public places, homes, pottery, textiles, embroidery, and woodcarving, among others the art has widely influenced.
Pakistani folk art continues as a form of expression for the people, preserving traditions, and provides a sense of identity for Pakistan, despite the modernization of Pakistani art. This tee’s print is hand drawn, influenced by truck art, and uses a poetic line as often seen in folk art.

What If It's On Pre-Order?
We encourage shoppers to purchase with urgency as many items that we offer are limited in quantity.
While 98% of our products generally ship right away after you order them, you'll find that we do pre-orders for a few of our items that are in high demand and sell out too frequently. These are restocks you don't have to chase or keep missing.
We received some feedback from our community and enabled a convenient system for customers to reserve a high demand sold out item when a restock shipment is in production. If you're subscribed to our emails, you'll receive updates throughout the duration until it's ready to ship within the time frame listed on the product page of that item.
Back-Orders are also high demand out of stock items, but generally ship faster than pre-orders.

If you're looking for really awesome quality, you'd want to tap into our Special Edition developments in our shop menu. These are fully customized by us with high quality considerations and the category we attach ourselves with when referred to a fashion brand vs the "souvenir shop".
