dfrntpigeon was launched by New Avenues For Youth, a non-profit organization, to provide a creative environment for at-risk and homeless youths in Portland, Oregon. At first glance, you may pick up on the fact that these tees are a good representation of life - from highlighting the unspoken truths about society to providing hope in dark times. However, what you may not know is that each design is created by a talented artist facing the challenges of living in a disadvantaged community. The original work by these young designers feed into the dfrntpigeon's mission of helping marginalizing youth transition out of street life towards a path to success.
From dfrntpigeon:
"We are the different ones... who know what it means to eat, sleep and breathe survival. Who aren't defined by the hand [we've ] been dealt. We are here to show that struggle made us better...and when it comes to adversity? We don't just rise above it, we take flight."
