Basquiat-Inspired Street Art Protest T-Shirt

Expose the grind with this raw and rebellious “CHASE THE MONEY / DIE EXHAUSTED” T-shirt—an urban neo-expressionist collage channeling the bold energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat. At its core is a headless business suit with exaggerated shoulders and a floating graffiti crown—symbolising faceless ambition and hollow power. Surrounding it are chaotic protest symbols: barcodes, dollar signs, skulls, black scribbles, and crossed-out speech bubbles. The graffiti phrases “CHASE THE MONEY” (top) and “DIE EXHAUSTED” (bottom) appear in a colourful, playful font that clashes powerfully with the dark imagery. Designed in a bold red, black, and yellow palette, the centred layout floats on a minimalist black or white background—ideal for statement streetwear that mixes art, irony, and critique.
