Pirate Printers: These Guys Print Bags And Shirts On Urban Utility Covers

Take a look around you. If you look hard enough, you can find art anywhere. Consider Raubdruckerin, a Berlin-based art collective that sees the beauty in our surroundings and captures it in amazing designs printed on bags and t-shirts.

Raubdruckerin, meaning “pirate printer” in German, creates unique patterns on clothing and accessories using manhole covers, grids, vents, and other public utilities. Their on-location work involves applying ink directly to these urban elements before selling their creations online. Their shop features designs from cities like Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Paris.
