Greetings from New Mexico T-Shirt

Roswell, NM, July 8, 1947 - A U.S. Army Field Office issues a notorious press release via wireless transmission: An alien spacecraft has crashed nearby. 

Less than two years earlier, the first nuclear bomb ignited over the sands of Los Alamos. UFOlogists speculate as to how the blast might have reverberated throughout the cosmos, acting as an invitation to our extraterrestrial brethren. 

The place where they landed is the only U.S. state with the word “New” in its name, but it actually isn’t new at all. Before the Spanish arrived, indigenous Mexicans considered this land their ancestral home, a place where even the rock formations along the Interstate are a psychedelic experience. 

This postcard-perfect design from Killer Acid, in collaboration with Santa Fe arts collective Meow Wolf, celebrates New Mexico’s otherworldly history. It commemorates the Land of Enchantment’s astral visitors, old and new.
