Christopher Gorski is a little more avante garde, but you can still pick up a very beautiful t-shirt from his Etsy store. According to his bio he loves Vernors and the smell of burning brakes. I take these as good signs of a native Detroiter. Plus don't miss the quirky art on his website. Send Chris an e-mail.
