The one who makes wads of money is someone else,Che!

Alberto Korda is the obscure photography behind the famous pop icon Che Guevara... yea, you can google.

Who's Che Guevara. If you don't know him you must have spotted his T-shirt print somewhere without knowing who that head belongs to. Or watch the Motorcycle Diary.

To cut it short, really short, Alberto Korda(fake surname) caught the historical, epic face of Che at the right moment and kept it one of his personal collections. A businessman was looking for Che's portrait and Korda generously gave it to him as present. Right after Che died, 1000+ prints of that were released which is of course how the head made it to our T-shirt now. At least that's how the story started.

Alberto wasn't paid any royalty.(But if it's any comfort, he should realize Che wasn't either...but Che wouldn't care coz he's dead)
