Richard Nixon “White House Bowling Alley” Watercolor Hawaiian Shirt

(Inspired by the portrait hanging above The Dude’s mantel in The Big Lebowski)

Joshy is a Vermont artist who has been turning his original watercolor paintings into retro artisan apparel and funky lifestyle gifts since 2020.

In The Big Lebowski, The Dude keeps an unforgettable framed portrait of President Richard Nixon bowling above his living-room mantel—an odd, iconic piece of home décor that fans instantly recognize. In 2023, Joshy painted his own detailed watercolor interpretation of that presidential photo, staying true to the film’s surreal charm while adding his signature texture and retro flair.

Now, this reimagined Nixon portrait—along with a matching hand-painted White House bowling alley wallpaper pattern—has been transformed into a premium all-over print Hawaiian shirt. Joshy’s classic Zen Dude is printed on the left sleeve.

It’s a laid-back, boxy-fit button-up built for collectors, Lebowski lovers, and anyone who appreciates deep-cut cinematic references woven into wearable art.

Silky, lightweight, and designed for comfort, it’s a perfect piece for markets, barbecues, bowling nights, and abiding in any weather.
