MERCHANDISE S/S Tee

- 6 oz. Heavyweight Combed-Cotton Unisex Tees, Made in the U.S.A. and slightly oversized.

- Each shirt is individual and unique, with an oversized screen print down to the hem, up to the collar, and across the shoulders with orange fluorescent (UV-reactive) ink and matte black ink by hand, featuring unique textures, layering, and imperfections, as well as toasted, lightly browned portions of fabric.

- Only 30 made; limited-run, will never be printed again; one Small-size misprint on which the front design was printed on the back, and the back was printed on the front (this might be my favorite one, though, to be honest).

- Design seeks to interrogate the relationships between artists, consumers, and the system that exploits both. Imagery includes references to the 'NO FRANK OCEAN MERCHANDISE' sign being auctioned off at Coachella 2023, the alternative album cover art for Frank Ocean's last album, 'BLONDE', the eyes of the Control Devil/Makima from the manga/anime 'Chainsaw Man', the Spotify page for musician/DJ of TikTok fame, southstar, the cover to the infamous Bret Easton Ellis novel, 'American Psycho', the tragic character Ai from the manga/anime 'Oshi No Ko', the famous 1953 painting by Francis Bacon, 'Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X', Gerald Scarfe's artwork for the 1982 film adaptation, 'Pink Floyd's The Wall', and the album cover for Kanye West's album, 'The Life of Pablo'.

- Back of the tee features an oversized label with shirt sizes circled and/or doodled around with fabric marker. The label includes care instructions, lyrics from 'Futura Free' by Frank Ocean and 'Miss You' by southstar, and a quote from fellow Huntsville artist/photographer/producer/promoter/all-around-amazing-person, Octavius, that really sums up what I'm trying to say with this piece.

- NOTE: Each shirt is unique, with varying ink thicknesses, blemishes, and toasted portions; your tee may vary from the one pictured. But I assure you, they're all sick as fuck.
