Concept Apparel

Garment graphics drawn as a personal exercise: what merch looks like when it is designed like a record sleeve.

Two tee graphics, collection artwork

Both tees are built from the same kit as the posters they sit beside - halftone and risograph texture, cut-up photography, and drawing rather than sourced imagery.

A washed green body carries a hand-drawn helmet with its facemask broken into a spectrum; a washed black body carries a photo collage under graffiti-weight lettering. Both are drawn for the wash, with heavy texture and open mid-tones so the print reads worn rather than new on the first day.

The artwork runs wider than the garments. The same cut-up figures work as standalone sheets, which is what keeps a capsule this small from looking like two shirts and nothing else.

Self-initiated. Personal studies made around an artist's work. Not commissioned, and not affiliated with or endorsed by the artist.

“Designed the way a record sleeve is designed, not as a licensing exercise.”
