Abstraction is a state of mind (or body) T-shirt from ARKA

To be brutally frank, my favorite Tee on the ARKA site right now is actually the owl, not Abstraction. But here’s the thing – I have a sense, maybe even an intuition, that owls are not summer wear. I don’t think there’s actually a rule about it, not like the one about never mixing brown and blue (which is stupid anyway – brown and blue look great together) so maybe it’s more of a guideline. Anyway, I doubt I’d wear an owl teeshirt from May thru to fall, so I went with something I would wear.
It’s a V-neck (which Mikey hates) with a design that ARKA describe as a tribute to Eastern European artwork. Okay … but why, exactly? I mean, they could be right, for all I know, but isn’t abstract art meant to be more universal than that? Anyway, it’s a non-toxic eco-friendly print on premium cotton tee, which it would have to be at the price of $35.00.
Also, ARKA has one of those weird ‘about’ sections that drive Mikey totally batshit, ie: ARKA embodies the mindset of individuals who are well rounded and can’t define themselves with a single word or phrase. Every design is an eclectic blend of various influences from around the globe. Each graphic has a story and a purpose. The true meaning of the word “ARKA” is to be the king of all kings. However, this can be interpreted differently by different individuals. We feel that everybody has a leader within and can contribute to the beauty of today’s world.
Well wow to that! But the teeshirt is cool and sort of Steely Dan if you take my meaning …
