True Colors T-shirt from Ardentees

The sound you can hear is screaming – transatlantic screaming – it’s Mikey, who has a problem with color – he thinks it should have a U in it. Yeah right.
Anyway, this T-shirt from Ardentees is one of those tees that’s more than it looks – these are tees that might change the future. Ardentees say they collaborate with ‘the wave of creative talents yet untapped’ which sounds a bit like a line from Point Break, but let it go, their point is to develop properly experimental T-shirt design and textile art. I can get behind that.
Also, every year in fall, I take an art class. I am not good at art, but I know that trying to create helps improve my ability to discern good design, and the colors in this tee just feel like the most exciting art I ever did as a kid, when painting was fun and I had no hang-ups about the quality of what I produced. Speaking of quality – an issue with the photos on the Ardentees shop page – you can’t see the beautiful eyes that gaze out of this T-shirt on the gallery page, yet they’re perfectly shown on the splash page. WTF?
The artist who’s produced the quality here is Bulgarian Dimo Trifonov who’s been a graffiti artist, DJ and a traditional artist and who says he is ‘inspired by the simplest of things. I try to find the complication in them, for example picking a subject or object and to go as deep as I can into it before presenting it as an outlet of my thoughts’ – I like that. And the T-shirt is about how color lives in us which is a brilliant concept for a T-shirt reviewer.
