The images above are a really sweet set of t-shirt design images from Ken Marshall, an artist who also takes his work from t-shirts to other formats such as skateboard design and sculpture.
Although these are essentially a harsh mix of images, I love these pieces, as at first they look really delicate and floral. My only thought is that if these designs are meant for t-shirts, then people would spend a whole lot of time staring at your chest. Whether that’s good or bad is for you to decide.
