Canary Yellow by Alice
Our next design for sale is Canary Yellow by Alice…
I was born in Kent and grew up around Sevenoaks. After studying Graphic Design at school, I decided to move on to sculpture for University. I graduated from the University of Hertfordshire with a 1st class BA in Model Design in 2005. Not having much else to do, I stayed on for a further 2 years to complete an MA in the same subject (The University still won’t give me my certificate because they say I owe them money, so I don’t know what I got for that.) I worked as a sculptor for a product-design consultancy in Windsor for most of 2006, but was forced out of sculpting by all the adverse reactions I was having to the poisonous chemicals used in action-figures. Thus, I returned to my first love; drawing. I’ve taken the long way around, but…well, actually I can’t say it’s been ‘fun’. It has been informative, and I’ve met some unforgettable people along the way…and a few other ‘people I’d like to forget’. I currently work full-time for a design consultancy in London, where I provide concept art (London 2012 Olympic Planning Commitee), storyboards (Muller, Wrigley’s) and Logo designs (Pepsi Max).
You can learn more about Alice and see more of her work at her website. I’m pretty excited about this tee. To me, it’s kind of an unsettling combination of something dark with something that’s delicate; pretty and deranged. It goes on sale tonight at midnight.

Is there any way you could post a larger image before midnight? I think I would like the shirt, but I want to inspect it closer before I think about buying it.
you should pay up and get your university certificate – debtor not good on CV
I love it! But I agree with Glenn… I would like to be able to see a larger picture of it before i buy it.
I like the colors and the design – very vintage-y tattoo.
I have to agree with Glenn and Chelsea. I like it, but I want to be able to see more of the intricacies of the design before I decide if it’s worth it to me.
I’ve updated the post with a detail pic. Click through to get an even larger view. I’m glad you guys are digging it.

Love it!
I really want to like this shirt and would love to want to buy it, however there is just something lacking to make it amazing. Sorry. Though I do like the delicacy of the design, there is no “there” there for me.
Yay. Pretty.
Compositionally, I wish it was tilted slightly clockwise, instead of all the movement being vertical. Bought it anyways.
It’s cool. Looks real cool. Can’t tell what it is. But it’s cool.
It looks like a splattered windshield bird to me. I wonder what that says about me.
Any particular reason your male model is fully clothed and your female model has no pants? Besides crass sexual consumerism?
Because the shirts we print on are from American Apparel, so we use American Apparel stock photography.
From Wikipedia regarding American Apparel: “The company is known for its provocative and controversial advertising campaigns … The company’s advertising is also known for its sexuality.”
As I wait for yet another new shirt design, I really like this one. It reminds me of a heavy-metal band. I totally forgot to wait up at midnight to buy one though, and now, as a really (really really really) poor college student, I really can’t justify spening $37 for one. Wish I could though?
P.S. Loving the Zombie Love shirt though. It’s definitely one of my favorite shirts in my wardrobe.
so nice…i luv it…
