Looks Like Rain
About the T-Shirt
My rationale behind this design was to take a staple, archetypal symbol that often crops up on black t-shirts- the skull- and soften it. I wanted to give it a reflective mood- melancholy rather than misery. Soft rain instead of a storm.
About the Illustrator
Joe McLaren is an illustrator and artist who lives and works in the middle of a big marsh in North Kent, England, with his small wife and tiny daughter. He graduated from the Brighton University BA Illustration course in 2003 and regularly contributes illustrations to the Times and other publications. He's responsible for several book covers of the last few years, and finds inspiration in eastern-European folk art, camping, the work of amateur potters and children's horror television programmes from the 1970s.
About the Collection
What’s golden, charitable and fashionable all over? The new Yellow Bird Gold Collection! This new line is more focused on art and fashion, all while staying true to the Yellow Bird (thank god your home). We have snagged insanely awesome top illustrators to create an ultra fashionable line that represents our Yellow Bird in a different perhaps less obvious light. The bird appears more as a “Where’s Waldo”, embedded into the amazing designs. Yes, sometimes fashion is painful…like when I wiggle myself into my hipster skinny jeans sometimes I think that it’s just not worth it…. but not all style comes at the price of comfort. Yellow Bird Gold uses only the softest high quality t-shirts, we’ve removed all the tags and had the labels printed on the neck so now nothing can irritate your delicate stylish charitable skin. Look good, feel good and do good wearing the most fashionable line yet…Yellow Bird GOLD. YBP is holding on to what's golden!! Isn’t it time you start feeling like the rock star you truly are?!
