Just like all other Freak & Elegance t-shirts, this one is designed based on the instinct and inspiration. Great arts are always produced from the great sense of the great artists. Anyway this time the instinct lies in the rebellion of the designer Meowee. We have seen plenty of nice artworks by him in Freak & Elegance already. He has tuned himself perfectly into the concept and soul of FE and is now..trying to rebel!

He has given a tweak in his typical style in design. The white splashes effect and the silhouette in it will be hard to achieve if we are to print this on t-shirts. The face of the queen is painted in Freak & Elegance identity color - magenta. With the embellishment of the small dots which are again typically FE, the great piece of artwork is a perfect freak.

This is an all-over design t-shirt by Freak & Elegance. De Construction also known as decomposition in English word. There are solid things in this world which are hard to dissembled as there are ideas in an artist’s head which are so sophisticated in the developmental stage.

De Construction is a concept where you dissemble a complicated object so you can see the original units that make up the whole thing. An artist meditate and perceive the dissemble version of the original ideas, then works his way to reconstruct the pieces back to make a better idea.

When all the old elements have transformed themselves after the rebuilding process, the new object formed is judged in a brand new perception - The world has just been rebuilt.

Dori & Isasa is a t-shirt design that has not been released. We have a sneak preview here. Freak & Elegance might only release it on a whim in 2009.

The mass sees Dori & Isasa as Japanese-style illustration, but the t-shirt design is in fact more of European-style. These two styles are kind of close anyway. In the graphic, the use of bright red blended in little orange on the background, strongly contrast with the character Dori and Isasa holding on a balance point. It again reflects Freak & Elegance concept well.

A t-shirt design by Meowee.

This is one of the very first Freak & Elegance t-shirts. If you have already read about the page Angelic Devil & Devilish Angel, and The Story of Fecielo, you would have grasped the concept and soul of FE t-shirts. 7 Goldfish & Jasmine has so successfully reflected the theme.

The fusion of the 7 goldfish and a jasmine flower implies the fusion of western mystery and oriental gracefulness. These are the 2 opposite elements inside the t-shirt design. In most western countries the number “7″ is believed to be the number of mystery. This is also the reason why you see the mysterious number “7″ beside the world peace label at the back of all FE t-shirts. The use of real graphical jasmine as background not only gives sense of leisure but at the same time form the striking contrast in the color! It has simple design, intense tone.

DCMA Collective is a famous clothing company in US. It is shown here for our t-shirt lovers who are also skull case or skeleton lovers. I’m not going to list down all the t-shirts and the labels here which have anything to do with skull case.

I bet when you see the word Burton Snowboards or just the logo you would imagine that you were snowboarding somewhere at Fuji or Schweitzer. This magical word would evoke well-known labels like Quiksilver or Billabong, if it’s not Jib Hunt.

Burton tops the world in snowboards manufacturing. Try to ask any of the snowboarders you know, if there’s one who doesn’t know about Burton Snowboards, he is certainly inept at this cool activity but is expert in telling lie.

Black has been recognized as a symbol of elegance in fashion world. If it’s already a cliché to you, rejuvenate your fashion sense with blood. Sorry? What? You are not hearing the wrong words. Let’s introduce Blood is the New Black. A place where you find t-shirt design by artists you may not know about.

Blood is the New Black has been giving chances to emerging artists to showcase their talent in the arts, specifically the graphic on the t-shirts tagged with its label. Moreover, I love the fact that the owner always gives proper credit to the artists from the t-shirt design to the hangtag and neck label on each t-shirt. This is what other online clothing stores or powerhouses overlook.
