Description
a small but extremely disgruntled punk rock cat illustrated in somber black and white but with vibrant red splashes of spray paint that give the whole design the impression of a mural off the wall and onto a t-shirt. The punk cat is an absolutely brilliant design of a comic strip character – diminutive body and huge frowning face with magnificent mohawk of spiky hair at maximum aggression mode, eyes exuding pure concentrated contempt for the world and everyone in it, and stripes like a prisoner’s clothes as if this being had been apprehended by society several times for unknown crimes and is completely unrepentant. Every aspect of the character speaks in a completely consistent visual language about the punk philosophy — from the attitude shown in crossed arms stance of total rebellion to deliberately disheveled fur, supreme contempt in its face showing that this cat has evaluated everything in this world and decided that it is all really terrible, and the little size of the character making its huge attitude even funnier and appealing. The graphic itself is designed in an intentionally rough black and white sketch style with obvious pencil linework and rough texture referring to street art and underground zine subculture and punk band t-shirt graphics in order to add some subcultural authenticity to the graphic rather than a corporate imitation of punk as can be often seen on mainstream graphic t-shirts. Red paint splatters are the most effective elements in the composition of the graphic because of the bright red spots that explode on a black and white graphic like punctuation marks of pure punk energy and contrast with the heather gray color of the base creating an interesting three-colored composition. The athletic heather gray base is a great choice for this particular graphic design, being more interesting and cooler than white and creating a neutral background for the black linework and red splashes to stand out while adding the understated quality making this t-shirt truly universal. As can be seen from the lifestyle image below, the t-shirt is being worn by a stylish bearded man who adds a great entertainment factor to the t-shirt as his neat and groomed appearance contrasts nicely with the anarchic nature of the graphic. Thus, this shirt is ideal both for those people who embody the punk philosophy and for those who respect this kind of philosophy in a more ironic way. The t-shirt will be a perfect fit for all cat lovers with a sense of humor and punk and alternative music fans as well as for all people who have had a cat and found in the attitude that cat demonstrates to life the perfect embodiment of the punk philosophy. One of its main advantages lies in the fact that it is extremely rare for it to be both subculturally expressive and a well-thought-out form of humorous design at the same time – the image of a grumpy punk cat is humorous for pretty much everybody but meaningful for those who relate to the punk style, thus making this graphic design appeal to more demographic groups than any other subculturally inspired ones normally would. Being grumpy, defiantly glorious, skillful in its urban sketches style, and embodying in all its tiny spiky-mohawked being a whole philosophy of magnificent and defiant punk attitude in a small body, this heather gray punk cat t-shirt is one of those graphics that make people smile, cat fans feel deeply understood, and anyone who ever wanted to meet the world in a supreme state of indifference to feel like the person is doing just that.
