Kristin Hersh, 'Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire'

🎵 I listen to a lot of Hersh music...

and for some reason it makes me draw pictures, and sometimes pictures are just pictures, but sometimes they become T-shirts. I never expected my T-Shirt ideas would be for anyone but me... But here they are, actual Hersh shirts... out of my mind, and into the world..

🖤🖤🖤Black Heart edition🖤🖤🖤

This is Petrol Grey ink on either Black, Charcoal or Purple shirt, Be aware, you can really hardly see the black one at all unless it's in the right light. The Purple one is quite difficult to see too. This is how it's designed. I'm not sure if this is a thing people want, but I wanted it, and I love it, so we'll see.

You can find the Standard Edition here

⌛Time Lied

I don't really know how this shirt happened, I was listening to 'Clear pond road' a lot, and that line from 'Reflections on the motive power of fire', really stuck in my heart I guess. It's such a short and cutting statement... and so true... time is always lying to us... or our perception of it anyway. This is the first Hersh shirt I actually screen printed (before that I had only hand cut stencils and sponged them) hand drawn anatomical heart, with the words "Time Lied" carved into it, Kristin Hersh in small lettering around the left hand side of the Heart. This is supposed to be like your real heart, so... as much as it stresses me out every time I have to print one, it's printed off to the left, in the position your heart should be (Or that's always my aim anyway) as with everything ElRat, nothing is quite perfection... only human🎶🎧🖤

🎨 Hand-Drawn, Hand-Pulled Screen Print

It's rare for me to have such a clear idea of what I want when I start drawing, but sometimes it's all there... somewhere in my black mind, just waiting to be realised. Hersh music is really the only thing that makes these things leap to the front of my brain. Hand-pulled heart....
