Snailhead - Throwing Muses (Rescued Misprint)

"What did they do? we can't be wrong where did it break? The F*n spiral was a circle we are gone"

🎨 One of a Kind Rescued Misprint - Only from ElRat Designs

*MISPRINT RESCUE* - I have no idea why I deemed this a misprint, when I look at it now I can't see why, but the spiral lives on! Please check the photos, this is the actual shirt you are buying. These rescued misprints have had an imperfect journey to get to where they are, but they are beautiful and unique, just like all of us.

  • Design: Snailhead fluorescent spiral print
  • T-Shirt: Black, reverse tie-dyed (one of a kind pattern)
  • Print: Red spiral with Fluorescent Red lettering
  • Size: Large
  • Status: Rescued misprint - imperfect but beautiful

🎵 I listen to a lot of Hersh music...

and some lyrics just get into your head and won't leave, and for me, drawing them or scrawling them is how I try to shift them. 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...

🎨 When Lyrics wont leave you alone

I have been trying to make a shirt for this song for a long time, all revolving around this section of the lyrics. I really can't get it out of my head, I am not really complaining. I am absolutely obsessed with spirals, which you may have noticed if you've looked at any of my artwork, or even looked through my T-Shirt designs. This "Snailhead" spiral was so necessary for me. Because of Aphantasia, I couldn't see this in my head, just kept saying the line over and over again silently to myself. So to try to save my own sanity it had to be fully realised in the real world. I knew it had to be a reducing spiral, and it had to be striking in some way... had to really stand out, just like it does in my head.

Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.

🌟 Fluorescent Ink

This is a 2 colour print and because of my current setup, no 2 shirts will be exactly the same. There is a spiral in Red, then the lettering is fluorescent red. (Yes, it looks pink to me too, but Fluorescent red is what the ink is called so that's what I call it) it looks pink under normal light, but it glows up under UV/blue light. This is photographed under full UV, there is varying effect depending on the lighting. These are going to look amazing out and about - imagine this glowing under club lights or blacklights!

📏 Music is for everyone, and merch should be too (S-6XL Available)

At ElRat Designs, I want as many people as possible to be able to support the things they love. That's why we print every size up to 6XL - because every one deserves to wear their art.

I love it, the colours are so beautiful and the material is so soft. I honestly can't tell where the fault in the print is, it looks perfect to me. I have a few of ElRat's other KH pieces and everything I've seen so far is fabulous.

Thank you for your kind review. I have to say, mostly when I look at those, I can't see the fault either. But I guess at the time of printing something was bothering me about it. So, it's nice to be able to do something a little different with them, & give people something unique. Thank you for your ongoing support, it really means a lot to me. El
