My Mouth is Full of Demons

👕 Also available as a Mouth Demons Print

🎵 Hersh songs get into my head...

Lines, get stuck in my head, "My Mouth is Full of Demons" is a line I can connect with. I feel very much like my Mouth can spew Demons. People often talk about "Imagery" in songs, and I don't really understand what they mean by that. For me, a song is something I hear when I'm listening to it, I don't have imagery, I can't even hear it when I'm not listening... so it's lines that stick inside me, and this line just made me want to draw it, I made a few attempts, I hadn't been drawing very long when I first tried to capture what I wanted... This was really me learning to draw, after spending almost 50 years thinking that I couldn't. When this one happened, it was so much what I wanted it to be, its intense, and scrappy, like all my pictures, but it captures the thought... I sometimes wonder if I could see images in songs, if this is what I would have seen...

🎨 A Compliment of Sorts

This shirt is one of two shirt designs I've had stolen by drop shippers, I made them take it down in the end... they didn't understand how single minded ASD can make you I guess. If you see any of my shirts being bootlegged anywhere, I'd appreciate the heads up. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs.

📏 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.

Kristin F*ckin Hersh T-Shirt.

Black soft cotton,Striking silver & fluorescent red design.Rapid delivery,impeccable customer care,delighted,Thankyou ElRat Designs !!

Thank you so much, I made this shirt for myself a long time ago, but was convinced that there would be a copyright issue on the image, so I didnt do anything with it. When I eventually did check with The One Kristin Hersh, I was surprised, and happy to discover that she owns it. Very happy to finally be able to bring this to the world.

I'm pleased you like it. I must confess to being quite proud of how this shirt turned out. When I drew it, I never really believed it would look as good as I thought it should, once it was printed on the shirt, very happy to be wrong about that. Thank you, for your kindness!
