With the Met Gala celebrations upon us I have been inspired to find some old shirts I painted back in the day for several festivals and shows. These pieces are influenced by some of my favorite musical artists who really inspire me and give me life with their work. These shirts are timeless to me and express different moments in my life that I experienced with my friends and family that I will never forget. I went to the mall and picked out different plain white designer shirts then transferred and expanded certain photos and artwork from the musicians onto the tee. I used a variety of fabric specific material like paints, markers, dyes, and glitter from Blicks. You can see alot of my pencil marks and mistakes I had to measure everything out to make sure it all looked alright. At the end of the post are just some of my favorite Met Gala moments from tonight and other nights.
