Day 274



First of all, let's all take to a moment to appreciate the brand name of today's donated T-shirt. Not only is it a great example of pun use, it also sums up the conception of the clothing label according to Karl, the brand's artistically-oppressed creator.
This visually striking garment comes from PercyCute (I do enjoy a good pun), a brand with an entire stockroom filled with electrically vibrant hand-drawn illustrations, designed for a youth audience.

The image on this tee is titled Easy Tiger and understandably features the face of a tiger. A tiger wearing a tiara. Oh didn't I mention that? Yes, the tiger is wearing a tiara. If the lion is the king of the jungle then surely the tiger is the queen. Or the princess. Or the metrosexual prince, whatever.
He's aggressively sketched out in an a blend of acid yellows and pinks, giving the image the rugged edge prominent in all the PercyCute stock.
Further in-keeping with the urban street art aesthetic, the PercyCute brand name appears upon the cat's left ear in a bubble graffiti font (which you can actually purchase in an isolated format on the retailer's website) while the foot of the design melts in an exaggerated over-sprayed glop.

This is definitely one of the more unique designs to appear in my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge.
