"You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."
I've had some unusual reviews in the past, but that one is definitely high on the list.
GraphicLab Tees are a California based online retailer with an extremely novel concept - they only ever sell one design of T-shirt at a time. Each week, their homepage will showcase the latest creative project submitted by the designer they've chosen to promote, along with a chunk of interview blurb. Shoppers then have 7 days (as indicated by a useful countdown clock) to buy as many copies of the tee as they can before it is blasted out of the airlock, never to return.
It just so happened that once this Alien inspired design featuring a highly detailed, glistening silhouette of Sigourney Weaver's famous tormentor had finished its stint on the GraphicLab Tees website, Rob from the company ensured it's ejected orbit drifted right past my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge, so that I could give it one last exhibition before casting it back into the ether.
The artwork on this tee is fantastic and the quality of the print is top-notch, but I can't help but wonder that of all the Xenomorph stages in the 1979 sci-fi blockbuster to print on a chest, the infamous chest-bursting toddler would have been the way to go.
Having said that, partially obscuring the adult creature by using the negative space of the T-shirt's black material to emulate its stalking, elusive demeanour works really well.
