"Music Lives" Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

In Music Lives, a tall four-string bass gives the artwork its vertical pull, its orange-yellow neck running through a rounded body that warms from yellow-orange to red before meeting black edges. Grey tuning pegs, black pickups and a cream pickguard make the instrument read clearly beneath turquoise splatters. On this Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt, the bass remains the anchor amid an intentionally crowded field.

To the right, a black grooved record carries a turquoise-and-yellow centre, balancing the large black treble clef on the left. Cream fragments of sheet music break through above the instrument and at both lower sides. Four dark knobs are grouped on a curved grey plate, a small mechanical detail against the freer paint marks.

At upper left, MUSIC is formed in cream brush lettering, with turquoise LIVES beneath it, both rising over rough black patches. A yellow-orange slash runs below the words. Pink, turquoise, yellow and black streaks, dots and long drips move between black and yellow notes, while irregular white gaps at the edges prevent the collage from closing into a solid field.
