"Tabby With Sock" Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

Description

Cream linework cuts through sepia and black, while a narrow gold/tan cuff gives the sock its clearest block of colour. In Tabby With Sock, a striped tabby is drawn upright in profile, yet turns its face forward with an alert, direct expression. Its front paw rests on the ribbed sock, and the tail makes a neat forward curl around both paws. The unisex longsleeve T-shirt carries the illustration with the cat taking most of the visual weight, leaving the lower side areas open around the lettering.

• Fine parallel and curved cross-hatching follows the cat’s fur, so the chest, haunch and face feel built from pen strokes instead of smooth fill.
• Charcoal-black marks concentrate at the ear tips, tail tip and stripes, giving the pale cream passages room to register.
• Below the drawing, SOCK appears in cream tall serif lettering with a thin dark edge; its small flourishes keep the evenly spaced letters from feeling plain.

The gray ground stays flat and untextured behind the illustration. SOCK is English lettering, naming the object under the cat with an intentionally plain word that contrasts with the detailed animal study.
