Beautiful/Decay Tees: Aya Kato and Jonathan Nicol by Josh Rubin

Btfldy Jonathan1 Btfldy Mermaid1

Recently added to Beautiful/Decay's line of artist-designed tees, these two new shirts continue the brand's shirt-as-canvas approach. Australian artist Jonathan Nicol's "Conan Shirt" juxtaposes mythological icons, like vampire teeth, a woman wearing an eye patch and a skull, using a palette restricted to gray, yellow, black, and white. For Aya Kato's second Beautiful/Decay effort, the Japanese artist depicts two mermaids and their watery surroundings in a black print on a cream t-shirt. See detail shots after the jump. All Beautiful/Decay tees are 40 Needle Knit, 100% cotton, printed using "discharge" process for touch-ability, and feature a slim custom-cut body. Pick these up for $30 from Beautiful/Decay.
