Made with paint, caffeine, & questionable music choices
“A Fundamental State of Being #1” transforms an original mixed-media painting by artist James Faris into a piece of wearable art. Built from instinctive brushwork, violent drips, splatters, and fragmented marks, the image suggests a human face emerging from emotional noise and raw gesture.
The piece embraces imperfection — chaotic lines, exposed process, accidental textures, and layered symbolism collide in a stark neo-expressionist composition that feels both fragile and confrontational.
Printed from original artwork created in Washington, D.C. using acrylic paint, spray paint, ink, oil stick, and paint marker.
Part of the evolving Becoming Series and Field Notes body of work exploring identity, vulnerability, awareness, and transformation through symbolic contemporary art.
Not mass-market merch.
Wearable art from an original painting by Jim Faris.
A crisp, lightweight tee printed with a moody, hand-painted portrait that feels like a page torn from an artist’s sketchbook. The design blends ink splatters, watercolor strokes, and handwritten marks to create a quietly intense face at the shirt’s center — imperfect, expressive, and strangely intimate. Wear it when you want a simple white canvas that still speaks: pairing easily with worn denim, a slouchy jacket, or layered under a blazer for nights when you want subtle edge. This shirt fits into the life of someone who collects small statements — the kind who prefers studio nights, gallery openings, and coffeehouse conversations to loud logos. Breathable ring-spun cotton and clean crew styling keep the look effortless and comfortable, so the artwork stays front and center.
