Concept:
Shellshock Lullaby is a pop-punk band based in Butte, Montana. For their most recent EP entitled Static Noise, they commissioned a limited-edition T-shirt to sell along with the EP. The design was inspired by the title of the EP and the vintage athletic of the album art. Going with these themes, the figure is supposed to appear as if they were a motherly character on a 50s sitcom but the apathetic attitude portrayed by the slumped posture modernizes it and creates a juxtaposition with the feel-good vibes that usually came from that era of television. The figure takes direct inspiration from one of the band member’s style and disposition. The static is meant to mimic the screen of a retro tube TV with no signal, representing the feeling of unease and dysphoria that comes from being stuck in the depression of an unfulfilled life.
