ART AS GARMENT - FRONT

What is the difference between a tattoo and a shirt? I guess that depends on how cold it is, or whether you're trying to get seated in a restaurant.

This full chest and back (see next slide) piece is titled "Heaven Is Going To Hell." Sleeve work and torso pieces blend to form an entire upper body garment. Cross in center breaks T-shirt line and bottom edge is asymmetrical.
