Polar Beer - Now available for sale on: http://shop.ianleino.com !
Created entirely by hand with scratchboard, this design squarely inhabits the junction of cryptic LOST mythology with classic beer label design, executed in a vintage, hand-tooled style rarely seen in t-shirt design.
I worked personally with a local screenprinter to ensure the absolute highest quality prints on American Apparel 100% fine jersey cotton garments to make a shirt that both looks and feels even better than its original printing!
