Detail of a marble sculpture of Saint Michael with drapery and a feathered wing

Detail 1 of 4: Artwork details

The artwork

Drawn like an engraving. Placed like a carving.

Artwork details

Each large piece of artwork begins with sculpture rather than graphics: Saint Michael in marble, two guardian angels set in Gothic tracery, a chained devil beneath a lifted sword. We draw them the way an engraver would, so they read as carved stone across the back of a garment.

Carved, not drawn
The linework follows the logic of stone. Deep shadow sits where a chisel would cut, and fine stipple softens the edges where light would fall. Nothing is outlined for effect.
Carried on the back
The large artwork sits across the back, where the wearer cannot see it and everyone behind them can. The front is kept quiet, with a single small mark.
Gilded ink, or plain white
The Christogram Hoodie artwork is printed in its default gilded ink, and in plain white on black and charcoal for anyone who prefers it quieter.

“That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord.”

Psalm 27:4
