"Suffering for My Art" Unisex Softstyle T-shirt

Creation hurts. Evolution demands it. Wear the process.

Featuring a raw, medieval-style illustration of a man ripping himself open, this t-shirt doesn’t flinch—it embraces the agony of creation. Inside the figure’s torn body lies the haunting truth: "Suffering for My Art 24/7." This isn't just a graphic tee—it’s a visual mantra for artists, creators, and emotionally attuned souls who understand that true art often comes at a cost.

This shirt is made for painters, poets, filmmakers, musicians, sculptors, and creative empaths who live on the edge of beauty and torment. If your process is part therapy, part battle—this one’s for you.
