Mordage ODB

This Custom Design is a striking homage to hip-hop royalty, channeling the raw essence of ’90s East Coast rap culture through a bold and expressive pop-art lens.

At the center is a stylized portrait of a legendary figure—clearly drawn from Old Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan, a group synonymous with gritty street lyricism, rebellion, and cultural innovation. The portrait is rendered in a halftone print technique, nodding to comic book aesthetics and retro graphic design, while the confident smirk and wild hair capture the unfiltered personality and chaotic genius that defined ODB’s legacy.

The word “Revel” appears in elegant script across the face, creating a dramatic juxtaposition between refined calligraphy and the gritty, textured realism of the portrait. This contrast reinforces the theme of duality between divine chaos and street enlightenment.

Beneath the image, the phrase “Amongst Gods” is broken into individually styled blocks, almost like ancient tablets or carved artifacts. This invokes a sense of myth-making and icon status, elevating the subject to a pantheon of cultural deities. The use of square glyph-like typography merges urban graffiti influences with sacred symbolism, bridging contemporary streetwear and ancient reverence.

The entire composition is layered with vibrant electric blues and textured violet grids, reminiscent of digitized glitch art and ’90s rave posters, further anchoring the design in a hybrid of retro-futurism and hip-hop street surrealism.

This piece doesn’t just celebrate a musical icon—it canonizes him in the visual language of cultural mythology, fusing streetwear, pop art, and lyrical legacy into a modern sacred relic.

This T-shirt back design explores themes of mythology, burden, and duality through a highly stylized, classical-meets-contemporary aesthetic. Centered on the garment are mirrored illustrations of Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology, depicted in a seated, strained posture as he hoists the weight of the world upon his shoulders.

The figure is rendered in a style reminiscent of vintage etching or printmaking, giving it a timeless, scholarly feel. However, this is subverted by the use of modern collage textures and color gradients within the globes—faint abstract patterns and earthy tones disrupt the monochrome lines, suggesting a dialogue between antiquity and modernism.

Above the mirrored Atlases, the word “REVEL” stands boldly in a cut-out stencil typeface, filled with fragmented imagery and rich textures. This font choice reinforces the brand's identity as edgy, intellectual, and rooted in artistic experimentation.

The dual Atlases and symmetrical composition evoke ideas of balance, endurance, and repetition, making this design resonate with themes of existential weight and human struggle, filtered through the lens of classical art and streetwear minimalism.

It's a perfect visual manifesto for a brand grounded in mythic symbolism, cultural introspection, and modern rebellion.
