OY-G-BIV T-shirt

Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet

This is my OY-G-BIV t-shirt, it is everything Eli Tea in wearable form.  It is modern, psychedelic, and captures the global spirit of tea drinkers.

Although I am young, I have had the great fortune to travel around the world to many exotic lands.  Along the way I have met scores of interesting and diverse people.  As you can imagine, I’ve had more than a few adventures.  Originally, I set out to create a uniform that captures spirit of these far-flung adventures and all the people I have experienced.  This led to the creation of my OY-G-BIV shirt, which everyone at Eli Tea wears with pride.  Now, I offer this shirt to the public.

Simple and clean cut, the design of the shirt is full of symbolism. I wanted to create something that was part subliminal in its message but representative of joining the mainstream. I found inspiration in the rainbow.  The rainbow’s spectrum is made up of 7 colors. My shirt has only 6 colors, sans red.  This was done intentionally to keep the completion of the design’s rainbow open ended.  I imagine this as a person wearing a red hat to complete the look.  Perhaps the next day, they will wear a pink.  This way, the statement of the original 6 colors of this shirt, OYGBIV, is fluid and ever changing.
