The title of this T-shirt is based on a song title by Moby. It represented my feelings at the time, after the painful breakup with my girlfriend. I tried to express my feelings, so it was a rather spontaneous project.
I started with the three hearts: one is blurring out of shape, the second is split in two, the third one is stretched apart. Then I added the title in different fonts, thereby emphasizing the words "Why heart bad?!". Because the painting still looked naked, I finally added a wire-model of a sphere, from which the heart seems to be bursting out of. It's like a kind of advice to let go of my feelings, not to hide them inside.

Another hybrid project using both brushes and airbrush. For the delicate letters, I made two printouts, putting one underneath the cotton to trace the outlines, the other next to me to observe the exact style of each letter.
