Newly released as a T-shirt for Baltimore ‘baroquetronica’ band Bear & Walrus, Mare Odomo (best known for his brilliant Pokemon mini-comic Letters to An Absent Father) explains his design thusly:

The layout mimics the inventory screen for Link’s Awakening. All the items are real world objects you could find in your backyard. Weird little things that your childbrains imbue with magic. A pinecone is a grenade, a stick is a sword, feathers let you fly.

Find the T-shirt here (only 50 were printed!), stream Bear & Walrus’s albums here, dig into more of Mare’s designs here.
