Unisex Hoodie Burning Girl by Michael Lawrence

A cozy pullover hoodie carrying Burning Girl, from the Dark Series by surrealist painter Michael Lawrence.

Burning Girl begins with something the artist found on the street: a weathered photograph of a young girl, so scratched and damaged that she looked as if she were on fire. Michael Lawrence built a painting around her. On either side stand a serene figure in deep blue, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and a Victorian doll in a flowing gown holding a rose, both with flames curling at their hems above green and blue waters full of fish. Two porcelain medallions, a human heart and the all-seeing Eternal Eye, are made with the same porcelain techniques Michael used for the figurines he created for Disney and Warner Bros. The painting is a meditation on how quickly childhood passes, and on fire as a force that purifies.

The hoodie:

• 100% cotton face; 65% ring-spun cotton, 35% polyester
• Front pouch pocket, 3-panel hood and matching flat drawstrings
• Runs small. We recommend ordering one size up
• Printed on demand just for you, which reduces overproduction

Warm, soft and a little unexpected. A hoodie that doubles as wearable art.
