Original 1988 artist-designed T-shirt by Carl Smool, featuring his iconic three-figure skeleton graphic commonly associated with the “No Evil” motif.
This piece comes from Smool’s early independent T-shirt releases—part of a late-80s movement where underground artists produced wearable work outside traditional gallery systems. His designs are closely tied to the emerging Seattle art and pre-grunge visual culture, making surviving examples increasingly collectible.
Printed on a vintage Oneita tag blank, known for its use in original artist and band tees of the era.
The graphic features three expressive skeletal figures in bold yellow against a red field—visually aligned with Smool’s Day of the Dead–influenced style. Strong, raw linework with a hand-rendered quality that stands apart from mass-produced graphics.
