Fractal Skull & Snake w/ Platonic Moth on Full Moon
$25.00
"Fractal Skull and Snake with Platonic Moth on Full Moon Night" is one of our latest in-house ink jobs and the name pretty much sums up what the design is about: There is a Sierpinski triangle turning into stellated octahedrons coming off a fragmented skull which blossoms into more chaos.
Printed on 100% cotton American Apparel Grass Green unisex t-shirts. Made in the U.S.A.
Dodecahedron
$25.00

Symbolism:
With our opposed thumb and four finger, us humans are the best tool makers and thus, the only earthling adapted to explore the cosmos. We are capable of mostly great destruction as of now, but also we are the most gifted creators in the known universe. It is our ability to work together to make this happen, yet we are often isolated by our technology and that is why the human is presented alone, trapped inside it’s own creation. But there is hope…
The human female is our greatest symbol of beauty and regeneration. It can be the embodiment of what we consider perfection, if there is such a thing. It is something to embrace. Also, she is seen in a Lotus meditation position to express her divine achievement of control. It is her greatest asset. When humans as a whole can find the balance and control over our minds and bodies as one, we will truly unlock the greatest wonders of the universe. One can only hope that by spreading the love and thirst for knowledge, we can achieve this in our lifetimes.
Cube
$25.00
2nd installment in the 5 Platonic Solids T-shirt series, the Cube is a familiar shape, but now we see it in a new way:
The cube is actually the dual of the Octahedron. They are essentially the same shape, in reverse. If you placed a point in the center of each face of the cube and took away the cube and connected those new remaining points you would have constructed an octahedron and vise versa.
According to Plato, the Cube represented Earth. Therefore, the elephant is placed in the cube to reflect his inquisitive land roaming. Sometimes it's good to be the elephant in the room, especially when wearing this amazing design.

Icosahedron
$25.00
Printed on American Apparel 100% fine jersey cotton Ash Grey Sea Foam unisex t-shirts.
3rd installment in the 5 Platonic Solids we have an icosahedron of 30 sides all made of equilateral triangles. The icosahedron is built around the pentagon and the golden section and features the most interesting and intelligent sea creature, the octopus to represent this water element. These cephalopods with no skeleton are proven great problem solvers and also very effective hunters as many sharks fall victim to the giant pacific octopus on the left.
100% made in the U.S.A.
Tetrahedron
$25.00
The tetrahedron is the simplest system in Universe. This solid is found everywhere in nature. From compound molecules to DNA, it's a part of everything you've ever known.
"All of the definable structuring of Universe is tetrahedrally coordinate in rational number increments of the tetrahedron.” -R. Buckminster Fuller
Plato assigned this shape the element of fire as "the most mobile" so we have chosen an agile predator, the lion, as the embodiment of this raging element.

Octahedron
$25.00
Printed on a vintage-soft Alternative Apparel for a comfortable, slim fit. Printed with 50% blue ink, which is translucent so garment colour mixes tones with the ink.
In geometry, an octahedron (plural: octahedra) is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex.
Octahedron is the 1st of 5 Platonic Solids that .506 is releasing.
Sierpinski Triangle
$25.00
The Sierpinski Triangle on a tshirt is a cool way to share the knowledge and beauty of fractal geometry to those around you. It was designed and hand-screenprinted by the math teacher's son, Vincent Fink.
See figure 2. In the figure, in place of the usual numbers in Pascal’s triangle we have areas that are either blank t-shirt or white ink, depending upon whether the number in that position is odd or even, respectively.
Available on soft, very thin Tultex brand shirts.
Type 1

Like a seal you would see on the side of a military vehicle this t-shirt represents the Atlas Metamorphosis Project of Vincent Fink (www.vincentfink.com). Printed on a heather green Tultex blend tee and has a soft, light feel & ink.
At this point, we are but worms, shedding skin, growing larger. Eventually we must enter the pupa stage, and rest. But perhaps we shall resurrect as something even more magnificent. Possibly a flying horned beetle? One can only fathom.

"Steam Heart" design symbolizes an old heart and how it can need repair. So we work on them until we've built something that will stand the test of time. It's also the 1st design I've printed by hand which makes it the most important design in our line so far. There's also more hidden imagery in the design but I like for people to interpret it their own way." -Vincent Fink

Worm Hotel
$10.00
ON SALE!! - This preshrunk 100% cotton white tee's comes in Men's Anvil 980 and Women's Tulex fitted sizes and has a soft, light feel & ink.
This new take on Asian architecture is part of the growing body of work relating to the Atlas Metamorphosis Project by artist Vincent Fink (www.vincentfink.com). Lord Worm is a subject of worship, power and leadership of the small people who are content living as they are told. They breathe the perfumes and enjoy the parades, tripping out on the visual hallucinations they perceive while viewing the buildings in the city. The buildings in the fictitious Bin Kai City are, in fact, four dimensional, as rooms tend to shift and move into different configurations. This is truly a vision from the architects of the future.

Edward N. Lorenz accidentally typed .506 into a weather calculation generator and although it was only a tenthousandth place off, it proved to be enough to create a cataclysmic storm in stead of sunshine thus coining his butterfly effect concept and giving people a reason to believe that something very small can significantly change things and become larger than it’s self.

This image came to the artist in a dream in mid January, 2010. He saw this piece at his art director’s house and starred at it for as long as he could and when he awoke the general idea was still intact, so Vincent began sketching preliminaries and researching for the image to be manifested into real existence.
