Ever noticed how most T-shirts sold in stores are boring and all the same?
Not only that, but they're also way too stereotypical and gendered, and they usually don't fit the way I want them to. That's why I decided to do something about it.

PISTEIK is a non-conformist merch brand I created in Stage 4 in university.
It's a reaction against rules & boring stuff, an attitude, a lifestyle, a way to have fun and mess with people. The brand uses parody to provoke and disrupt, poke fun at conformity, and comment on society & different issues.
PISTEIK's attitude conveyed through the brand pattern.
Some T-shirts, including the classic Dead Inside design modelled by Axl Bones:
There's also the skater-style heavyweight tee with PISTEIK's banana logo (all similarities with existing imagery are completely coincidental), and some nice shots of the crisp inside labels and the super cool banana tote bags:
Here's a sneek peek of PISTEIK's website, but photos don't do it justice, so just check it out yourself - pisteik.com!
I also couldn't resist getting some cool stickers and magnets with PISTEIK's iconic banana logo. It's a reference to punk, pop art, urban environments (that also inspired the graffiti-style visuals), and a symbol of subversion and provocation:
One T-shirt even got stolen from the Degree Show display, but what can I say - people love PISTEIK - especially unruly teenagers apparently.
And finally, here's some pages from the brand guide:
