T-ShirtS

, , ,

Rock band Metallica has many regional fan club groups, or chapters, all across the globe. One such chapter is midwest U.S.-based The Outlaw Corn, named for song, “The Outlaw Torn” (puns are fun!). Since 2007, The Outlaw Corn has created various limited run shirt designs, with official permission from the band.

The chapter’s most recent release is an homage to Saul Bass’ poster for The Shining. The “angry corn cob” in the T of THE was drawn/stippled digitally in Adobe Fresco, with the rest composed in Adobe Illustrator.

The below alternate version of the original Outlaw Corn logo does not include use of the Metallica logo. It was drawn in pencil, with color and text added in Adobe Photoshop.
