Pink Ink on Women's Cut Black tee
Design by Kathleen Hinkel and Amanda Jones
Artist Statement:
This one is for the Little Monsters! The Monster Claw is the symbol shared by artist Lady Gaga (the Mother Monster) and her fanbase (the Little Monsters). The philosophy of being oneself through others is evident in all communities including the interdependent relationship between the global superstar and her fanbase. The text "Warrior Queen" is a reference to the artist's song Marry the Night which is about embracing your obstacles/the darkness in order to achieve your dreams. Be a warrior queen, live passionately.
