The globetrotting legend of THE SEVENTH LETTER returns to DG today, with a platter of skill-display from their finest masters. EL MAC, KRUSH, AUGOR, REYES & POSE brandish the same magic that turns bland bricks & billboards into baffling burners, on these 5 tees that remind us who sets the bar on street art. Each artist swings with a different style, but no matter what, THE SEVENTH LETTER crew always kills it. Make sure you peep the videos at the bottom of the page to see the overwhelming skill reservoire that a t-shirt alone can't contain...

The Muse t-shirt

With just two colors against a black tee, EL MAC draws out an incredible range of physical and emotional detail from his muse. Reverberating directional lines that seem to be able to do no more than perhaps represent waves of energy, somehow trace the contours of her face, lips and eyes to add an organic depth of realism that even photographs rarely capture. Genius is credited on the back in three lines of machine-accurate, yet hand -rendered lettering that reads EL MAC SEVENTH LETTER. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~Black/MBlack/L~~Black/XL~~Black/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Gibbs Billboard t-shirt

The arch nemesis of snappily-dressed advertising executives pitching campaigns in corporate boardrooms across America, AUGOR destroys their expense budget forecasts once again by annihilating another one of their billboards. Famed photographer, Keegan Gibbs captures the moment as AUGOR's calm demeanor defies the incomprehensibly complex piece that he is unleashing. The backprint credits both men on the ledge. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~Black/MBlack/LBlack/XLBlack/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Krush'd t-shirt (silver)

KRUSH makes it easy for us to trace the history of his name by absolutely smashing this t-shirt under the weight of his colossal lettering skills. He spells out THE SEVENTH LETTER with styles that morph as they progress, from old english to angled to fluid, and perspective shading and blocking that taunt the 3rd dimension. Splatters, arrows and new conventions can be found on the visual scavenger hunt that this mesmerizing piece will induce. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~Silver/MSilver/LSilver/XLSilver/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Tonali t-shirt (white)

EL MAC unleashes a concentrated wave of his detail-respecting hand skills to create this three-color grayscale composition of a girl against a Pacific backdrop of sky and palm trees. His deliberate, curving brush strokes build thorough images out of mere suggestions and seem to imply that all of reality is crafted from the same building blocks. The back print reads EL MAC SEVENTH LETTER in three stacked lines of his recognizable wide lettering whose intensity decreases as it descends. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~White/MWhite/LWhite/XLWhite/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Krush'd t-shirt (black)

KRUSH makes it easy for us to trace the history of his name by absolutely smashing this t-shirt under the weight of his colossal lettering skills. He spells out THE SEVENTH LETTER with styles that morph as they progress, from old english to angled to fluid, and perspective shading and blocking that taunt the 3rd dimension. Splatters, arrows and new conventions can be found on the visual scavenger hunt that this mesmerizing piece will induce. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~Black/MBlack/LBlack/XLBlack/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Byrd Gang t-shirt (white)

REYES inks a myriad of seemingly random spirals, strokes & squiggles in a variety of thick and thin weights that converge to create an eagle descending on its prey, with gnarled claws that almost reach off the t-shirt to grab stray rats. The shirt is flanked on both sides with vertical renditions of REYES' nonchalant lettering genius that read "SEVENTH" on one side and "LETTER" on the other. As if he needed any more space to prove his ability to bend ink to his own will, he signs off on the lower back with a unique cursive script of the crew name. by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~White/MWhite/LWhite/XLWhite/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
Rock of Ages t-shirt

Out of a murky swamp of giant floating eyeballs and slime-stricken skeletal arms, POSE raises the Rock of Ages... a brick composition of the TSL logo which literally walks on water as bursting rays in the background assure you that this monument is truly monumental. The backprint features a 'disguised' vector TSL logo that dons shades and an extra thick moustache, with the weighty assertion overhead that "WE ARE SUPERVISION". by The Seventh Letter Availability:~~White/MWhite/LWhite/XLWhite/2XL~~ Price: $28.00
