'Misery' (2026) T Shirt 2XL
This piece is part of an ongoing art-to-wear exploration by Stiles Be — using existing garments as canvas.
The original “Misfits” text has been manually altered to read “Misery.”
A small shift in lettering.
A sharper shift in meaning.
By changing one word, the garment moves from band iconography into emotional territory. “Misery” reframes the skull — no longer just a symbol of rebellion, but something more internal, more human. It becomes about condition rather than culture.
Working from bootleg “Misfits” tees, each shirt has been individually hand distressed, colour faded, and drawn on directly. The process is physical and irreversible — tearing, bleaching, marking, and reworking the surface until the garment shifts from merchandise into artwork.
These are not reproductions.
