Midnight Unicorn (M)

I set out to paint the same rearing unicorn — but this time, something darker stepped forward. On navy cotton, the bleach didn’t bloom into lilac or fuchsia. It lifted to bone. Ivory. A softened skeletal glow. Like a ghost remembering the shape it used to have.

 

This unicorn isn’t the gentle creature from childhood lunchboxes. He’s older. Wilder. A little undead in the best possible way — the kind of magic that survives the hard parts and comes back stranger, sharper, more sure of itself.

 

The lines revealed muscle and rib, curve and shadow. He looked powerful, but not in a showy way. More like a myth that learned to carry its own darkness without shame.

 

He’s beautiful.

He’s eerie.

He’s magnetic.

And he doesn’t apologize for any of it.

 

This is the unicorn that appears when innocence grows into knowing, when sweetness grows into strength, when fantasy grows teeth. The kind of presence that shows up when you finally realize magic isn’t always soft — sometimes it’s the thing that keeps you going in the dead of night.

So you found a shirt that whispered something to you. Cool.

Let’s make sure you and your new wearable art become fast friends.

 

 

❓ Is this shirt one-of-a-kind?

 

Yes. I bleach them all by hand. They’re a little chaotic, a little soulful, and completely unique. Like you.

 

 

❓ What if it doesn’t fit?

 

Size up! I wear mine loose like wearable billboards. That way the image flows, and I don’t feel squeezed by capitalism or cotton.

 

 

❓ What comes with the shirt?

 

Love. Some handmade stickers. Probably a dog hair. (Sorry.) And a thank-you note from me, the artist.

 

 

❓ Can I wash it?

 

Yep. It’s been washed, dried, and heat-set already. But wash it cold and hang it dry if you wanna treat it nice.

 

 

❓ Why is it $30?

 

Because this is wearable art. And also a test run. Prices will go up as I get better (and braver). You’re early. That makes you a legend.

 

❓ Can I return it?

 

Nope. All sales are final. These shirts are one-of-a-kind, made by hand, and full of soul—just like you. That said, if it arrives damaged or doesn’t look the way you expected, email me at hello@kristylannan.com and I’ll try to make it right. I want you to feel good wearing your weird.

 

❓ What size is the model?

 

Did you just call me a model? Blush. I’m 5’2” and usually wear a Small in unisex shirts (which these are). But for this wearable art, I like to go big. Makes me feel like a walking canvas. Oversized is the move.

 

 

❓ Can I get a custom shirt?

 

There’s a form on the shop page where you can suggest a design—or just email me if you’ve got a wild idea you want to see in bleach. Just know I might say no (nicely). I’m in an exploratory phase, like an artsy little Pokémon.

 

 

❓ Do you ship outside Canada?

 

Yes! Right now, shipping is included in the $30 price—even international. I’m curious to see where these shirts end up. If I find that sending shirts across the ocean costs more than the shirt itself, I may start adding a shipping fee. But for now, let’s just see what happens.

 

❓ It looks weird. Like… kinda ugly?

 

Perfect. That means it’s working.
