We Love You So – Where The Wild Things Are – Spike Jonze

I came across divine t-shirt designer Milton Carter’s site through an interview he conducted with The Fiery Furnaces’ graphic designer, Mike Reddy (Reddy’s work is rad too– especially his illustrated interpertation of the aforementioned band’s Blueberry Boat record). Carter’s t-shirts and bags are explicitly nautical, tropical, mellow and beachy, exuding an air of respect towards the natural world. With Ed Hardy T-shirts littering the fashion landscape, graphic T’s in general have become increasingly scrutinized– but luckily Carter’s work never crosses over into cheaply ironic or needlessly ostentatious territory, favoring simplicity in design over pointless rococco flair.
