Fourth is King x Artist Bryan Nash Gill 

Chicago, IL (November 7, 2012) – A special edition t-shirt featuring the work of woodcut artist Bryan Nash Gill and created by streetwear brand Fourth is King will be available starting November 19 on www.fourthisking.com. The unisex t-shirt features “Cedar Pole,” one of Nash’s woodcut relief prints that has been featured in exhibitions across the United States and can be seen in his recently published book “Woodcut” by Princeton Architectural Press, New York City, 2012.

The t-shirt goes on sale at 11 a.m. (EST) and will be available in sizes S-XL in 3 color combinations (black on white, gray on black and blue on gray), each made of 100% combed cotton jersey. Inspired by nature, Bryan Nash Gill’s work has been exhibited across the United States and represented in many corporate and private collections worldwide. His recently published book “Woodcut” showcases Gill’s beautifully detailed tree, lumber and offcut relief prints. The Wall Street Journal called the book “A swell coffee table companion for hip young DIY-ers who cultivate a lumberjack look that says they have come straight from splitting firewood, the new book Woodcut  is also likely to appeal to a much wider audience.”

“The work of Bryan Nash Gill is beautiful on its own, but also makes a great t-shirt,” said Jay Byrnes, artist, creative director and founder of Fourth Is King. “It’s graphic, bold and strikes a perfect balance of simplicity and detail. Being an artist myself, I feel strongly about exposing our audience, in an informal way, to art and design of such high caliber. Fourth is King is honored to release this special edition artist collaboration.
