“Petrified Panda” started just under a year ago, “It all started with a doodle that I made of a frightened panda, alongside an equally horrified hamster and owl. I didn’t really give it much thought at the time but then my mom eventually saw the doodles and told me that they could be cute t-shirt designs! And I was like OK! Thus began my journey with Petrified Panda.”
Petrified Panda was launched as a T-Shirt brand with a fictional narrative revolving around a community of animals where, in recent years, a handful of them started to mysteriously disappear. The only clues left behind were these Polaroid photographs, found laying around the forest that surrounds the village. And quite peculiar images they were – each one showed the little animals wide-eyed and spooked. And in a twisted way, this resulted in a series of exceptionally adorable images.
The shirts tie in with this mystery and each design gives you a glimpse into the poor little critters’ characters and their respective stories. There isn’t yet an ending to the story, as I intend on keeping it ‘alive’ so that the narrative progresses a step at a time with each new design that gets released.
