Gainax Toppage Image and Shirts by HEX ANTISTYLE
By The Eva Monkey on Monday, September 15th, 2008
I’m short on time this week, so I’m going to follow suit with a simple, yet hopefully interesting post. The attached image is the current toppage illustration over at Gainax’s official website. It was created by HEX ANTISTYLE, which has also designed quite a few Evangelion T-Shirts for Gainax. Suffice to say they’re considerably more stylish than the majority of the Evangelion T-Shirts that have been produced domestically. I’ve noticed that like the above image, it’s common for their works to reference past artists. The above image references The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, and also appears on this one shirt which also references Salvador Dali and Philippe Halsman’s In Voluptas Mors (NSFW Contains Nudity), an image you might also be familiar with from the iconic poster for the film The Silence of the Lambs. If you’re the type that is adept and prone to importing Japanese goods, I recommend taking a look at what has been designed thus far.
