A close up of a black Unisex T-shirt with the “Looking Forward” design. The design features a bold high-contrast ink painting of the Mercury space helmet in black and white, reflecting the disability pride flag in the visor. The disability pride flag features five zigzag lines that are left to right blue, yellow, white, red, and green, on a black background with small gaps between each color.

A navy blue Unisex t-shirt with the “Space Walkies” design. The design features an illustration of a German Shepard in a spacesuit and bubble helmet, facing to the right. The space suit is cream and tan colored with a red vest and accents. She wears a backpack connected to her light blue bubble helmet by a white hose, and her fluffy tail is raised out of the back of the suit. The dog floats in front of a field of small dot stars and three large five pointed stars in faded white.

The back of black t-shirt featuring the “Rise Up" design. The design features a space capsule modeled after the Mercury capsule, depicted in high contrast black and white with gold details, enclosed in a white circle. Wrapping the side of the capsule are the words, “Demand Accessible Space” above a small window. Next to the text and window is a gold banner with a black fist, a gold infinity symbol on the arm of the fist. The banner is a “Black Disabled Lives Matter” graphic created by the same artist. The capsule floats in front of a field of stars, and is outlined by a constellation in the shape of a megaphone.

A Unisex t-shirt in Royal Blue with the “Make Space” design. The design features the title phrase in white and gold on a royal blue background. “Make” is drawn in bold white capital letters with a thin gold outline. “Space” is drawn in thin white capital letters with a heavy gold outline. “For” is written in a smaller gold print under the “SP” of space, and “Everybody” in all capital white letters beneath it the full width of the design. The text is surrounded by white dots and four sided stars. From the left and bottom of the text are dashed lines alternating white and gold, giving the appearance of movement to the design as though it were shooting through space.

A black Unisex T-Shirt featuring the "Untethered" design. The design consists of a realistic drawing of an astronaut in full spacesuit wearing a manned maneuvering unit, against a solid black background. The drawing is based on a reference of an iconic photo of the first untethered space walk. The space suit is white with details and shadows in various shades of grey to black. The domed visor is black and reflects the light from the shuttle. Their are small red details including stripes on the thighs of the suit, a NASA patch on the left chest, and stripes of an American flag on the left arm. The drawing is made up of many thin continuous and winding lines in white, black, and 4 shades of grey. Each line individually would appear as scribbling, but when layered together they create the detailed astronaut image. At a distance it is not evident that the image is constructed in this way, but reads at first glance as a photograph or detailed traditional illustration.

Featured Artists in this Collection

AJ Redmond is a prolific artist whose sought after work pays homage to some of the most popular pastimes and landmarks of Santa Cruz, CA, his hometown of almost 20 years. AJ’s ink drawings and paintings demonstrate his meticulous and unique eye for detail, “I try to capture details and textures to express the beauty in real life.”

AJ credits a mural in his preschool classroom as the spark that ignited his pursuit of art. He continued to develop his skills through school art classes, and refined his practice at The Claraty Arts Project, a studio collective for artists with developmental disabilities where he has been a member since 2011.

AJ’s unique approach to his work typically forgoes any sketch or framework, starting with a single point and working outward in finished detail. The resulting drawings and paintings are AJ’s own brand of realism, representing everyday objects and scenes with beautiful patterns and textures. AJ’s work has been featured in numerous galleries and exhibitions throughout the Bay Area, in Southern California, and Dallas TX.
