Red or green? This original T-shirt design chooses both.
A surreal human face built entirely from glossy red and green New Mexico-inspired chile peppers wears oversized dark sunglasses reflecting a Southwestern sunset. The confident expression, bold color contrast, and dimensional chile construction turn a familiar New Mexico obsession into something much stranger, cooler, and more collectible than a typical souvenir shirt.
The artwork is designed to read strongly from a distance while revealing plenty of chile detail up close. A subtle light keyline helps the design stand out on both light and dark shirt colors.
