$21.99

Shipping to United States: $3.99



Turn up the heat and the creativity with this bold New Mexico–inspired design. This surreal chili face is built entirely from intertwined red and green chiles, finished with a crown of paintbrushes to celebrate the deep connection between NM culture and the arts.

The design blends iconic Southwest identity with artistic expression—featuring subtle Zia-inspired elements knocked back into muted adobe and dusty turquoise tones so the vibrant red and green chile face takes center stage. Glossy highlights and dimensional shading give the peppers a fresh, lifelike look that pops off the fabric, especially on dark shirts.

Perfect for artists, New Mexico locals, Santa Fe gallery lovers, Albuquerque creatives, and anyone who knows the real New Mexico food question is: Red or Green?

✔ High-contrast, print-ready artwork
✔ Designed for dark shirts (but works on light too)
✔ Clean edges, no background box – blends naturally into fabric
✔ Unique, conversation-starting Southwest art piece

Wear your culture. Wear your heat. Wear your art.

Perfect for artists, creatives, chile lovers, and anyone who proudly claims New Mexico as part of their soul.

A bold, art-forward tee that wears like a statement. This classic crew neck features a vivid, hand-illustrated face made from a tangle of red and green chilies with matchstick-like accents—an eccentric, slightly spicy portrait that draws the eye and sparks conversation. Soft, midweight cotton holds the print with crisp color while a relaxed, timeless cut keeps the shirt approachable for daily wear. Put it on when you want your outfit to tell a story: playful, a little rebellious, and unmistakably creative.
