Bulldog T-Shirts

English bulldogs are the clearest example of what selective breeding does to a dog. The flat face causes breathing problems, most can't whelp naturally, and swimming is genuinely dangerous for them. They are also extraordinarily good-natured, entirely stubborn, and will lie in a doorway you need to use and simply not move.

Meet Bruno

Black English Bulldog, massively wrinkled face, enormous underbite, flat pushed-in nose, small folded ears, tongue out. One speed. Not that speed. The crew spirals — Bruno watches. He is not the toughest in the crew. He is just the one nobody tries.

About the design

Bulldog stencil art t-shirt — Bruno by Life is a Circus

Black and white photorealistic stencil art, deep shadows, high contrast.

Every character in the crew wears one tiny red clown nose — the only colour

in the entire design.

Printed on garment-dyed heavyweight cotton with an unstructured, relaxed fit.

Why the bulldog works as stencil art

Folds, folds and more folds. No other breed hands a stencil artist this much built-in shadow, and the low wide silhouette is unmistakable.
