Everything on this shop was painted by me, a real human called Jim.
Since 2013 I've been taking requests from social media and rendering them in painstaking detail on an old version of Microsoft Paint. You can read more about me here...

As someone who absolutely adores the 1972 Wicker Man and has been mildly obsessed with Jim'll Paint It's wonderfully bonkers tarot deck ever since I discovered it, this T-shirt was an instant purchase (I now have three of these and three "stop in the name of plod" versions).
The unfortunate police sergeant whose Summerisle holiday went rather worse than the Tripadvisor reviews suggested. The rear showcases Judgement, which somehow manages to capture the film's ending in a way that's simultaneously beautiful and deeply unsettling. Much like the film itself.
The artwork is fantastic. Even people who don't recognise the references have commented on how striking the designs are, while fellow folk-horror nerds tend to point excitedly and start quoting dialogue at me. I've already had one complete stranger tell me they immediately heard "Corn Rigs" playing in their head when they saw it.
What I particularly love is how it works on multiple levels. To the uninitiated, it's a gorgeous tarot-inspired design. To fans of The Wicker Man, it's basically a secret handshake that says, "Yes, I too enjoy pagan islanders, questionable harvest festivals and one of the greatest endings in British cinema."
The shirt itself is comfortable, the print is crisp, and wearing Death on the front and Judgement on the back feels like walking around as a complete folk-horror morality tale.
I would happily wear it to a village fête, a dance at a stone circle (believe me you wouldn't want to see me dance naked. Eco warriors would cover me in goose fat and try to roll me back into the sea), or while investigating reports of missing children on remote Scottish islands.
The crops will be excellent this year. 🌞🔥🐝 (Not those bees. The proper film. Nicolas Cage makes for a poor sacrifice)
Really unique, great quality and just perfect for me.
Excellent quality tee with huge prints on front and back. I wasn't sure how large they'd really be from the store but I was pleasantly surprised. A perfect gift for folk horror loving friends and family!
Good weight on the T Shirt and the image iis put on thd shirt great, not these iron on ones. Great striking image (which is obviously as I picked it). Wearing it now as it happens :-)
A really good quality t shirt and the recipient loved the design!
