Vintage-Inspired Pin-Up Art
Joshy’s Supernatural Dream Afro Queen Retro Rainbow 100% Cotton Tee is a deep-cut love letter to 1970s pin-up art, cinematic mystery, and the quiet power of an image that refuses to be forgotten. Inspired by a blurry poster glimpsed above Dick Hallorann’s TV in The Shining, Joshy painted his own interpretation of the woman with the towering afro who always seemed to command the room—even in the background.
Years later, further research revealed the source: a never-published 1970s calendar image featuring Azizi Johari. That discovery only deepened the mystique. This tee brings that energy forward in full color—radiating retro rainbow beams, supernatural calm, and dreamlike presence—reimagined through Joshy’s hand-painted lens.
Printed on a soft, breathable 100% cotton tee, this unisex shirt balances nostalgic sensuality with surreal warmth. Whether you’re a Shining obsessive who loves an obscure reference or someone drawn to timeless afro-centric pin-up art, this piece feels both cinematic and personal—like a memory you can wear.
• 100% cotton tee
• Unisex fit
• Original painted artwork by Joshy

Each shirt carries the spirit of the 1970s with its soft spiral tie-dye pattern, making every piece slightly unique. The watercolor illustration is printed using premium Direct-to-Garment technology so the delicate textures, shading, and colors of Joshy’s original painting remain crisp and vibrant.
The result is a comfortable, retro-inspired art tee that feels equally at home at a music festival, record shop, art show, or just relaxing in vintage style.
