Hellstar Studios Frankenkid Graphic T-Shirt – Light Gray

Frankenstein’s Monster Was Not the Monster. The People Who Made It and Then Rejected What They Had Made Were the Monster. The Hellstar Studios Frankenkid Tee Is the Garment of the Person Who Received This Education Earlier Than Most — Who Learned, at the Age When the Learning Lands the Deepest, That the World’s Willingness to Create You and Its Willingness to Accept What It Created Are Two Separate Decisions That the World Makes Independently of Each Other. — Hellstar Studios “Frankenkid” Tee in Light Gray.

The Hellstar Studios Frankenkid Tee is the garment that most directly engages with the origin dimension of the Hellstar journey — the dimension that asks not where the person is going or what the person has survived but where the person came from and what the specific conditions of the coming-from produced in the person who came from them. The Frankenkid is the Hellstar translation of the Frankenstein archetype into the contemporary experience of the person who was shaped by forces they did not choose and then evaluated by the same forces according to standards they did not set — the specific situation of the creature that Dr. Frankenstein assembled from the available materials and then abandoned when the assembled creature did not match the image of the creation that the creator had imagined before the assembly began. In the Hellstar context, the world that creates the Frankenkid is not a single scientist in a castle but the accumulated system of the family and the school and the neighborhood and the culture and the economy and the specific historical moment that the person was born into — all of which participate in the assembly of the person that the person will become, and none of which take responsibility for what the assembly produces when the assembled person does not match the image of the acceptable person that the assembling systems had imagined before the assembly began. The green of the Frankenkid’s face is the specific color of the person who has been through this recognition — the recognition that the world that made you and the world that will accept you are not the same world, that the standards by which you will be evaluated were set before you existed and without reference to what the assembly of you would actually produce, and that the education this recognition provides is the specific education that the hell delivers to the people who receive it — the education that the person who has not received it does not know they have not received, and that the person who has received it carries in the specific way that the Frankenkid carries the green of a face that the world assembled and then decided it did not recognize as its own work. Light Gray is the color of this tee because Light Gray is the color of the space between what they wanted the assembly to produce and what the assembly actually produced — the color of the zone that is neither the white of the imagined acceptable creation nor the black of the hell that the rejection of the assembled person produces, but the specific gray of the understanding that the person achieves when they have processed both the assembly and the rejection and arrived at the specific clarity that the Frankenkid carries: the clarity of the person who knows exactly what they are made of and has stopped waiting for the world that made them to confirm that what they are made of was what the world intended.
