Protect your madness

"Madness will be an important creature throughout your journey. Protect it.” The line is a reminder that the odd ideas that visit at the wrong hour are often the ones that move the work forward; they’re skittish, easy to scare off, and worth keeping close. The tee places the quote under two candid faces to anchor it in real people, not theory but artists mid‑process, letting the strange part speak. The small “Mad Art Dept.” on the front keeps it casual, like a studio pass. Wear it on good days to celebrate the run, and on hard days to keep the door open for that creature when it comes back.
