The Dusk Man t-shirt is based on a design by Andy Dog which was used for the cover of Dusk, released in January 1993; the Dusk Man was superimposed over a cityscape of London viewed from the south side of the river Thames at twilight. Andrew Johnson (aka Andy Dog), Matt’s late brother, created the artwork for many of THE THE’s early albums and single sleeves. His work often featured tortured, grimacing figures coupled with black-humoured, melancholic themes. He trained at Camberwell School of Art, contributed to many European and British underground comics and magazines and also worked for the UK music press. He was responsible for establishing the visual identity of the Some Bizzare record label as well as creating sleeves for numerous other recording artists. This 3cm x 3cm badge is 2mm thick, with a butterfly fastening and THE THE logo on the back.
