While I’m Alive – Frightened Rabbit T-Shirt

Hand drawn by Manchester designer Michael Wylie whose typography prints can be found on his company’s web site sketchbookdesign.co.uk. Michael was born and raised in Sunderland in North East England and moved to Manchester to attend university. While studying on his Foundation Art & Design course at Manchester Metropolitan University, Michael first started to experiment with the use of words and typography in his artwork. Following his Fine Art degree, and while working as an Art and Design lecturer, Michael began to create some personal typographic artwork. One of these designs was inspired by the hit TV show Breaking Bad and the artwork drew the attention of AMC who produced the show. The interest in his work drove Michael to pursue his passion and this led to the creation of Sketchbook Design. Michael decided to release this Frightened Rabbit design to raise money to try and help more young men in similar situations to the late Scott Hutchison, a founding member of the band and lead singer songwriter who was found dead on the banks of the Firth of Forth in May 2018. A quarter of the royalties from the sale of the t-shirt will be donated to The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), an award-winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. In 2015, 75% of all UK suicides were male.
