Art Is Power Vol. I — The Billie's Blues Set
Original artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges. Designed for collectors, art lovers, and those who believe art belongs beyond the gallery wall.
About the Artwork
Lady Day on your chest. Lady Day in your hands. This is the complete Billie's Blues experience — an oversized boxy tee and a matching ceramic mug, both carrying Antionette Simmons Hodges' cut-and-paste ransom-note collage portrait of Billie Holiday.
One of the most recognizable designs in the collection, Billie's Blues pairs bold typography with a painterly blue portrait — the kind of piece that stops you and makes you look twice. On heavyweight cotton. On a glossy 11oz ceramic. Both made to last.
What's included:
- Billie's Blues Collector Tee — 6 oz Airlume combed ring-spun cotton, rich matte DTG print, unisex relaxed fit
- Billie's Blues Ceramic Mug — glossy 11oz, dishwasher safe, full-wrap art print
Save $14 vs. buying both items separately at full price — no code needed. Bundle price already reflects your Juneteenth savings.
📦 Each item is printed to order. Tee and mug may ship separately — typically within 3–7 business days.

The Artist
Antionette Simmons Hodges
A Maryland-based painter and retired Washington D.C. art educator with over 35 years of work honoring the beauty, strength, and resilience of Black life.

DTG-printed garments need a little extra care to keep the artwork looking sharp for years.
- Wash inside out — always
- Cold water only — warm and hot water fade DTG prints
- Gentle or delicate cycle
- No bleach or fabric softener — both degrade the ink
- Tumble dry low, or hang to dry for best results
- Do not iron directly on the print
- Do not dry clean
Treated well, your print will hold its depth and detail wash after wash.
