Photographic Black Cat Face t-shirts with striking large eyes and the option to choose from Hello Darkness My Old Friend lyric options!
Artwork RIPS happen everyday, unfortunately. And our Black Cat photographic print (of our beloved little lady, Ella) is one of our most ripped t-shirt prints. Please support indie and help halt the theft by only purchasing from the below list of Hello Darkness My Old Friend Cat T-Shirts and other Apparel. We thank you… as does Ella.

All of the following are great places to pick up a high quality “Hello Darkness” apparel print — t-shirts, sweatshirts, long sleeve t-shirts, hoodies and kids apparel.
That said, in 2025 TeePublic created what is called Dashery — this platform which is powered by TeePublic & orders fulfilled by TeePublic, has allowed us to set top value pricing on all of our designs! This means you can now purchase our striking Hello Darkness designs at a starting price of USD$16 for Classic fit T-Shirts!!! WOW right! Quality isn’t sacrificed, and we receive a great royalty. Take a look at the GritFX Dashery store today!!
All profits we make from the image of Ella — who turned 19 in 2026! — go towards the costs of caring for her in her senior years.

2025 Update!
The issue of stolen artwork continues to plague us and we continue the battle of removing Ella from various online marketplaces.
We have therefore made the decision to make Ella and the Hello Darkness My Old Friend designs available on a few more selected marketplaces that we feel have good reputations, and have always been great at removing infringing content.
Now available via:
• Tostadora – Available on apparel only.
• Zazzle – Available on t-shirts and selected merchandise, including puzzles!
If you love Ella as much as we do, you might be interested to know we also have the following available as a puzzle!
More details to come as we re-work this page 🙂
Please remember, if you see Ella’s cat face and these designs anywhere else, they are illegal listings and use ripped screen resolution artwork. Say, No thanks! and we Thank you for supporting indie!
