The $11 t-shirt deal of the day over at TeeFury today is called “The King is Dead” by NikHolmes and is inspired by Breaking Bad.

Teefury now offers a few colors for each design; click on the color blocks in the “Select your color, size & quantity” area to preview each color. Men’s sizes are S-XL for $11, 2XL (add $1), and 3XL (add $2); Women’s sizes are S-XL for $11, 2XL (add $1), and 3XL (add $2); and Youth sizes are XS-XL. Visit the sale page to get today’s tee or to grab yesterday’s design.
Per the artist:
This design excited me because I saw it as a chance to do something darker in tone than my usual pop mash ups. I wanted to reflect the depths WW had reached on his journey and go beyond the usual Heisenberg persona. I was trying to show that beyond the hat and glasses, Heisenberg was no longer an adopted persona for Walter but Heisenberg IS Walter and vice versa. The seated Walter – is he looking upon these items, which represent his past sins, with regret? With sorrow? You can’t tell, and this is deliberate. I wanted to riff on the classic ‘throne’ imagery that began Season 5, but rather than the defiant figure shown there this one is crumpled, beaten and worn. Surrounded by darkness, a man alone at the end of his journey.
