Lonely Kids Club and Kayla Reay Launch Clive the Cyclist Tee with Coloured Pencil Magpie Illustration

Lonely Kids Club, an independent clothing brand based in Sydney, has teamed up with Australian traditional artist Kayla Reay to launch a graphic tee showcasing Clive the Cyclist, an Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) portrayed as a weekend cyclist. The entirely hand-drawn design, crafted with colored pencils, beautifully reflects the magpie's shimmering black-and-white feathers along with its lime-green jersey, racing bike, and aerodynamic helmet. Clive’s slightly judgmental, caffeine-deprived look indicates he has already cycled forty kilometers and is now waiting for an oat flat white. Each piece is printed on 180 GSM combed cotton in Lonely Kids Club's Sydney studio, using digital direct-to-garment techniques that maintain the hand-drawn texture. Available in white, athletic grey, forest green, and navy, the design emphasizes the colored pencil details without any plastic gloss. This collaboration follows a feature on Raku Inoue’s work with Gap and was submitted by Warwick, the founder of Lonely Kids Club. The Clive the Cyclist Tee and other independent artist pieces can be found in the graphic tees collection, showcasing how wearable graphic art can convey a unique, heartfelt local narrative.
