This brain doesnt look like anything from a textbook. The anatomy is all there, you can see the hemispheres and the fold structure clearly, but the whole thing is flooded with colour. The left side runs warm, oranges and peachy pinks bleeding together, the right side goes cool with sky blue and deeper cobalt. Theres a hot magenta stripe right down the middle where the two hemispheres split. And below the whole structure, long paint drips hang down like its literally dripping off the canvas. The black outline work is bold, almost like a screen print rather than thread.
Ten colours but the machine only stops 9 times since the black does double duty. Stitch density lands near 1,000 per square inch so the fills have real body to them. The drip section at the bottom adds extra height to the design so plan your hoop placement accordingly, especially at the larger sizes where the total height hits almost 7 inches. Pop it on a black tee centred on the chest and the colours really fire. I get messages about this one for black canvas totes regularly, and last summer a customer ordered a batch of them and the way the colours hit against dark fabric it reads almost neon.
Stick mid-weight cutaway behind jersey tees and any knit fabric since the dense fill can pull a single-sided tearaway loose. Stitch on dark or neutral fabrics, it works better here than on white since the bold outline pops and the lighter fill colours stay vivid. Skip very lightweight fabrics below about 4 ounces per square yard. Message me if anything doesnt load, I check messages daily.
What people are using this design for

- Psychology and neuroscience student giftsCentred on a black or navy tee it makes the obvious graduation or end-of-year gift for psych and neuro students.
- Science teacher and professor apparelOn the chest of a denim jacket or cardigan it works as wearable art for anyone in a science-creative crossover field.
- Art school and creative professional teesArt school students use this for their own custom hoodies, the pop art style fits the aesthetic without looking corporate.
- Medical and healthcare staff sweatshirtsOn a dark grey sweatshirt the colour contrast really holds, the blues and oranges pop in a way they wouldnt on white.
- Novelty tote bags for book and art fairsOn a canvas tote it gets comments at markets and book fairs from people who think its a printed design not stitched.
- Dark fabric caps and beaniesThe design scales down to fit a cap front panel well, the bold outline keeps it readable at the smaller size.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
