By my last few posting it might be easy to assume that all I am doing is designing t-shirts but I promise that is not the case. I have actually been quite busy working on all kinds of projects. I plan on posting on those soon. I am more eager to find time to get on here and blog about my lettering process. With that said I have however been using some of my spare time to bust out some ideas for shirt designs that had been brewing in my mind for some time. This is one I was excited to work on. I had the idea of an octopus sqirting out bright colorful inks in defense. Blend and defend!
I think I have made it more than apparent that I enjoy designing t-shirt graphics. I have had a blast creating them for clients and entertaining myself by participating in these contests. Something about having that complete creative freedom to design whatever your crazy mind comes up with for a shirt graphic, then putting it up and watching it get voted on, is such a thrill. Threadless has been my main source of this creative fix but I recently discovered and joined Designbyhumans.com It is yet another great site for, submitting, checking out, buying, and voting on kick butt t-shirt designs.
Here is my first submission to DBH. This shirt, I designed with nature on the mind. I must be on a kick! When I was sketching this I was keeping in mind not only the beauty and diversity in nature but how it all links together. If you find yourself watching an occasional nature show like me, you have learned a few of many ways nature connects. Humming birds and flowers, fish with anemones, the list goes on and on. I wanted to design a shirt graphic where one continuous line communicated this natural wonder.
If you have time Check out Design by Humans and don’t forget to give me a vote!
I have also discovered Emtees.com which is a site for promoting your t-shirt designs where ever they may be. There are some great shirt designs to be viewed!
So I am back on the threadless kick. Nothing like busting out some apparel design to keep the creative juices flowing. I had fun doing this one. I wanted to do something outdoorsy. With the weather getting nicer (or at least trying to in Ohio) I have outdoors on the brain.
I had some fun with a medium I haven’t worked with in a long time with this design. Watercolor! I actually used water color pencils which I haven’t used many time total. It is quite fun! Water color, colored pencil, ink and then good oldphotoshop was the total involvement in the creation of this one. It is pending approval at this point but check back to vote and see how it does! I have a few others brewing in the creative pot and hope to have some extra time to get them finished and submitted soon.
Remember the good old days of elementary school art class. Around each holiday you had the pleasure of drawing pictures of holiday themed.. things. I remember drawing pictures of leprechaun in art class around St. Patties day. I also remember the consequences of not wearing green but that is another story. Anyway, leprechaun were always depicted as these happy go lucky little guys with no care in the world other than finding four leaf clovers, rainbows, and pots of gold. I quickly thought to myself, what if there was an unlucky leprechaun? is it possible? Sure!
This leprechaun didnt forget to wear his green but he is sore out of luck. I had never seen an unlucky leprechaun (um.. or any for that matter but roll with me here) so I decided to create one. One of the many thrills of illustration.
He stepped on his four leaf clover, is loosing his lucky pot o gold, and here comes the rain. Dang!
Happy St. Patricks Day! I was honored to just find out that this illustration I did and contributed to I stock’s collection, was chosen as “Vector of the week”. Thanks i stock!
