My Shirt Store...

So, DESIGN BY HUMANS have set me up with my own t shirt store. Check it out HERE. These designs above the only 4 I got up so far, so I need to put pen to paper and get some more out.

DON'T EAT CHEESE BEFORE BED!

New art for the Threadless Nightmare Snowboard comp. Challenge is to design a snowboard and shirt..
I went for a 'don't eat cheese before you go to bed' nightmare theme. Wish me luck.

Black Rock Collective Card Deck 3.

Our 3rd deck (art directed my yours truly) from the Black Rock Collective. Here's the blurb that will accompany then HERE at our online store:

I hear you asking, "What is this I see before me? Playing cards, or 54 little pieces of art?"

I know, I know..this is the same opening line as the first two (and award winning) BRC card decks. But this deck is completely different to it's first two predecessors.

The Black Rock Collective hurried to get this deck out as the end of the world was, according to it's sources, the year 2012, right??

This beautiful deck, with artworks of mass destruction lovingly created by 30 artists of the BRC, pays homage to all those various myths, legends and conspiracy theories about how our little blue planet might meet its demise. Each artists, some more than once, has interpreted the end of the world differently. There's horsemen, meteors, floods, pandemics, and more than one skull in this deck.

As always, the styles are as varied as the BRC's nationalities. What IS different about this deck (masterfully named 'Version 3') is that every BRC artists started with a completely black background, with the black suits reversed out in white.

We hope you enjoy our 3rd deck, and if you don't have the first two decks, go buy them NOW and make your set complete.

Watermark advertisment...

Something different this time. This was for a full page advertisement I did for Watermark. As one of 24 artists I was honoured to be asked to this. The concept was inspired by a recent Mambo piece i did, which was loosely based on old Richard Scarry illustrations I remember as a child. Did'nt we all grow up on Little Golden Books?? :)

95% pencil sketch, 5% photoshop modified. Hope you like it.

LATEST THREADLESS COLLAB...

Here's some close ups on my latest sub at Threadless. A collaboration with the very talented Joe Van Wetering. Not alot to tell really, just inspired by black light artwork. Long story of how I came to this imagery actaully..go to the Threadless link to see! :)

HERE'S my entry in the Threadless charity comp for the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation. The brief ask for a design that visualised 'overcoming obstacles'. I took a side ways approach to this and designed a shirt that would make families effected by this disease a 'member of a gang' for lack of a better word. Some to visually convey the strength and unity of a courageous bunch of folks joined together by something ultimately so horrible.
Above are my final submissions on a red shirt, with a couple of black shirt variants I toyed with early on.

This friday, I am honoured to be featured in a small collection of Threadless artists being exhibited by T-World magazine. Check out all the event info above, and HERE.
