Virtually all of my work output is Threadless based – I’d love to break out in to gig posters one days, but when an opportunity comes along to design a shirt for one of the best ever animated comedies it’s really hard to pass up. I made four designs in total, and this was the […]
Really proud to say that this one printed! It was for a design challenge to create a shirt based on an Oxymoron. There were a few I came up with, mostly music based. As well as being printed it also was the winner of the challenge. So pleased at the response I had with this. […]
One of the great things about Threadless is the community (at least most of it) sometimes community challenges are organised on the forums, and this was part of that. Basically you chose someone’s design, they chose one of your and you remake it. “Remake Swapsies”. This was a design from a talented guy called Ryder […]
This was for a Black and White design challenge. I thought long and hard about things which we’re used to seeing in colour. At the time I was reading a lot about pop artists, which led me down a different path, the Mondrian. I started thinking about halftones, patterns to represent the bright, vivid colours […]
Threadless ran a challenge to design a shirt for The Flaming Lips. Ironic really because the first post I made on this site of mine was about their covers album of Dark Side of the Moon. Anyway, I took the opportunity to make a fair few designs, all in different styles. Whilst I didn’t win, […]
This was for a challenge to design a tee shirt which glowed in the dark. My idea came from The Day of the Dead. I wanted to turn it on it’s head and call it night of the dead. In daylight there’s a butterfly on a lightbulb, in the dark there’s a silhouette of a […]
I’ve not posted anything since mid-june. I’m not sure if I have regular visitors or not, but sorry if you’ve been expecting anything new. There’s been plenty of ups and downs in the past few months. I’m about to embark on a massive update session. Hopefully I can get my shit together and update this […]
I’ve been a huge fan of Roy Lichtenstein since I went to see an exhibition in 1993 when I was teenager. Twenty years later there’s a new retrospective show that I will be making a rare trip down south to see. Nothing too interesting to say here, obvious similarities with the words Lichtenstein and Frankenstein! Just taken […]
The brief for this job was…
Once in a while Threadless have challenges which really inspire me, and the current “Select” challenge is one of those. Threadless have a premium range called Select, and as well as tee shirts, they have polo shirts (I was lucky enough to win the challenge), sweaters, sweatshirts and all sorts of fancy ladies wear. The […]
A series I’m creating in a style inspired by dot to dot puzzles. I loved them as a kid and I always used to like squinting my eyes and guessing what the puzzle was before joining the dots. So that’s what I’m doing with some of my musical heroes. See my Society6 page for more. […]
I visited Bali whilst visiting a friend in Singapore. It was a profound trip and I’m still in awe of the place, so mysterious and beautiful. I originally did this when I came back as a tee shirt design, and whilst I liked it, I wanted it to feel warmer and more handmade, so this […]
