Tiger Rock

Once again more insanity from the bowels of my work harddrive. Here’s a music inspired animal tee starring a Tiger throwing up the rock & roll devil horns. I would think Tigers would be more into Jazz or house music but everything can’t be a stereotype right?

There will be another post this week that’s already written about fate I’m just trying to create the right image to go with it.

In other Popephoenix News: I’m starting on my path to learn 3D modeling and have started messing around with Z brush and Maya. Once I have more than a sphere with bumps on it to show, there will be some pieces popping up on the Atlas. Finally, my children’s book is almost complete. Now all that is left is the cover and the intro page. More on that soon as well.

Peace and stay creative.

Understand when I say I draw weird shit for work… I’m not just talking out my ass. This is one of a series of weird illustrations I had to create. A monkey astronaut. It does happen in real life but who wants this on their shirt. I actually have a friend who would love this shirt, lol. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

For the rest of this week, I’ll be posting the random types of artwork I do at my day job designing T-shirts for Old Navy, Target, Walmart, Rue21, etc. I spend a lot of time drawing and I haven’t been posting them since they were for work. But in the end they are my pieces and I have every right to show them. So here is Ganesh the Lord of Obstacles. In this shirt the obstacle was getting the crowd moving. I’ve designed a lot of crazy shit since being here at C-Life when I’m asked to make a Hindu god tear a party down I am as shocked as I used to be. More weirdness is in the queue, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Day 178: Naked With Socks On Tees

One of my good friends over at Naked With Socks On asked me to design a couple shirts for his new online store he was building that would represent one of his most popular topics “Wet Wednesdays.” Since RO designed NWSO, I didn’t feel right if someone else came in and started fiddling with my work, lol. So I was happy to oblige. I had only one restriction and that was to make an “I <3 NY” style t-shirt but use Wet Wednesday instead. This is the final product I came up with it looks really nice and captures the idea of WW without being overtly sexual which WW can be at times.

This next t-shirt was dedicated to the catch phrase “Hi I’m Naked!” Which is one of the taglines for the site. The image is based on the classic photo of the Red Hot Chili Peppers front man, Anthony Kiedis walking around with a sock on his… uhh… chili pepper.  NWSO wanted an icon graphic with the rocking a sock. BAM. There you go.

Hope you enjoy the T-shirts and if you’d like to purchase them head over to the NWSO online store to purchase them. All proceeds go to starving artists that work for NWSO and Popephoenix.com.

Well, well, well… look at that snazzy tee that kid is wearing on the Graphic Tee page of Rue21′s website. Not only is that kid modeling one of my tees but that Large Skulls and Cross tee is mine as well. Shit, I feel like fist pumping like a champ right now…

Rue 21 Graphic Tees

Graphic Tee, Live and In Color

More Pope tees found in the wild. Two new designs I created can be found and purchased on Rue 21′s website in all their glory.  I don’t know why people love these style of tee’s, which were pretty much started by Affliction and Ed Hardy a couple years back. I affectionately call them Jersey Shore Tees in my mind. Hope you like them because I like seeing my work in public. More is on the way.

You can find them here Rue 21 Men’s Graphic Tees and they are named Savior Wing and Empire Cross, respectfully, but not by me, lol.
