PLNDR popephoenix NO LOVE tee

[Update] Today I found out I WON the PLNDR Members Made T-shirt Contest.

Although I didn’t have the majority vote (I really call shenanigans on that *wink) I did win the favor of the judges at PLNDR and I was announced the winner. I wanna thank everyone who voted for me and everyone who help promote me by influencing their social circles. Another step in the road to artistic fame. Thanks again.

So today I decided to participate in the PLNDR Members Made t-shirt contest. Even though I’m not entirely thrilled with the terms I could use a $1000 in credit on their site so why not take a shot. I’ll create more ideas tomorrow. If you’re on this site you must like my work in some way if that’s the case, please show your support by hopping over to the site and casting a vote for my tee. I’m not condoning down voting but I wouldn’t be mad if you did. I kid, I kid.

106 Rock Band Tee

Earlier this year I was asked to make a Tee for the game Rock Band which appears on PS3 and Xbox 360. To be honest, I’m not sure if this shirt ever went to print which is one of pet peeves I have with my job. I do enjoy the piece itself which is the main reason you are seeing it right now. This is a relatively tame use of typography as I’m still learning about good use the ins and outs of the technique. There is still tons I need to learn about it. Especially how to interlock letters and integrate them into the setting the fonts reside in. Over time and practice I will get better. This was from earlier this year. I’ll post some typography references later this week.

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.

Day 179: Ganesh Lord of Obstacles & maybe DJing

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.
