Bold graphics, glow-in-the-dark, fun typography… Man, but I love t-shirts. It’s a mobile billboard people will pay you for the right to wear and can be a great conversation starter.
I’ve always been a band shirt guy and my work often reflects that. This Motörhead-inspired shirt featuring the Richland mascot R. Möbius Thunderduck.
This Richland Student Life shirt features two of my Thunderduck mascot designs and drove traffic towards our social media accounts. We had just enough money in the promotional budget to make the white portions glow-in-the-dark and who doesn’t like that?
Richland is part of the MALES program (“providing mentoring and support to male students while helping them develop personally and professionally as future college graduates”) for Dallas College. I was asked by their leader to create a shirt for their annual Male Initiative Summit.
Inspired by “muscle body” t-shirts from the 90’s, I created this design based on the most important meal in my household. How will you get a good start to the day without a good breakfast? Thus the breakfast body was born, complete with syrup text tattoos.
A t-shirt design based on the mythical “jackalope,” an animal that’s part jackrabbit, part antelope, and all mischief. This was initially created during a weekly sketch meeting with a group of other artists before I took it into digital art.
It’s become a trend that a lot of gifts to my brothers are articles of clothing with their faces on it. I got his wife to surreptitiously snap a photo at their favorite Mexican restaurant and BOOM, the enchilada-eating shirt was born.
My dad (modeling my piece here) works with a mechanic named Rodney that raises chickens and loves cartoons. Rodney sells his eggs to his friends under the name “chicken bullets.” A short while later, I dropped this design on a t-shirt for him.
Sometimes a sketch works out well enough to make the jump directly to a t-shirt. This illustration of Yggdrasil, “the World Tree,” was part of an Inktober (“ink” plus “October”) series of pen artwork I did.
